Sneak Peek: M’sian Nanyang Coffee Chain Oriental Kopi’s Upcoming First S’pore Outlet

The coffeehouse is located on the second floor of Bugis Junction, occupying Japanese tendon eatery Kogane Yama’s vacated space.

Frequent Johor Bahru holidaymakers would have spotted Oriental Kopi’s outlets in shopping malls there — the cafes usually have long queues waiting for a table or to buy its house-made egg tarts (incidentally, the chain claims that it holds a Malaysia Book of Records accolade for selling the most number of egg tarts in Malaysia).

What to expect

Oriental Kopi Singapore opens to the public tomorrow (Nov 27). 8days.sg had a sneak peek at the coffeehouse ahead of the opening, and tell you what to expect.

Merch corner

There’s also a merchandise corner where you can bring home food souvenirs like Traditional Kaya ($3.50), Roasted White Coffee Sachets ($7.50 a box), Traditional Pan Mee (from $1.80 a packet) and Cheese Pineapple Tarts ($15.50 a box). 

Food menu

Food-wise, diners can look forward to the same dishes that Oriental Kopi serves in Malaysia, like the Oriental Signature Nasi Lemak ($9.50), Double Butter Kaya Toast ($2.60) and Nanyang Curry Chicken Mee Siam ($10.50).

Egg Tart, ($5.20 for two, $15.60 for six)

There will also be house-made egg tarts “handmade with imported premium French butter”, though we were told that the chefs are still tweaking the recipe to improve on the egg custard’s texture. So manage your expectations when you order this during the opening period.  

Oriental Polo Bun, $4.60

The ‘pineapple’ bolo buns here come in two flavours, original with butter and condensed milk ($4.60) and a honey version ($4.60).

Curry Cheong Fun, $6.80

Savoury appetisers include Curry Cheong Fun with fishballs…

Curry Double Lava Egg Toast, $4.60

And curried soft-boiled egg toast, a Malaysian specialty.

Oriental Mocha, $4.80

The menu offers an extensive beverage selection, including the classic Oriental Kopi ($2 for small-sized hot cuppa) brewed with arabica, liberica and robusta beans, and the photo-worthy overflowing iced Oriental Mocha (pictured above, $4.80). 

Oriental Kopi opens Nov 27 at #02-50 Bugis Junction, 200 Victoria St, S188021. Open daily 10am to 10pm.
