The cafe offers a variety of nasi lemak, though one in particular stands out: the Heartland Pork Belly Berempah ($14.90). Like ayam goreng berempah, the pork belly here is spiced and fried for a crispy finish. The plate also comes with the usual nasi lemak elements—coconut rice, roasted peanuts, ikan bilis, and a sunny-side-up egg—though interestingly, it also includes calamari.

They’ve also got Nanyang-style toasts and sandwiches, such as the classic Traditional Kaya Butter Toast ($2.90), Heartland Peanut Butter Toast ($2.90), Luncheon Meat Omelette Sandwich ($6.90) and more. For the perfect breakfast combo, be sure to add on the Soft Boiled Eggs ($2.50), which you can dip your toast into!
