Killiney Kopitiam

Another new foodie entry after so long! Yay!

Yup, very short name for this new place we went to. Passed by this place a couple of times with my hubs and never really thought of trying it, but since we had to do something within the vicinity and this is ultimately new that neither of us been before, we decided to give it a shot.


Location: Times Square, right at the end of the building next to a bunch of ATM machines



Setting: Very minimalistic, kinda very cramped, and from the looks of the menu, it seems that there is very limited choices of food to have for lunch.

My buddy's Iced Yuen Yang, which is a blend of coffee and tea

My Milo drink

My buddy's chicken curry

My Mee Siam
Kaya and butter toast

As a tea connoisseur, my buddy finds his Yuen Yang delightful that the tea flavour still shines through despite the presence of coffee. But for me, was not my cup of tea, no pun intended. My Milo drink, on the other hand, has a layer of Milo powder on top, prolly trying to emulate the feel of Milo Dinosaur feel, but it tastes pretty good for me.

The portion size for my buddy's chicken curry is huge with almost half a chicken inside the bowl. As you can see, it was not too oily and even the skin of the thigh was removed, which was something my buddy doesn't find it too favourable. For my Mee Siam, it's nice and flavorful. Not too spicy and the sourness of the sauce is pretty spot on. The noodles were cooked well too and the eggs were the best amongst it all. The only beef I have about it is that mee siam is supposed to be served in a bowl, not on a plate.

Brought my daughter along, so ordered the toast for her to eat while I had my food. It's quite sweet, and yes, crispy yet soft all at the right places. The butter is a little off, makes it look very fatty though. But my little princess likes it! XD 

By far, the place is definitely clean and lots of lighting, but not exactly comfortable for me. If you want to go eat there, you need to be there for tea time, not full blown lunch because it wouldn't feel right as their menu seems to be specialized in toasts and the lunch menu is super limited.

Overall rating: 4.5/10
