Coffee of Hawaii at Damansara Perdana- a Deaf-In Business (DIB) Project





Two weekends ago, we came across this new cafe near Mum's Place in Damansara Perdana. We initially wanted to grab a bite at Mum's Place but the restaurant was not opened yet. We picked Coffee of Hawaii over the other nearby cafe as we were attracted by the vivid wall painting on the restaurant wall. (See above)


Coffee of Hawaii is the first Deaf-In Business. The restaurant offers the deaf community a place to try living and working like anyone of us. They are not only working at servers but some of those with baking and cooking skills are even working in the kitchen (The operator even told me that one of the bakers used to work in RT Pastry!). Trust me! They are working like any normal workers. In order for us to communicate with them, the considered business operator even had sign language chart painted on the wall (at the main entrance) and also at the reverse side of the menu. With these guides, you can definitely be able to communicate with them without any problems. Come! Let's learn a few sign language from the designated "tutor of Coffee of Hawaii - Mila"!





DIB offers lunch sets (see below) from Aloha Chicken, Spaghetti Chicken Ball and Chicken Wings. My husband ordered the spaghetti while I had the Aloha Chicken. The food is in decent portion and it tasted good too! The owner is also very nice to still offer us the sets although we walked in beyond 2.30pm. Oh yeah! The food ingredients used at Coffee of Hawaii are from Halal sources. 





Spaghetti Chicken Ball which my husband had - RM12.50



This is my Aloha Chicken - RM14.50



There are also wide selection of desserts being sold at the restaurant such as Passionfruit Mousse (RM3 each cup),  Pineapple Cheese Cake (RM6 per slice), Passion Fruit Cheesecake (RM6 per slice) and many more. The operator even gave us some home-made passion fruits ice cream for us (and all the other diners) to sample. I must say it is very smooth and unique. (I realized that Hawaiian loves Passion Fruit! It is a great fruit packed with Vitamins and Antioxidant for sure!)

Lastly, it has to be their unique selection of coffee bean - air flown from Hawaii. For coffee connoisseurs, this is a must try item! If you like the coffee which you order, you can even buy a packet of the coffee bean back home.
