White coffee is a Malaysian style of coffee that began in Ipoh, Perak. The beans are roasted with margarine but with little or no sugar, and at a lighter roast than Hainan kopi.
The result is a lighter-coloured cup with a smooth, nutty taste and less bitterness. In kopitiams it is traditionally served with sweetened condensed milk.
