居銮 (Kluang)




就在这个周末,我们来到居銮。靠着导航系统,顺利到达火车站。

来火车站的目的,并非欲乘搭火车回乡,而是慕名而来,品尝火车站的烤面包与半生孰鸡蛋,并一观火车站近百年的外貌。

离开火车站三百米左右,我就把汽车停在路边,然后边走边看居銮的市容。

居銮的市容与国内其它城镇大同小异,顺着铁路边的一排古老店铺,多是印度同胞或卖花,或理发等小生意。犹如到了小印度的感觉。

火车站外有一水果小档,卖水果的两位老人家很友善的和我们交谈起来,对我们说了火车站咖啡店自三十年至今的久远历史,并建议我们到南芭山走一趟。

火车站咖啡店果然名不虚传,高朋满座,华巫印三大民族齐聚一堂喝茶聊天。其中一位印度仁兄与孩子在用早餐,见到我们在等位子即招呼我们坐下,聊了几句,印度仁兄就买单离去。

我们叫了不同口味的烤面包,半生孰蛋与咖啡,味道都不错,却并非独有。值得一提的是这里的风土民情,以及在怀旧的火车站环境下喝茶,别有一番风味。

当然也拍摄了一些相片,让它们也为大家说说居銮,火车站与烤面包的故事吧。





I came to Kluang railway station, not to board a train to somewhere faraway, instead it was for its coffee, toast and half boiled eggs.

The Kluang rail coffee had started in 1930s, and with numerous cafes and modern toast houses mushrooming, it is today still attracting customers from all places around the country.

The toast, coffee and half boiled eggs were wonderfully nice and tasty, but they are not really exceptional, I have had toast and coffee elsewhere that taste as wonderful.

However, the nostalgic feel and look of the place, as well as the friendliness of the people here delighted us.

Overall, it was a pleasant trip. I also managed to snap some photos for sharing as well.

    rainfield61,
    慕名而来,也许尽兴而归,也许失望而回,就看是否浪得虚名了。

    Why we say we can't demolish the shops in Jln Sultan, KL? Don't we have plenty of similar shops throughout the country?

  6. Anonymous,
    有平靜的心,去到哪裡都是享受。

    khengsiong,
    Weigh the pros & cons, compensate reasonably, then demolish. This is how Singapore government does.

  11. eloise,
    最好叫朋友到機場接你,從機場到居鑾大約兩小時車程。若坐的士也許要坐三輛。。
