If it’s good enough for The Malaysia Book of Records, it’s good enough for us. Believe the hype and brave the queue for Oriental Kopi’s egg tart, acclaimed as the “thickest” and “most sold” in the country: all 128 layers making up a 6mm crust with a caramelised golden egg filling. Aside, classics such as kaya and butter toast and polo bun (this, too, is the “most number of polo buns sold” per The Malaysia Book of Records) served with a big slab of butter and a drizzle of condensed milk are favourites throughout the day, as are nasi lemak fringed with cucumber slices, sambal, roasted peanuts and ikan bilis, plus a crispy fried chicken. Also on the menu: Hainanese chicken rice, hor fun, mee siam, and more.
If you only order one drink, make it a cup of strong Oriental Kopi — or try the Kopi Butter, which is exactly as it sounds: a slab of melt-in-your-mouth butter is added to a cup of Oriental Kopi, resulting in creamy, silky sips.
