Nestlé Malaysia has introduced Nescafé Ais Kepal, a new limited‑edition beverage inspired by one of Malaysia’s most nostalgic desserts. The launch reimagines the taste of Malaysia by blending the country’s coffee heritage with the playful indulgence of ais kepal.
Ais kepal, literally meaning “ice ball,” is a traditional Malaysian treat made by compressing shaved ice into a round ball and drizzling it with colourful syrups or condensed milk. Popular in the 1950s and 1960s, it was a childhood favourite sold at roadside stalls, offering a refreshing escape from the tropical heat.
With Nescafé Ais Kepal, Nestlé has transformed this nostalgic street dessert into a modern ready‑to‑drink format. By combining the bold flavour of Nescafé coffee with the cooling sweetness of ais kepal, the brand delivers a beverage that is both familiar and innovative — a true “taste of Malaysia.”
