Kopitiam

Came here for breakfast and ordered the Nasi Lemak, as well as the Kopitiam Sunshine drink. The nasi lemak was delicious and a dish that was truly new to me. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the anchovies provided a nice smoky, salty flavor and some nice texture to the dish. Paired with the spicy sambal sauce, it was a very nicely balanced bowl. The boiled egg was good as well, although the egg does come cold which I don’t love. Overall though, very tasty dish and very filling. The drink was also pretty outstanding. It was very fresh, and super refreshing. It was the perfect amount of sweet, tangy, and citrusy. The downsides are that they only accepted cash, Venmo, or Zelle which I found inconvenient, and the sinks outside the restroom are in pretty rough shape. You are also expected to

My original plan was to eat at another Malaysian spot... and I should HAVE stuck with my plans. I was surprised by the amount of people eating here... figured it must ve good... it's a tiny, hole-in-wall vibe, with a few tables and a communal table... some single seaters by window. You scan a QR code, order your food at counter, pay with Cash, Venmo or Zelle (only). No cards. We got the Hainanese Chicken, Curry Chicken, and Kaya Toast, with an ice Milktea. Total about $56. Food: solid 2. -Hainanese Chicken (-10), it was horrible, dried... not what we expected. If the best part of this dish is the cilantro & cucumber, it's a fail. -Curry Chicken (4/10), it's decent... but wouldn't get again. Curry lacks spice... chicken was again dry. It's a recurring theme. -Kaya Toast (8/10), probabl

It was our first time here, and overall, it was a pretty good experience. We came as a group of five and were lucky to find a table. The place is mostly self-service—you order at the counter, they bring the food out when it’s ready, and you clean up after yourself when you’re done. We tried the Char Kway Teow and Nasi Lemak as part of the “I don’t know what to order” set, and both were tasty. The crispy duck tongue was flavorful and enjoyable if you’re into that sort of dish, though it’s a bit pricey for just a few pieces. The oyster noodles were slightly too fishy for my taste, but still decent overall. All in all, it was a good experience. If you’re in the area, it’s worth stopping by for a bite.

Very nice food and Asian food fix for me. Amazing place with Asian atmosphere. If you ever miss Malaysian food during your stay in NYC, this is definitely a must-try and must-go place. A few of the must-try dishes are as attached on my pictures. A picture painted a thousand words. Judge for yourself when you are here

Hainanese chicken rice: idk what magic they work on the sauce (perilla/sesame oil?) but it was pure aromatic goodness. Had me smothering it on the chicken every chance I could get. The milder tasting rice balls also paired perfectly with the chicken, with bits of scorched rice that added to the texture. Pandan butter toast: simple yet unbeatable combo. The pandan scent really comes thru The place was kinda chilly and my friends and I were sitting at the big table near the door, so I thought I was gonna freeze to death, but that would’ve been a great last supper😇
