Oriental Kopi

Oriental Chicken Hor Fun
($9.90) nice plain prawn broth but quite filling. but then they really give just nice serving.

Oriental Polo Bun (Double Butter)
($4.60) quite crispy filling for polo bun but then ask less butter.

Teh Cincau Ice
($4.20) hmmm quite sweet aftertaste but interesting milk tea with cincau (grass jelly).

quite smooth and oily aftertaste but quite popular in jb and sg outlets.

Another delicious snack was the Oriental Honey Polo Bun ($4.60). Served with two sinful slabs of cold butter and honey. A little bready for me but the golden crusty exterior was fun to eat and relatively light on a whole. The pairing with the firm butter and drizzles of honey on the bun really hits the spot too.

As for the award-winning Oriental Egg Tart ($5.20/ 2pcs), it check all the boxes with its immensely buttery aroma, the soft-flakey warm Portuguese-style crust, none-too-sweet egg custard and overall generous pastry-to-filling ratio. However, I am not too fond of the lush custard texture and the general thickness of the egg.

I am not sure how Singapore’s outlet matches up to the ones in Malaysia as I have not tried Oriental Kopi before, but signature items from the coffeehouse were more than lovely and right up my alley.

Located on the second floor of Bugis Junction, the snaking line serves as quite the deterrence as I passed the popular store a few times and simply gave up. So I am glad I finally got to join a manageable queue on a late Friday afternoon.

One of the must-orders, in my opinion, is their kaya toast! Wedged with thick slabs of savoury butter, the crispy well-toasted sliced bread was surprisingly fluffy and thankfully not too dry. The homemade kaya was also very fragrant. So shiok with the indulgent butter and wonderfully satisfying to bite into!

Oh and as for the drinks, my dad liked the Hot Kopi Butter ($2.50) and I enjoyed my order of Iced Teh Cincau ($4.20)~
