[Ipoh] The name “Rahsia” means “secret” in Malay.
The choice of name aligns with this café’s minimalist, almost understated aesthetic, creating an atmosphere that feels like a “secret” escape.
Rahsia is found on the second storey of a shophouse in Ipoh’s Taman Canning. Look out for the orange door.
Upon entering, I found the décor understated, with white walls and basic furnishings.
However, you do find small groups of friends or solo coffee drinkers just enjoying their personal time there.
The vibe is calm and intimate, good for quiet conversations or solo reflection, enhanced by thoughtful design elements like soft lighting and neatly spaced tables.
The menu features a selection of beverages with interesting names.
Coffee options include the Debu, a charcoal latte (RM13 hot, RM15 cold), Madu, a honey latte (RM14 hot, RM16 cold), and more traditional choices like Legam, a black coffee (RM8 hot, RM9 cold), and Putih, a white coffee (RM10 hot, RM11 cold).
Flavoured lattes include Jingga, a caramel latte (RM12 hot, RM14 cold), Hazel, a hazelnut latte (RM12 hot, RM14 cold), and Suci, a vanilla latte (RM12 hot, RM14 cold). Other coffee offerings include Moka (RM12 hot, RM14 cold), Spanish latte (RM11 hot, RM13 cold), and Manis, an affogato (RM15).
I had the signature Debu (RM15), a charcoal latte which combines espresso, milk, activated charcoal, and a hint of salt.
The drink is smooth, with the charcoal adding a subtle texture.
Another popular option is ‘Madu’, a blend of espresso and local Tualang honey, offering a natural sweetness that complements the coffee’s flavour.
For non-coffee drinkers, you can try the ‘Semesta’ which combines blue pea flower and lemon tea.
Food choices are limited to light bites such as sandwiches and toast. The offerings are straightforward, aligning with the café’s minimalist theme.
Rahsia provides a tranquil setting, which make it a suitable spot for a quiet coffee break. Now, it is your turn to find this ‘secret’.
