When you visit Malaysia, you will be surprised by the variety of refreshing, unusual Malaysian drinks and juices that are different from the local coffee and tea.

Aside from fizzy drinks and sodas, Malaysian Food Courts and Hawker Centers are well organized and have a central location where you can buy a cold or hot drink.

Chinese Kopitiam (Coffeeshop), Warung (Malay food stalls), and Mamak (Indian Muslim food outlets) are places to get inexpensive Malaysian Drinks.

As Malaysians, we take for granted the variety of our special Malaysian Drinks, which leave visitors with the eye-catching names and colors of the unique local Malaysian drinks.

Most local juices cost between MYR2 and MYR5, about fifty cents to USD1.20.

The diverse Malaysian community offers a wide variety of drinks for a visitor. You can find these at these local hangouts.

National Malaysian Drinks – Top is Teh Tarik

Malaysia’s cuppa is a hot, pulled, frothy milk tea drink, not coffee.

The simple ingredients are black tea, condensed milk, and sugar.

We attribute the robust flavor to using tea dust (instead of leaves).

We serve Teh Tarik at Roti Canai stalls.

If you head to a Warung, a Mamak stall, or any Kopitiam (Coffee shop), patrons will be sipping on steamy mugs of thick, rich, and foamy hot Teh Tarik.

Every Malaysian loved to enjoy a tea break regardless of race or ethnicity.

Take a sip of the sweet, earthy, and soothing beverage, and you will taste Malaysia.

We often find Teh Tarik in Mamak shops and Warung rather than Chinese Kopitam.

A good cup of Teh Tarik should have just the right amount of sweetness and about one inch of foam.
Indians prefer a sweeter Teh Tarik compared to the Chinese.

They serve Teh Tarik in glass mugs in Mamaks and teacups with saucers in the Kopitiam.

Teh Tarik is most commonly drunk during breakfast and supper, with a Roti Canai and Dahl curry meal.

You can order an iced variation, named Teh Ais (Iced Milk Tea)

Remember to tell the Mamak to make it ‘Kurang Manis’ (koo-rang ma-is) if you don’t fancy a sweet beverage.

The art of ‘pulling tea’ is regarded as a fantastic display of showmanship.

Malaysia often holds Teh Tarik competitions for stylistic skills, and competitors always put on an acrobatic show.
