Kopi Dulu: Experience Malaysia’s Coffee Culture with Oriental Kopi
Forget rushing from one stop to the next. In Malaysia, there is always time for coffee.
That is the idea behind Kopi Dulu, Palm Garden Hotel Putrajaya’s daily afternoon ritual, which has welcomed Oriental Kopi as its official coffee partner in conjunction with Malaysia Day.
Now served at the hotel’s Courtyard from 3.30pm to 5.30pm daily, Kopi Dulu gives hotel guests a chance to experience a distinctly Malaysian coffee tradition, accompanied by local teatime favourites.
And yes, the name says it all. Dulu means “first”, as in kopi comes before anything else. It also brings to mind “the old days”, when a cup of coffee was often an excuse to sit and catch up with friends.
With Oriental Kopi joining the experience, guests can now enjoy the familiar taste of Malaysian coffee as part of this nostalgic afternoon ritual. The partnership feels particularly fitting, bringing together a homegrown coffee brand and a hotel experience built around one of Malaysia’s most enduring everyday pleasures.
For travellers staying in IOI Resort City, it is also an easy addition to a city break. After exploring the nearby Putrajaya’s landmarks, strolling around its green spaces or simply checking off the day’s itinerary, the Courtyard offers a chance to slow the pace and settle into something a little more local.
There is no elaborate itinerary required. Just find a seat, grab a cup of coffee and perhaps a local bite or two.
The partnership was officially launched by Marshall Chai, General Manager of Palm Garden Hotel Putrajaya; Mr Chris Chong, Chief Operating Officer, Property Investment (Malaysia), IOI Properties Group; Dato’ Calvin Chan, Chief Executive Officer of Oriental Kopi; and Ms Tan Lee Fong, Assistant General Manager of Hospitality Management, IOI Properties Group.
So, whether you are checking into the hotel for a getaway or simply looking for a slower afternoon, leave a little space in the itinerary for Kopi Dulu.
