Dessert Comes First

One place that we do all like to eat eggs at however, is at Kopi Roti. It's similar to the kopi tiams, coffee shops scattered all over Singapore, where locals get their caffeine fix and talk shop. Because I grew up speaking Bahasa Indonesia, which is similar to Malay, the term Kopi Roti is very familiar to me: kopi is coffee and roti is bread. And that's exactly what you get at Kopi Roti. While not an extensive menu by any stretch of the imagination, what you'll find here is representative of what's served at Malay coffee shops, quite different from the more recognizable Western counterparts. True to its name, there are breads, coffees, and teas, either separate or in sets.

I'm not sure why they are promoting Kopi bun instead of the Kaya Toast. Actually, this is equally good. I like the crispy coffee crust on the outside and the inside is filled with a hollow opening filled with Kaya (it taste like it). The best part is, you can dip the big chunk of the kopi bun in the hot kopi with the condensed milk. The bun will absorb a good amount o the Kop like a sponge so that you have enough time to put the kopi bun to your mouth before it drips. This is a lot lot better than the Starbucks coffee experience if you ask me.

The price of coffee is about 40% less than Starbucks and the quality is comparable. But what I really liked about Kopi Roti is the unpretentiousness of its beverages. Not fancy like Starbucks which is 70% looks and presentation. Kopi Roti seems to operate on the principe that you don't have to scream to be noticed. With all the coffee shops around- and they have mushroomed during the past couple of years-Kopi Roti has not ridden on the Starbucks formula. Which is good, as far as I am concerned. It maintains its individuality and its unique appeal.
