Their Nasi lemak with ayam goren g is also raved by many Malaysians as to be one of the best.ġ3, Jalan Balai Polis, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpurįacebook | Instagram 6. The chicken curry was creamy, with a hint of spiciness and soaked up with the roti jala well. Plus, who can forget the three happy Malaysian faces- Ali, Muthu and Ah Hock? I tried their Roti Jala with Chicken Curry (RM15). It’s not old but it serves all the kopitiam delights. Ali, Muthu and Ah HockĪli, Muthu and Ah Hock- almost every Malaysian would be familiar with this joint. G85, ICC Pudu, Jalan 1/77C, Pudu, 55100 Kuala Lumpurįacebook | Instagram | Website 5. The price points admittedly fares better so it’s time to take a trip to ICC Pudu. Fragrant, it pairs well with their Signature Toast (RM2.50) along with their perfectly done soft-boiled eggs (RM2.40). A glass of Hainan tea (RM2.50) is the must-order here. The menu is limited to drinks, toast and half-boiled eggs. Many folks living in KL regard Ah Weng Koh Hainan Tea as one of the best Hainanese coffee shops.

The Hainanese Chicken Chop (RM15.90) is highly recommended, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

Honestly, I’ve always passed by this kopitiam and never knew what it was. It can be rather easy to miss Kafei Dian as it’s hidden by greenery. I couldn’t possibly leave without trying their famous Hainanese Chicken Chop (RM15.30) - peas, carrots, potatoes and a slab of tender chicken, it definitely brought back memories.ġ, Jalan Kamunting, Chow Kit, 50300 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpurįacebook | Instagram 3. A quick sip of the Kopi Cham (RM2.60) and I felt once again transported back home. The rich kaya dipped in eggs definitely hit the spot. The Toast (RM3.70) came with their homemade kaya and a pat of butter. Helmed by the third-generation owner, there is often a never-ending stream of patrons queuing up for a bite. Serving traditional Hainanese food since 1928, Yut Kee ’s meals have withstood the test of time. If you have the patience in you to queue, then yes, Ho Kow Hainam is definitely worth trying.ġ, Jalan Balai Polis, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpurįacebook | Instagram | Website 2.

But the Neslo came to the rescue, not too sweet and super refreshing.

The portion of the toast was generous, the kaya sweet, and when paired with the creamy eggs, it was simply bliss. Within minutes, I dug into my Butter & Kaya Toast (RM6.80), Half-boiled Eggs (RM3.40), Tobiko Flower Dim Sum (RM4.60) and Iced Neslo (RM4.90). After an hour queuing up, I was shown to my seat. Quick tip- there’s always a crowd waiting for a seat outside. You can’t possibly miss Ho Kow Hainam Kopitiam. And so I set off in my ‘King of the Road’ and scoured Klang Valley for the 10 local kopitiam spots to help satisfy your (and my) roti bakar cravings. So when I was all alone in Klang Valley for the first time, I wanted nothing more than that same nostalgic breakfast. Having grown up in Penang, I spent many weekends waking up to visit the local kopitiam for my quintessential breakfast fare which often consisted of dim sum and charcoal-toasted roti bakar dipped in soft-boiled eggs. Just like how many of us Malaysians adore our mamak culture, the same feeling is reciprocated towards our local kopitiams.
