Terrible experience at this outlet. Was in the queue at around 2300hr waiting for our flight. Whilst about 3 persons to my turn the auntie that was serving the customers just went off duty without telling anyone. Another delivery guy came …

Ordered the gula melaka toast. Egg was overcooked becos it was popped in the microwave. The replacement egg was alright but cold. Toast bread had very hard sections. Overall it’s not good experience. The guy whom I approached asked me to throw away the overcooked egg myself rather than apologise and take it from me.

I just want to say Kudos to Kelvin who was mending the stall at 5am solo and doing such a fantastic job. The Q was long but he was working so efficiently that I didnt mind the wait because I knew he wasn't wasting 1 min. Truly remarkable to keep going at that speed for so long! The chee kuthu was below average.

Craving for kaya toast and kopi after a one week trip overseas and stopped by this outlet before exiting immigration. Love their kaya toast which has thick slab of butter which pairs well with their gula melaka kaya. The eggs were cooked just nice. Kopi C was also strong and robust!
