Tender chicken thigh coated with golden bread crust. Crisp with a slight crunch, the meat was tender all round with no hard or tough edges. Really good and better than some of the best-known Hainanese coffee shops in KL. Must try.
Hainanese breakfast staple. If you are a die-hard fan, go for it. It will not go wrong here.
The best noodles here was the Mamak Noodles. Fragrant, slightly sticky from all the sauces binding and then enveloping the noodles. This had me singing.
Customary noodles to keep the patrons happy.
Muhibbah diners!

Hard to find good Hainanese kopitiam nowadays. This reminded me of Port Klang's Cathay.
