Hainanese run Kopitiams, alongside their coffee and cuisine have a strong “foodhold” in one of Singapore’s yummiest neighbourhoods.
kaya toast was great, reminiscence of older times, thick soft bread and nice kaya with butter.
Overall, I find that this concept of offering a variety of Hainanese food in the food court is pretty interesting. It gives the diner a fresh experience and a one-stop-shop to enjoy the food.
To be honest, I hadn’t expected the satay bee hoon to be that good. Sweet and spicy peanut sauce with seafood, pork and noodles seemed like an odd combination to me, but it worked.
If you’re at Bukit Timah Food Centre, remember to visit Fresh Generation for their seafood soup as well!
Food at The Hainan Story is as if the place was a Chinese Hainanese coffee shop, offering heritage dishes under 5 different brands. From classics like Chicken Rice, Hainanese Pork Chop, and Satay, to uncommon favourites like Pumpkin Porridge, English Oxtail Stew, and Salt Baked Chicken, dishes are as authentic and delicious as they come. Served in large individual portions, also suitable for sharing. Prices are comparable to a cafe, budget about SGD $23 per person for a meal here.
