SG Kopitiam — One-stop coffee shop with claypot white pepper fish head, kimchi stew & waffles
A newly-revamped coffee shop called SG Kopitiam has just opened its doors on 15 Apr 2024, adding to the abundance of food options around the Bukit Merah Central neighbourhood— yay to more choices for the nearby residents and office workers!
The new kopitiam boasts 9 stalls, including both new and established favourites famous for their long queues. Let’s dive into what foodies can expect.
For a plethora of delicious Malaysian-style zi char dishes, check out Man Tak Kei at the extreme left corner.
Besides crowd favourites like Shrimp Paste Chicken (S$12/S$18) and Tom Yum Soup (S$7.50/S$11), there’s also Sliced Fish Rice (S$7) and Beef Rice (S$8) with sauces like asam, salted egg, Thai style and cereal for you to choose from.
If you’re dining in a group, you have to try the Garlic Fragrance White Pepper Stewed Fish Head (S$30). The claypot had fish head pieces, roasted pork and golden nuggets of pork lard. I was obsessed with the sauce which had aromatic notes of garlic, sesame oil and Chinese wine. I highly recommend it!
Jin Kimchi Express, with its multiple outlets islandwide, serves all sorts of Korean specialties like Spring Onion Seafood Pancake (S$7.20), Jin Jjajangmyeon (S$7.50) and the Jin Signature Kimchi Stew Set (S$6).
The latest branch of Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang has also landed here. Indulge in one of my personal favourites, the Nasi Lemak Ayam Cabe Ijo (S$7.50) (green chilli sambal chicken). If coconut rice isn’t your jam, the menu also features Mee Soto Ayam Goreng (S$8.50) and Breaded Prawn Curry Rice (S$6.50).
From now till 31 July 2024, Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang has collaborated with Indomie to launch the Grilled Chicken Ayam Pop Sambal (S$8.90)— an absolute treat for spice lovers. This special limited-period dish will be available at SG Kopitiam and other selected outlets.
Top Wok makes its debut at this coffee shop, offering an assortment of fried rice with normal, mala and XO varieties. This fresh addition stems from Top Seafood, known for its seafood zi char options at 2 outlets located at Sixth Avenue and Bedok.
Take your pick from Luncheon Meat Fried Rice (S$7), Pork Cutlet XO Fried Rice (S$10) and Fish Fillet Mala Fried Rice (S$8).
Fei Ma Hakka Yong Tau Foo is owned by a Perak-born hawker, who used to be a popular CBD favourite at Tanjong Pagar attracting long queues daily during lunch hour. Each piece of yong tau foo goes for S$0.80 per item, with a minimum of 6 pieces.
Choose from noodles options like mee, kway teow and mee tai mak (S$0.80 each). For something more sinful, try it with Laksa Gravy (+S$1).
Carrying on from the former coffee shop, No.25 Minced Meat Noodle dishes out bowls of Signature Minced Meat Noodle (S$9/S$11/S$13), Kway Teow Special (S$9/S$11/S$13) and Handmade Meatball Soup (S$5.50).
Kopi & Toast offers breakfast sets like Kaya Butter Toast Set (S$3.90) and Butter Sugar Crackers (S$3.70), which throws in 2 soft-boiled eggs and a choice of either coffee or tea.
If you’re looking for a snack, they have a range of Old School Waffles like Plain (S$1.70), Blueberry (S$2) and Chocolate (S$2). There’s iced Aiyu Jelly Drinks (S$2), Gula Melaka Kopi (S$2 for hot or iced) and Rose Teh O (S$2 for hot or iced) to quench your thirst, too.
Don’t forget to try 161 Ban Mian for their range of delicious handmade noodles like the Dry You Mian (S$4.50) and the innovative Seafood Mala Sliced Noodles (S$5).
There’s also Ding Shun Economic Bee Hoon as well. If you’re on the hunt for a fresh lunch venue, do swing by SG Kopitiam and give it a go.
