Video: Hometown Hainan Coffee champions Malaysian cuisine at World Top Gourmet Awards

Serving authentic Malaysian cuisine with global recognition, Hometown Hainan Coffee has earned international acclaim at the World Top Gourmet Awards, showcasing local flavours for Visit Malaysia 2026.

At the World Top Gourmet Awards 2025, held in Guangzhou in November, Hometown Hainan Coffee was honoured with two distinctions: The Top Authentic Casual Dining Award and Top 10 Outstanding F&B Brands Award.

This is major recognition for the Malaysian-born brand: Judges for the awards visited multiple locations of Hometown Hainan Coffee, observing how recipes are prepared from scratch with in-house ingredients, consistent throughout the brand's 25 branches.

From Hainan Mee that has sold more than a million plates to Hainan Chicken Rice and Hainan Chicken Chop, Hainan Egg Toast to Hainan Kopi and Iced Hainan Teh, Hometown Hainan Coffee is committed to the original taste of each recipe, paired with fast, friendly service for meals that keep customers coming back.

Hometown Hainan Coffee began as a family brand in 2008 to modernise classic coffee house culture. The Koh family's grandfather formerly ran a kopitiam in KL's Central Market, grounding them in generations of heritage while shaping their contemporary approach today.
