FoodWe were not contented with the cups of beverage that we had over breakfast in Amoy Street and decided to visit Nanyang Old Coffee for our coffee/tea fix, at the same time introducing the traditional coffee of Singapore to my foreign friend! 2 cups of Kopi O, 1 cup of Teh C and 1 cup of Kopi costs S$5.10 in total. Kopi O , S$1.20/S$1.30 (Big/Small) is thick and rich in taste with packed with strong coffee aroma. Kopi, coffee with condensed milk, S$1.30 / S$1.40 (big/small) is so tailored mad

Likewise for Teh C, S$1.40/S$1.50 (Big/Small), taste of the tea is rich with slight flavor of evaporated & condensed milk!
My friend was telling me the traditional way of drinking coffee is bypouring the coffee onto the dish and sip them while they are hot. This method of drinking is better and easier to drink via the traditional cup as it cools down the pipping hot coffee.
ServiceWe hang around in the shop quite often and notice the changes of staff. The friendly and joyful lady was longer working there and the atmosphere was totally different. Relationship between cashier and customers (us) are just solely customer and customers and not as entertaining and friendly anymore.
Menu was placed on the table and once we are ready, we can order and pay over the counter and wait for the beverages to be served.
AmbiencePainted with red and brown furnishing, NAnyang old Coffee has a rustic looking ambience with olden days kind of wooden tools and tables, a total reminiscent of the era during our grandparents.
As we are seated towards the end of the dining area, the coffee museum which was just beside us had drawn my attention. It was an eye-opener and I get to see things from my childhood days.
PricePrice is relatively up the the market standard, considering the location and reputation of the Stall's traditional naming "Nanyang old Coffee".
Recommendation / Tips
Do visit the museum in the shop!
