If you’re a fan of the iconic Oriental Kopi, you’ll no longer have to trek across the Causeway to get your fix – they’re opening an outlet in Bugis Junction. This is Oriental Kopi’s first overseas venture, and it’s a collaboration with Paradise Group, a household name in Singapore that has more than 150 establishments worldwide.

One of the must-orders is the eponymous Oriental Kopi (S$2 for hot/small, S$3.20 for hot/big, S$3.50 for cold). This full-bodied Nanyang-style coffee is made from a “golden ratio” featuring a trio of top quality coffee beans: Arabica, Robusta, and Liberica. The Oriental Mocha (S$4.20 for hot, S$4.80 for cold) combines their signature brew with lashings of chocolate to create an intense and distinctive combination of chocolate and coffee flavours.

The Double Butter Kaya Toast (Traditional) (S$2.60) is a heavenly combination of fluffy bread toasted to perfection with thick slabs of butter and fragrant house-made kaya sandwiched between.

Recorded in the Malaysian Book of Records for “Most Number of Polo Buns sold”, the Oriental Polo Bun (S$4.60) comes with 2 thick slabs of chilled butter and condensed milk. To gain entry into bready, buttery heaven, simply place the butter in the warm bun, drizzle it with condensed milk and enjoy.

Oriental Kopi is also famed for its Signature Egg Tarts (S$5.20 for 2pcs, S$15.60 for 5+1 pieces). These lush custardy delights are some of the heftiest we’ve seen, and have also made the Malaysian Book of Records for being both “Thickest Egg Tart” and “Most Number of Egg Tarts Sold”. It’s easy to see (and taste) why.

For mains, there’s a large selection of rice and noodle dishes, as well as vegetarian options. The Oriental Fried Chicken Meat Mee Siam (S$9.50) comes with fragrant dry mee siam, sweet sambal, a jiggly poached egg and chunks of perfectly fried chicken. Mouthwateringly good and with a piquant spicy kick.

The Oriental Prawn Meehoon Mee (S$9.50) is incredibly aromatic and flavourful. Despite the intimidating, fiery red exterior, this dish is actually like a warm hug for the belly – the broth is made with prawn and chicken, and simmered for 5 hours. The result is a delicious, highly slurpable bowl.

To celebrate the Oriental Kopi’s grand opening, diners can purchase any 3 items and get 1 for free. The promotion is only valid from 27 Nov – 1 Dec 2024, so don’t dawdle!

  • Australia passes social media ban for children under 16

    STORY: Social media will soon be banned for under 16 year-olds in Australia.After a new law sets a benchmark with one of the world's toughest regulations targeting Big Tech.It forces tech giants from Instagram and Facebook owner Meta to TikTok to stop minors logging in or face fines of up to $32 million. ''We know there is widespread concern and evidence about the severe mental health impact of social media on children.''A parliamentary inquiry this year heard evidence from parents of children who self-harmed due to social media bullying.Domestic media backed the ban led by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.Sixteen-year-old user Lam acknowledges its potential harm but says it is deeply ingrained in society and the law will force young people to more dangerous parts of the internet.''With such a clear-cut ban, I believe that it will only create a generation of young people who will be more technologically literate in bypassing these walls."The ban also faced opposition from privacy advocates and some child rights groups, but 77% of the population wanted it, according to latest polls.Speaking on behalf of social media platforms, Australia's Digital Industry Group Managing Director Sunita Bose said the bill was rushed through parliament."In some ways it's the cart before the horse because we have the Bill, but we don't have guidance from the Australian Government around what are the right methods that a whole host of services subject to this law will need to employ."In submissions, Google and Meta said the ban should be delayed until an age-verification trial finishes, expected in mid-2025.The country will be watched as a test case as a growing number of governments look to implement similar legislation.The ban, considered a political win for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, could strain Australia's relationship with key ally the United States.X owner Elon Musk, a central figure in president-elect Donald Trump's administration, said in a post this month it seemed a "backdoor way to control access to the Internet by all Australians."Australia has also made social media platforms pay media outlets royalties for sharing their content and now plans to threaten them with fines for failing to stamp out scams.
