Special coffee served in Malaysia (or India) - Two Cake on Plates

When I was in Malaysia an Indian friend offer to me a coffee, It tasted really nice and kinda unique. I'm not sure if that coffee was unique from Malaysia or recipe from India. The store where I got those was just a regular hawker around Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia.

It looked something like this: enter image description here

I would be really happy if you recognize or know what I am describing.

There's a very specific coffee culture to singapore and malaysia with a ton of varients.

Lets start with the basics

This is a kopi o

enter image description here

By default, any drink you order is hot. This is plain black coffee and any coffee order you make at a kopi tiam will likely be a varient on this.

You might note that its somewhat darker than your example I'd assume this means it has some condensed milk added to it. A quick google search suggested two varients.

kopi 'c' - or coffee with (evaporated) milk

kopi nai (with condensed milk and sugar) -

The former looks a bit too light, though exact mixes vary. Chances are its one of these.

That said, there's two distinct regional styles of roasting - typical coffee roasting is done with a hint of sugar and margarine, and roasted VERY dark. There's also a style called white coffee that just uses margarine that's supposed to be famous in ipoh.
