This little cosy cafe can be a little hard to find, which is probably why it's a well-kept secret. Aside from the usual fare of chicken rice and roast pork rice, they serve very tasty home-cooked meals at affordable prices. Because there are only a few tables, it is never really crowded and noisy, and has the feeling of a large family gathering at home.
Staff
The service staff are warm and friendly and very helpful. Their intimate knowledge of the menu, coupled with their interest in catering to the tastes of their customers makes it a very warm experience indeed. When we enquired about the sotong dish, they were nice enough to point out that it might be a tad chewy for Dad and Mum (it actually wasn't).
Menu
All the dishes are delish, not too sweet and not too oily. Very flavourful and tasty.
Assam Fish Head ($20) generous huge portion of fish in a tantalising tangy sauce with pineapple, ladies fingers and brinjal. Spicy but mmm so nice!
Claypot Wine Chicken ($12) despite its dark colour, the chicken was surprisingly tasty with a nice aroma
Special-made Beancurd with Lingzhi Mushroom ($10) home-made beancurd was so soft and silky. Good texture contrast to the lingzhi mushroom sauce.
Deepfried Cream Sotong ($10) deepfried pieces of sotong with a light hint (not over-powering) of cream (奶油). Wasn't as chewy as they warned and our parents enjoyed it. Still, could have cut into smaller pieces for easier handling.
Finish off with their specialty drinks: peach tea, barley or buckwheat tea. Perfect ending to a lovely meal.

Choose from a selection of main courses:
Dory, Tempura Fish & Fries, Teriyaki Ground Beef, Spicy Chicken, Swiss Chicken Lunch ($17.99)
Salmon Lunch ($18.49)
Steak Lunch ($18.99)
Or just opt for the Soup and Salad Bar ($14.99), which is more than filling.
All main courses come with the Soup Bar (2-3 choices of soup, must have two bowls of the mushroom soup with lots of chunky bits!), all you can eat fruit & vegetable salad bar, do-it-yourself Tacos and Spaghetti (or Singapore Noodles) and the do-it-yourself, eat-until-fat ice-cream and yogurt bar with assorted toppings. The lunch also includes a glass of complimentary softdrink.
For our family of four, we order one main course and three salads which provides us with the wonderful salad bar, and just enough meat to share among four people. They also serve the most delicious crunchy slice of cheese toast which is great!

Unusual, tasty, convenient version of a popiah/burrito/bakchang, this handy-sized rice wrap tastes really good when you eat it while it's still hot.
We usually pick one up when we exit from the MRT station and finish it by the time we reach the first level. Also a good size to smuggle into GV cinemas! haha
At the price of $3.90, might be a little pricey, so eat only once in a while lor ...

It is small and cosy, like a ramen shop in Japan. Watch your step as you enter, as the is a flight of stairs leading down. As usual, the staff are warm and friendly and greet you politely. Be warned that space is at premium here and tables are placed quite close to each other. Your next table neighbours will probably be listening in to you conversation. But that's also the charm of an authentic Japanese ramen bar!
The menu is quite standard and a bowl of ramen costs about $10 and up. A set meal of ramen, ala carte appetiser and glass of green tea is about $13. Very satisfying!
For the adventurous, you may choose a higher chilli level and feel your stomach burn!

You can choose a seat next to the huge windows over looking the Singapore River and Clarke Quay. Then you can watch other people (with bigger budgets) having dinner at nice (and expensive) dining outlets.
The view is really spectacular considering what you are paying for the food at Kopitiam. You can watch the occasional boatload of tourists snapping away at Clarke Quay. flashes going off all the time. Or watch the stomach-churning Reverse Bungy and cries of terror.
There isn't a very large selection of food at this outlet, but all the stallholders are very friendly and chatty. Hokkien Mee, Yong Tau Fu and Thai food are my fave choices at this outlet.
I tend to avoid the drinks and dessert stall cos the stallholders are not very professional or courteous. I prefer to head downstairs to Yakun, Starbucks or Burger King for my after-dinner drinks.
