Kedai Kopi: All-Halal Kopitiam To Open In The East With Mala Tang And Pizzas

Kedai Kopi Haig Road

Last year, Kedai Kopi opened its first all-halal kopitiam in Clementi to much success. Muslim-friendly stalls selling everything from fried chicken, “bak chor” mee, to XXL bandung yakult were introduced to diners in the West, and now, it’s time for East siders to get a slice of the pie. Kedai Kopi will be opening their second outlet in Haig Road come mid-June 2021.

Decked with nine different concepts from its West-side counterpart, the kopitiam at Haig Road will also introduce some never-seen-before hawker stalls to the ‘hood.

Most notable is Mala Mama, a mala tang venture by seafood and lobster roll eatery Pince & Pints. This is their first-ever hawker stall, at which fans can expect to find numbingly spicy mala soup, a popular counterpart to everyone’s favourite mala xiang guo.

Crave Nasi Lemak & Teh Tarik will also be opening a stall on the compound, the first time this beloved nasi lemak brand has gone into hawker territory.

Next, the Tenderfresh group, which also co-runs Kedai Kopi, will have a handful of outlets within the compound: Tenderbest, for crispy fried chicken, Mee Bagus, for halal bak chor mee, Hawkerman, for fusion Western food, and Pasta Pizza, for affordable pasta, and made-to-order pizzas.

Get excited by halal zi char too, as a zi char stall known as Rasa Sedap Seafood will be opening in there too, with Muslim-friendly spins on familiar zi char dishes, like Salted Egg Butter Crab.

As we await the opening, tide yourself over by visiting other food gems in the East. Check out our Chef Chik review, for Cantonese zi char in Haig Road, and our Haig Road Market & Food Centre food guide for kolo mee, putu piring, and more.
