The whole gang’s here – eggs, bread and kopi! Are you team kopi-o or team kopi?

Will it be a freshly brewed cappuccino, or an aromatic kopi-o? Get your caffeine fix at Hudsons Coffee, an Australian chain known for 100% premium Arabica bean coffee concoctions. Or, have your kopi with a side of soft-boiled eggs and toast at the ever nostalgic Kedai Killiney Kopi. This heritage chain had its humble beginnings as a coffee shop along Killiney Road, and is now one of Singapore’s best known kopi spots.

If you’re looking for spicy local delights, Curry Times won’t disappoint with their succulent chicken simmered to perfection in a rich curry broth.
