Located near Pinnacle @ Duxton, tucked away in shophouses in between Chinatown & Tanjong Pagar, this coffee shop sees itself in prime location for an eatery. With chic restaurants in the district, Keong Saik Road has earned it name for itself for being a hotspot for great food and ambience for those seeking an eclectic mix of the vintage and the modern.This coffeeshop is nothing to look at -there are rectangular calligraphy writings on the wall (their menu haha).

We ordered a variety of dishes to try -Bittergourd with Braised Pork ($13), Claypot Yong Tau Foo ($13), Sambal Kang Kong ($8), Cereal Fried Squid ($11), steamed white rice and homemade barley.
Other must tries would include their Chicken in Sambal (this sambal is boasted to be different from the one used in the kang kong and all sambals are homemade!) as well as Crab. We suggest that you start with the Claypot Yong Tau Foo and the Pork rib Bittergourd. These really impressed us.
While the food was undeniably delicious, tasty and gave good value, we were dismayed at the oiliness of it all!! Every plate left a pool of oil, and the oil can be seen when the dishes are set on your rice. Nevertheless, if you don't freak out over a bit of oil, all the dishes here are well worth your time and calories. The total bill came up to slightly below $50 for 4 dishes, 3 bowls of rice and 3 drinks. Fantastic!
P.s. The barley was a bit thick and sweet for my liking, it'd be best to have it with ice so that the ice can dilute it!
