is the food slightly pricey for the setting? yes. would I still come back? definitely yes. 4.5/5 I think the food is worth the price and the kampong setting is homely, especially with the surrounding eateries adopting a more western style aesthetic. the service is also quick and easy, with ordering done on paper to avoid confusion or misunderstanding. that said, I did run into some issues ordering takeout, but it was resolved as soon as the staff realised. my friend and I ordered a hor fun/three-layered tea and blueberry chicken fried rice/longan drink respectively. the hor fun was really good, lots of flavour, not too salty, that perfect viscosity and was a generous af serving. the three-layered tea might be a tad sweet for some, but I really liked it. as for the experimental blueberry chicken, I found myself, against all odds, actually liking the taste?? it’s a bit strange at first, but it’s definitely a must-try. the sauce was also generous and blueberry tasting, but the tangy sweetness kinda works like a pseudo sweet and sour sauce? the chicken is a little dry though. finally, the longan drink was the standard canned kind, and for RM5.90 might be on the pricier end. Still enjoyed it though. menu attached below, with lunch special! -broke college kid

TLDR: Nothing special here. Fried chicken chop tasted nice but rather ordinary. Toasts were sub-par and served cold. Everything is served cold except the freshly fried chicken chop. Would not come back here again. Queued 15mins for this and is quite disappointing. Extensive menu, good for families, but don't expect very nice tasting food. We sat on the 2nd floor. Floor board keeps bumping up and down when people walk around, feels quite annoying, but I understand this is a shop house :x Service was nice, especially this young Indian guy who can speak Mandarin. Hainanese Fried Chicken Chop: Chicken chop was freshly fried and steaming hot when cut into it. Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Gravy with peas was cold; gravy tasted like regular mashed potato gravy. Quite nice to dip the chicken in gravy (my preferred way of eating). Potato wedges just regular, not crispy, cold wedges. Could do better if served hot and crispy. Tomato was meant to be roasted tomato but this is just raw tomato (I don't like it personally). Coleslaw is nice. Overall 3/5 Peanut Butter & Butter Toast: The white bread appeared to be toasted but they are served cold. It seems like they toast a bunch of bread beforehand and store them until order comes in, slap on some spread then serve it cold?? They didn't even bother to warm it up. Rating: 1/5

place was definitely over hyped, typical of singaporeans. i mean, i am also from singapore, but i think everyone hyped this place too much. i ordered the toast, some coffee, and the signature fried chicken chop. the chicken chop was nothing to hype about, honestly. when i cut into the cutlet, ton of oil was spilling out. it's crispy, but quite flavourless, maybe they didn't add enough spice to the flour for frying. or maybe they are overwhelmed with patrons so their quality of food dropped over time, but definitely not something i would crave. coffee tasted good, but my dad say the hot coffee probably was left unattended for a while, cause it's luke warm when served. i ordered the iced coffee, it's good enough for me. bread was ok, like any other place. when i reached, there was no queue, but upstairs was almost full so we were lucky. when we were leaving, there was a queue outside, like 4-5 groups of people waiting. but still, i think it was over hyped. service staff, only the chinese guy was diligent, the others just took their time. place full of nostalgia, but the stairs is quite steep and i feel it's quite dangerous for elderly..

Visited them on a couple of times. Crowded but waiting time were acceptable as compare to other cafes around. Have more seats on the second level which is more airy. Menu were extensive with lots of variety to choose from that you will never be able to clear them with a couple more trips. Comfort food that you can rely on. Halal food items which is still quite close to chinese zi cha taste bud. Slightly on the more savory or sweet flavouring depending on the items ordered. Food were serve quite fast after orders were made depending on the crowds as lots of people comes around the same timing (between 11 to 3). Presentation of items were not bad for that speed. Maybe to take note will be the staircase, very steep upward inclined, not recommended for older generation or for younger kids to play with. When the weather is hot, the place may be slightly warm despite open space at second lvl. You may have company eyeing on your food or left over beside you. 😉

📷 Gold Bun w Salted Egg Sauce (RM10.5 w GST) 📷 Cantonese Kuey Teow (RM11.45 w GST) 📷 Double Butter Kaya Toast (RM3.71 w GST) 📷 Butter Kaya Croissant (RM7.95 w GST) 📷 Milo Dinosaur, Milo O, Kopi (RM14.7 w GST) 🥓 It's good! Especially because it's freshly fried or made. Would recommend the golden bun and traditional kaya butter toast. The croissant is not really worth it. 🕙 30mins waiting time to get a seat when I reached around 11am. There's a considerable length of queue. After being seated, probably another 15mins or so before your first item is served. After which the ordered item will arrive one by one. 🤑 Very affordable and value for money. TAKE MY MONEY AND HANDOVER THE FOOD. 🔥 Will definitely visit again, although hopefully there won't be a long wait. There's so much on the menu item to try such that one visit is definitely not enough.

Heard so much about this place and decide to try since happened to be no queue. It’s usually mutha crowded on a weekend. Parking in this area is also a nightmare. Ordered the signature hainanese chicken chop and a nasi lemak ayam merah. The chicken chop nth special la. The chicken chop is lightly crisp and tender on the inside. But the sauce that came with it tasted bland to me. Like just a lot of corn flour to thicken it but no taste one. I will gladly have it with bbq or black pepper sauce. The ayam merah is nice though. Gravy has a slight sour note to it that is quite appetizing. No it’s not chao sng lol. I will order the ayam merah instead of the chick chop if i will ever revisit. Oh ya the pricing here is obviously to kar sporeans. Knn the chick chop is rm19 and the nasi lemak is rm18. No locals there will pay that price man madness..
