The Oliang, a Thai iced coffee, steals the show with its bold, creamy depth. Overall, reviewers find this spot a warm, nostalgic hideaway for simple, soulful bites.
“This is a Thai iced coffee brewed through a cloth filter — not an actual stocking, but a cheap reusable cloth that's perfect for brewing large batches. It's ideal for Oliang, the dark roasted Thai iced coffee blend. And it's hella cool how they do it.”

Kai Look Koei (Soft-Boiled Egg)
This is a shot of soft-boiled egg — he warms the glass first, then cracks in a perfectly runny 6-minute egg, making sure to scrape all the jelly whites stuck on the shell, then seasons with a nudge of white pepper and a touch of light soy. It's runny, warm, silky, and yolky — perfect. The place we went to in Singapore was a little overcooked, it looked like two nipples, but this is exactly how I want my eggs.
