"Perfect half-boiled eggs; the tea and coffee were standard. The kaya toast was disappointing. The butter was completely melted in a puddle at the bottom of the plate, making it a mess to eat, and they didn’t provide napkins.
And they tried to rush us out even before we had finished our drinks! I understand that it was crowded and seating was limited, but we weren’t done yet!
Won’t be going back."
Coffee is not very consistent; sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. Overall, it's just an ordinary place for a Kopi. The food was normal. It used to be the only better place for local Kopi in OTH.
Update: Just had their Laksa and Mee Siam. The taste was so bad and weird. The standard has really dropped a lot. No wonder business isn't as usual.
"Very disappointed with the quality of their drinks. The drinks are heavily diluted and quite bland. I informed the server, and they topped it up with more diluted tea. I hope management can improve the drink quality! It's a pity for such a local brand to not prioritize the quality of their local drinks."
Chanced upon this while my husband and I were looking for brunch. We ordered the toast set and curry laksa, along with teh c and kopi-peng. We were pleasantly surprised that the tea and coffee were "gao" and nice. (We had read some poor reviews.) They didn't taste like plain water, and the curry laksa was flavorful.
However, the tables weren't cleaned. Probably due to a busy Saturday? Price-wise, it's definitely cheaper than those big brands out there.
Perfect half-boiled eggs; the peanut butter toast was decent. The portion for the toast set (toast, two half-boiled eggs, and tea) was just right for me, as I wasn't very hungry in the morning. The macaroni, however, was disappointing. The soup had no flavor and tasted like salted water. Drinks are average. The menu price is net, and the pricing is typical for a stall in an air-conditioned place. It's hard to find a seat during weekend brunch hours, as it's usually full. Plenty of parking is available at Tampines Hub.
Amazingly poor. I ordered beef rendang and received chicken rendang instead. I wasn't thrilled, but the rendang sauce was just layered on top of the steamed chicken! The laksa was bland, too. Nothing great at all, and it wasn't cheap.
The place is supposed to close at 9pm. That's what was listed, and what the staff confirmed. Yet, at 8:10pm, they said the last order time was 8pm.
So, are you saying you need a whole hour to clean up? Or that for a full hour, you don't accept any new customers?
Is this endorsed by management? Please get back to me before I bring this up to CASE and the Tampines Hub management.
Affordable HALAL option that we definitely love.
Old Chang Kee has really upgraded themselves and made us fall in love again. Yes, this Coffee House is by Old Chang Kee (OCK) and it is located just at the entrance of Our Tampines Hub. To be precise, it is at the East Entrance, beside Crave.
There are basically two ordering points at this location. One is the external facade where you buy the takeaway food, similar to those standard OCK stands. The other ordering point is actually inside the store itself. We avoided sitting inside due to the current situation, thus we ordered takeaways.
We ordered the Chicken Rice Balls and the Blue Pea Nasi Lemak thingy. Let's talk about the food first. The menu is rather long and there is a variety of food to choose from, which left us spoilt for choice 😅😅. We'd rate the taste of the food we ordered an 8 out of 10. This is actually not a bad score. But, each to their own, right? 😊😊
The price for the food is still acceptable, and looking at the quantity we had, it is worth it. The portion isn't very, very generous, but it is slightly more than other places. Okay, in terms of location, we would say that this is definitely the best place out of many locations we've been to. Those working around the area can just grab food through the external point and leave within 5 minutes – it is that convenient.
Well, do check it out and judge for yourself. For us, we really are glad that OCK is located in OTH 😊😊
Cheers!
The food is tasty, and the staff are very friendly. Prices are a bit above market prices for similar items, but that's understandable given the air-conditioned setting. The only reason it didn't get five stars from me is the cleanliness of the utensils.
