Ah Seng (Hai Nam) Coffee – A Taste of Tradition

If you’re craving a comforting, old-school Singaporean breakfast, Ah Seng (Hai Nam) Coffee is a name you need to know. Tucked within the buzzing Amoy Street Food Centre, this no-frills coffee stall has been serving up authentic Hainanese kopi and toast sets for generations. It’s a true throwback to simpler times—where breakfast wasn’t just about food, but about the warmth of familiarity.

What’s on the Menu

Ah Seng’s menu sticks to the classics—and that’s exactly why it’s loved.

• Traditional Hainanese Kopi & Teh: Brewed strong and full-bodied using a sock filter, their kopi (coffee) and teh (tea) are rich, aromatic, and served just the way locals like it—piping hot in white-and-green ceramic cups. You can choose from options like Kopi-O, Kopi-C, or Teh-C, with the level of sweetness and milk to your preference.
• Kaya Toast: Their toast is crisp on the outside, soft inside, and generously layered with house-made kaya (a coconut egg jam) and a slab of cold butter. It melts beautifully, offering a delightful contrast of textures and flavors.
• Soft-Boiled Eggs: No traditional breakfast is complete without two perfectly cooked soft-boiled eggs, seasoned with a dash of dark soy sauce and white pepper.

Everything is served fast, fresh, and full of old-school charm. Despite the modern world speeding ahead, Ah Seng keeps it simple—and delicious.
