Killiney Kopitiam Newton

I did a Unilocal for coffee and tea. Bingo! Across the street from our hotel. Located in an office building across the street from the Sheraton Towers Singapore hotel. The official address is on Anthony Street but the coffee shop faces Scotts Road. We did a huge loop to access it, but later left through the gate on Scotts.
Typical Singaporean fare. And much more affordable than eating at our hotel for breakfast. We ordered in the line «non staff». Paid and sat down with our number. Picked up our kopi (coffee). I wondered if they serve kopi in the plastic bag for takeaways but they don’t. They use a plastic handle like the top of a shopping bag to carry the coffee cup. No coffee cup sleeves found in Singapore.
Hubby had the curry chicken with rice. I got the chee cheong fun. Very hot and soft.
We left content and smug.

As with any other Killiney Kopitiam, this outlet specializes in kaya toast, soft boiled eggs and coffee, plus a bit more. You can actually upsize the kopi (coffee) and teh (tea) if you need more caffeine fix.
This outlet caters to the office workers toiling away in the Newton area so there are more options to the breakfast fare, as well as for lunch. Don’t be intimidated by the locked gate, just press the buzzer and security will let you in. Gates are usually wide opened in the early morning and lunch time.
Breakfast:
Kaya toast, otah toast (just otah sandwiched between 2 pieced of toasted bread), butter toast, butter sugar toast or whatever you fancy. I have seen others ordered luncheon meat toast (not on menu).
Fried beehoon is usually available, if not, it will be fried noodles. Toppings include fried egg, otah, luncheon meat and fishcake.
Chee cheong fun (rice rolls) is also a standard fare, as are mee siam and mee rebus. On various days, there will be kway teow soup, prawn noodles soup, century egg congee, lontong, laksa, fish meat bee hoon and yam cake.
There are also sandwiches, curry puffs, swiss roll cakes, custard puffs, nonya kueh, soon kueh, rice cake… in the morning.
Lunch dishes are more hearty and come early as it can get very busy from 1215pm to 130pm. There are daily specials on rotation so you never know what is available — Hainanese pork chop, curry pork chop chap chye rice, sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour pork, fish and chips, yong tau foo (ampang style). Other items on the menu will be the perennial favorite of curry chicken with either rice or bread, lor mee, penang fried kway teow, mee goreng, hor fun, belachan fried rice, salted fish fried rice…
It is just a convenient place for food hence the variety. That also means it will never induce a «wow» moment unless you order their specialty of kaya toast or the chicken curry.
It can be quite a nice place for coffee, especially if you sit outside, next to the reflection pool or trees, after the breakfast or lunch rush hour.
