A kopitiam is a Malaysian old-style coffee shop. The standard order is toast with butter and kaya coconut jam, soft-boiled eggs you season with soy and pepper and spoon out, and strong kopi with condensed milk. This one is clean and bright and also serves meals like nasi lemak, so there's a queue from breakfast. There's a digital waitlist and plenty of seats, so the line moves faster than it looks. Ideal as breakfast before exploring Chinatown.
