Oriental Kopi is opening a second outlet in Singapore at Nex this month
If you're not impressed by the long queues at the Oriental Kopi store in Bugis Junction, you can now try your luck at its new outlet, which is set to open in Nex on June 11. This will be Singapore's second Oriental Kopi after the brand debuted its first store in Bugis last November.
The famed Malaysian kopitiam chain is known to command snaking lines, with many Singaporeans crossing the causeway to try its polo buns, Portuguese egg tarts, toasts, and coffee. With the new store, folks who stay in Serangoon and the heartlands need not make the trip down to Bugis anymore for a taste of the café's Nanyang cuisine.
Prices at Nex should be similar, if not identical, to what's listed on the Bugis menu. The chain's signature Oriental kopi goes for $2 – and is a special blend of Arabica, Robusta, and Liberica. The polo buns, which come with butter and condensed milk, are $4.60 each at Bugis. And the egg tarts are $5.20 for two pieces and $15.60 for six.
You can also expect the café to serve a range of breakfast toasts, including the traditional kaya butter toast ($2.60) and curry double lava egg toast ($4.60), among others. And if you've worked up an appetite, then Oriental Kopi's wallet-friendly Nanyang dishes – from nasi lemak ($9.50) to Penang char kway teow ($7.50) and prawn mee ($9.50) – should fill you up.
Apart from food, Oriental Kopi is also known for its packet traditional pan mee, which comes with sachets of its signature sauce, anchovies, and fried onions, making for a quick and easy meal to whip up at home.
Oriental Kopi's second outlet will open on June 11 at 23 Serangoon Central, Nex, #B1-15, Singapore 556083.
