M5 Coffee Malaysia, Taman Tun Dr Ismail

From Taipei to TTDI, this marks the first Malaysian outpost of a Taiwan-born cafe brand in Taman Tun Dr Ismail.

Inspired by Taiwan’s main mountain ranges, M5 Coffee serves speciality drinks named after the Coastal Range, Alishan Range and other Taiwanese summits.

For Malaysia, M5 has created the special Mount Kinabalu, scaling its peak coffee blend with orange juice and an espresso ice cube.

For a taste of Taiwan, try the Coastal Range, comprising coffee layered smoothly with coconut milk and butterfly pea jelly - the blue-hued jelly provides a boba-like bite for a playful, pleasurable beverage.

Also fun: The Oatmeal Cookie Cup Latte served in a cup-shaped, chocolate-lined oatmeal cookie that’s baked in-house in limited numbers - sip the hot coffee while chewing the cookie for an indulgent latte.
