I visited KL in 2006 and had what I believed to be one of the best iced coffees ever. I say what I believed because I don’t know if it was good as I remembered, or if it became a legend in my own mind.
Time has a way of making things seem better than they were. Sometimes on a hot day I would dream of having an iced coffee as good as the one from KL.
The iced coffee is from King of Tea in Chinatown.

The coffee is filtered though a Chinese coffee sock and mixed with sweetened condensed milk.

The coffee is then poured into a bag of ice.
