What bugged me most was the inconsistent service - showing preferential treatment to what I assume are regulars, & a really bad bad attitude to others.
There isn't a proper distribution system for the eggs either - when I was told to wait for my eggs, I did, but then I noticed portions being taken away by other customers that ordered after me.
Oh, & as you can see, the eggs yolks are pretty cooked (I prefer mine actually runny).
This made for an unpleasant breakfast to start the weekend with. Not keen to return.
I don't recall having such an unpleasant experience the last time I was here, but that was 7 years ago so perhaps things have changed.
Coffee is good; Kaya Toast is ordinary with the bread really soft (I prefer mine toasty & crispy) so IMHO it's not worth trying.

Traditional charcoal-grilled kaya butter toast set that comes with soft-boiled eggs and Nanyang coffee in a nostalgic and old-school coffee shop.
I love the atmosphere here where it feels like I'm being teleported back to the 1980s with marble tables and a very old-school setting that is pretty hard to find these days. Toasts were the fluffy (not crispy) type with butter and not too sweet kaya. The eggs were huge and done to perfection. The service is a little slow but understandable with a very old uncle managing everything on his own. Overall itβs worth the experience if you are nearby and donβt mind the long wait γ$5.20 (incl Milo)

Both toast sets with kopi by the side and soft boiled eggs. Beyond the very nostalgic atmosphere people talk about - the old, (rather stuffy) coffeeshop here surprised me with its soft and fluffy toast. While the butter sugar was just decent, the kaya butter combination worked much better in my favour, with the sweet kaya lathered on the white toast and topped with a slice of almost, melted, salted butter. The eggs that came with the set were also beautifully done (not pictured), and the coffee was also rich and strong.

Above average toasts and above average eggs but might not wait 1h again for it π¬
