If you’re looking for a new place to get your daily caffeine fix, check out Nanyang Kopi Kia Claypot Coffee, a new stall at Alexandra Village Food Centre that offers Singapore’s first claypot coffee!
The concept of claypot coffee is said to have originated in Malaysia. Storing the kopi in claypot kettles helps to retain the coffee’s temperature and aroma, which gives it a more robust flavour upon serving. Nanyang Kopi Kia Claypot Coffee imports their coffee beans from Malaysia, and all their drinks are brewed in-house daily.
The most popular item on their menu is their Kopi ($1.80). It boasts a well-balanced sweetness and slight acidity, with prominent roasted notes that come from the beans. It also comes with a creamy foam on top, adding a layer of smoothness to the drink. If you prefer a less sweet option, you can opt for siu dai. Otherwise, their Kopi C ($1.80) and Kopi O ($1.70) are equally popular too.Â
For a refreshing alternative, try their Signature Ice Kopi ($3.50). This drink boasts a good coffee-to-ice ratio, with a mellow sweetness accompanied by roasted notes.
They also offer Teh ($1.80), which is said to be aromatic with a smooth and milky consistency. Similar to kopi, you can get their Teh C ($1.80) or Teh O ($1.70) if you prefer your tea to be on the lighter side.
If you’re torn between kopi and teh, the Yuan Yang ($2) is a flavourful blend of both.
If you’re here for breakfast, we recommend getting their Kaya Butter Toast ($2.50) or Half Boiled Eggs ($1.50) to complement your kopi or teh.Â
