A tiny, bustling counter in Borough Market channeling the spirit of a Singaporean kopitiam with plastic plates, open-air seating, and high-octane street food.
Ordering Strategy
Seating is limited to about 14 counter stools, so go solo or in a pair. Order at the counter, and don't skip the Kaya Toast even if you're full.
What to order
Hainanese Chicken Rice
Regarded as the 'set piece' of the menu, this 'sneakily bewitching' dish is praised for its 'magical qualities' and 'life-changing flavour' where ginger and pandan penetrate 'every succulent atom'.
Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken
A 'showstopping' meal featuring sweet coconut rice and fried chicken that is 'decisively spiced' with a crunch and 'yielding snag' that is 'diabolically effective'.
Kaya Toast
Described as 'flat-out, howl-at-the-moon filthy good,' this staple features 'beautifully caramelised, drippy coconut jam' and a 'hefty tile of cold, thick-cut butter'.
Fried Carrot Cake
A 'racy, bubble and squeak-like heap' of flash-fried egg batter and mooli (white carrot) that is 'electrified by masses of coriander'.

Good to know
The seating is under a railway arch roof but essentially outdoors, so dress warmly in winter. It operates on a queue-and-pay-first system.
