Kopi O' Kau!-Sculpture

The "Kopi O' Kau!-Sculpture" is a delightful steel-rod artwork on Lebuh Kimberley that pays homage to the quintessential Malaysian coffee shop, or "kopitiam," culture. The name is a phrase in the local Hokkien dialect that means "Give me a strong black coffee!" and is instantly recognizable to any local. The sculpture humorously depicts a scene from a traditional kopitiam, perhaps showing a "kopi-uncle" expertly preparing the coffee or a customer enjoying their brew.

This artwork celebrates a beloved and integral part of everyday life and social culture in Penang. It's a charming and nostalgic piece that adds to the rich tapestry of stories told through George Town's street art, especially fitting for a street like Lebuh Kimberley that is famous for its vibrant food and drink scene.
