Kedai Minuman Siang Chiang • Jln Munshi Abdullah — Restaurant in Malacca

It’s a classic local kopitiam, offering a variety of dishes like noodles, rice, and other options. When we arrived, the place was pretty crowded, but there was an uncle at the front, possibly the owner, helping to organize everything. He asked how many people were in our group and quickly arranged seats for us. Each table has a number, so when you order and pay, you just give your table number, and the food will be delivered to you. For example, we sat at table 17, so our orders were brought straight to us once ready. The uncle was incredibly kind and helpful. Even though I hadn’t asked him yet, he noticed that I looked confused while trying to find where to order drinks, and he immediately offered directions, explaining where to look at the menu and place the order. It was such a thoughtful gesture! We ordered a Nyonya Laksa and a Prawn Noodle. The Nyonya Laksa (small) was RM7, and the Prawn Noodle (small) was RM8. If you’re feeling extra hungry, you can upgrade to the large for just RM1 more. Both dishes arrived quickly, and I have to say, they were really tasty! The Nyonya Laksa had bihun as the base, with tofu puffs, siham, two medium-sized prawns, half a boiled egg, fish cake slices, bean sprouts, and a wonderfully rich curry broth. I forgot to ask them to leave out the siham, which was my mistake, but it didn’t take away from how flavorful the dish was. For RM7, getting two prawns of that size was quite a good deal. As for the Prawn Mee, it came with prawns, fish cake slices, kangkung, half a boiled egg, bean sprouts, and slices of chicken. The flavors all came together really well. They also provided a homemade prawn mee chili sauce on the side. Interestingly, instead of putting the chili sauce on a small dish, they placed it on a soup spoon, which seemed pretty eco-friendly to me. I’ve seen other places use separate small plate for the sauce, but this approach reduces the need for extra dishes. If you prefer a spicier kick, you can mix the sauce directly into the broth, which really enhances the flavor, or you can use it as a dip for the prawns. We also ordered a Kaya Butter Toast and a hot coffee. Together, they cost RM5.50. The Kaya Butter Toast is a must-try—crispy and fragrant, even when it cooled down a bit, the toast remained crunchy. The combination of the kaya and butter was just heavenly. As for the coffee, it was decent but nothing particularly special—just your typical cup of coffee. Overall, it was a really pleasant experience. The food was great, the uncle was super friendly, and the environment felt authentic and welcoming. If you’re looking for a breakfast or lunch spot, I’d definitely recommend...

My first visit. I was told by a good friend of mine that the Sarawak Kolo mee here is awesome. So, me as a typical Sarawakian must come and verify it. So, i come. first, there is queue system, all must wait outside of the store. the waiter will assign the seat for you. This is good especially if the outlet is pack. This is ensure first come first serve. I waited for about 10 mins as it is 15 mins before noon. Seat assigned, order drinks from the counter , a kopi ping and a set of toast. RM7.10. ok, not cheap but ok. then the kolo mee from the stall. The kopi o is so so ,nothing to shout about , the toast as well, kind of thin to my liking. Then come the kolo mee. A bit wet , so i stir and mix them well. once enter my mouth, the good old memory of sarawak kolo mee came back instantly. the curly noodle is legit authentic, springy texture, cook to perfection. The pork lard fragrance , the fried shallot, minced pork all mix well in harmony. The seasoning is good, very good. As it is prepared fresh and hot, thus it is wet. I bet if it is left for another 15 mins or so to cool donw and let the noodle soak up the seasoning, it will taste better. But since there is a crowd waiting , i dont have the heart to keep them waiting, so i just go ahead and dig in. .. loving it from the first bite. "" hello, kolo mee.. tapau 2 please ! " (take-away) i call out . hahaha... will definitely be back. They said the nyonya laksa and prawn noodle is good too. Well,...

This eatery is the highlight of my entire trip. Open from 7am - 2pm, Xiang Jiang serves up one of the best traditional Hainan coffee, paired with perfectly toasted Kaya butter toast. Kopi was thick (gao) and you can taste the self roast aroma of the beans, if you love traditional Nanyang style coffee, this is not to be missed. Rated: 9/10

Kolo mee is another not to be miss item on the menu. Noodles is chewy topped with crispy pork lard and meat sauce. A must have! Another dish from same store to order is their chicken feet. I’m not a fan but my peer who tried exclaimed it’s 10/10, I have my doubts but I’ll give it to him. Rated: 8/10

Laksa was another dish we ordered but for Singaporeans who love and used to the lemak taste of coconut milk, you can give it a miss. The laksa here is cooked just with laksa paste and assam, it lacks that punch and didn’t cut it for us. Only plus point was the cockles that came with it, very fresh and nice. 6/10

Yong Tau Fu disappointed us with the soup it served with - almost tasteless when it should have been sweet from all the cooking. The taupok and everything else ordered was ok, we have had better YTF for sure hence not a must try. 6/10

One thing to note is all the food are through different stores so the plan is best to Q for drinks and toast prior to moving on...
