Oriental Kopi To Open At NEX In June 2025 With Famous Nasi Lemak And More

Oriental Kopi will open at NEX in Serangoon soon

There’s plenty of good food in Serangoon. Soon, you can expect another exciting addition to the neighbourhood: Oriental Kopi, which is slated to launch at NEX Serangoon in June 2025.

While there’s no official announcement on the launch, eager netizens have been quick to spot the chain’s hoarding. According to a photo submitted by a user to the Singapore Atrium Sale Facebook page, the hoarding is located a few units after Din Tai Fung, which means it’s on Basement 1 of the mall.

Those who frequent Johor Bahru (JB) will be familiar with Oriental Kopi, a popular chain that often sports long lines.

The Malaysian chain first set up shop in Singapore last 2024, at Bugis Junction. This upcoming NEX outlet will mark their second outlet here.

Fans return for their Oriental Signature Nasi Lemak ($9.50++): featuring fried chicken, an egg, steamed rice, a dollop of sambal sauce, crispy ikan bilis, fried peanuts, and sliced cucumbers. The coconut rice is said to be fragrant with pandan notes, while the chicken is crispy outside and tender within.

When we visited their Bugis Junction restaurant last year, we also tried the Penang Char Kuey Teow ($7.50++), which was unfortunately lacking in wok hei.

The Double Butter Kaya Toast ($2.60++) fared better. This snack comprised two crispy toasts layered with Hainanese kaya and not one, but two slabs of cold butter for extra richness.
