When it comes to coffee, Malaysia is in a league of its own, serving up unique blends that are perfect for kickstarting your day or giving you that much-needed afternoon pick-me-up. The coffee culture there is so rich and captivating that it has crossed borders and found fans here in Singapore.

If you’ve been craving a taste of authentic Malaysian coffee, here’s some exciting news: Choon Kee Hainanese Coffee, the iconic brand known for its legendary Barley Kopi Teh, has finally set up its first-ever pop-up in Singapore—but only for a limited time! This beloved coffee chain has been drawing long queues in Malaysia for years, and now you can experience it without crossing borders.

Choon Kee Hainanese Coffee Pops Up in Singapore

With nearly 70 years of history, it’s no surprise that Choon Kee Hainanese Coffee has achieved cult status. Originating from Taiping, Perak, this brand has built a solid reputation for crafting unique, high-quality beverages that keep people coming back for more. That’s why the lines are always long—everyone wants a taste of what makes Choon Kee so special.

Founded in 1955 as a humble roadside stall, Choon Kee has since become a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists. Now, Singaporeans can finally enjoy their signature drinks at the Great Nanyang Heritage Café in 111 Somerset, from August 23 to September 2. Don’t miss out on their famous Barley Kopi Teh (S$6.80), Barley Kopi Kaw (S$5.80), and Barley Teh Superb (S$5.80)—all guaranteed to satisfy your coffee cravings.

Not a coffee person? No worries! Choon Kee has you covered with their Haikou Breeze, priced at S$6.80. This zesty, non-alcoholic drink is inspired by mojitos and features a refreshing blend of lemon, sea salt, and Yakult—think of it as a more sophisticated version of Himalayan Salt Candy.

The pop-up also offers the Choon Kee Special Series, including unique combos like black tea and coffee (S$5.80) and the KTM, a delightful mix of kopi, teh, and Milo (S$6.80). Pair these with Great Nanyang’s traditional kaya and butter toast or their signature curry chicken, and you’re in for the ultimate kopitiam experience.

Don’t miss out on this rare chance to indulge in authentic Malaysian flavors right here in Singapore. Visit the Great Nanyang Heritage Café at 111 Somerset Road from 11 am to 8:30 pm, and make your day a little brighter with a taste of Choon Kee’s legendary brews!
