MANILA, Philippines — Traditional kopi tiams, or coffee shops, are common in countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and even Southern Thailand, but there are only few and far between in our local shores.
So where do you go when you’re hankering for fresh brews and authentic Asian fare?
There’s no better place to experience the distinct kopi tiam culture where East meets West than in Nanyang.
Introduce your taste buds to classic Singaporean fare like Kaya toast, which features custard made of coconut milk, egg and sugar commonly known as coconut jam.
The restaurant has a variety of both traditional and thick toasts with the brand’s own selection of Kayamila flavors that include Original, Sea Salt Caramel, Vanilla Pandan and Calamansi Citrus.
Then get your caffeine fix with either the brewed coffee made from Arabica and Robusta beans from Singapore, or the freshly made tea that uses the traditional tarik or “pulling” method that you can enjoy hot or cold.
Choose from menu items such as Hainanese chicken rice, laksa, homemade nasi lemak and fish ball noodle soup, among others.
Next time you’re looking for a quick meal or a coffee run, make your way to Nanyang and treat yourself to kopi, teh and real Singaporean-style cuisine.
