Back at Oriental Kopi because we enjoyed it the last time and couldn't believe the shit talking that can be found online about the quality of their food. While we admit that they might not the best at everything they serve, the standards of the food here was far from mediocrity. We're here to convince ourselves that those negative reviews were lies. 😅 At least for this branch. 😏
Mocha's coffee and Milo. Sea salt kopi tasted like it had butterscotch in it.
Thought their kampung mee hoon was enjoyable. The stir fried noodles was savoury and adequately salted with an old school-ish flavour. Ayam berempah thigh was tender, clad in a crispy skin that was deeply infused with turmeric.
Chicken rice was pretty darn good too. Poached bird was tender, chicken-y and meaty while the rice had a respectable infusion of chicken rice flavour that had a hint of ginger which I did not even mind. 👍🏼 On the side was a bowl of pandan flavoured chicken broth. Nice lime-y chilli too. Wouldn't mind eating this again.
Curry chee cheong fun not bad. What's unusual was the creamy spiciness from the curry that was paired with sweetness from the drizzle of rojak sauce. There're also fishballs and fish paste in beancurd skin hidden amongst the curry and rice rolls.
A couple of egg tarts to end because we were told that people wait in line for them. Not bad tasting and we liked that the custard was not excessively sweet. Pastry was more buttery than the pain suise from Doña Bakehouse.
