Old Chang Kee Coffee House (REX)

+$3.90 for 1 drink & snack

Old chang kee was originally started out in the 1950s as Rex curry puff along this same locality.

The Signature Curry Chicken is one of their signature dish here. You can have it with bun or prata, all same price at $8.90.

Curry was thick and flavourful with an unexpected spicy kick.

Chicken was ok. Seems like it's just 1 drumstick cut into a few pieces.

Crispy flakky pastry with filling Hae Bee Hiam (dried prawn sambal chilli), chicken and rempah blend of spices. The golden pastry signifies a Happy (Hae Bee) and Prosperous Lunar New Year.
💰$2.00/pc or $3.6 for 2 pcs.
📍Old Chang Kee stores.

Old school ambience with modern air-conditioned comforts. The shop is decorated with old photos of when the company first started. Very nostalgic.

The menu is presented in a plastic file. There's a order sheet and pencil inside. You decide on your choices and self order at the cashier. There's also a counter of their usual friend favourites that you can buy and eat together with the dishes.

The bread with curry chicken is a pleasant surprise. It was served with extra curry for dipping the bread or if you want, just to slurp it. The bread reminds me of the 933 curry chicken in a bun. But bread seems 'designed' for the curry. Its soaks up the curry well and is able to hold on to that gravy without melting into a gloopy mess. The chicken is soft and falls away from the bone. This dish is very addictive. You can easily overdose on curry if you are not careful.

The laksa was presented in single portion size. There's this huge laksa leaf as a garnish. The gravy is not too rich, which helps you avoid getting sick of it. The shrimps are probably frozen ones. It's a well balanced dish with no single aspect being outstanding.

The service is prompt and unobtrusive. This will be a good place to hold small team meetings. You can order drinks and some finger food.

Got my free unicorn/ rainbow coloured chicken curry puff thanks to Old Chang Kee and SPH rewards. I guess one can’t say no to the bright and cheery colours of a rainbow pastry puff.

Old Chang Kee return to where they begin, located just opposite the former Rex Cinema. This Old Chang Kee unlike the rest of their stalls, you can find dining tables here with WIFI.

Their Nasi Lemak portion was really generous that it took awhile for me to finish. $11.90

The bread is soft, the chicken curry isnt too flavourful. They have quite an extensive menu with lots of options. Will go back only for the food.
Had a bad experience with one of the staff who served us coffee chendol when we ordered normal chendol. Asked her serveral times to confirm and she insisted the item served was correct. Shortly after, she served chendol to our table again. When confronted, she then said the one served previously was not mine, and since i have already ate the it i should pay for both! Which of course i refused.
