“ Somewhere out there in the world .. that's the feeling one get at Kim Keat Coffee shop. The roti prata is one we ate from the time they were ar Potong Pasir. Today, I was attracted by the roast duck. The stall holder roasted the duck, char siew and pork roast all in The big Chinese "oven" at the back of his stall. To me.... That spells quality It is yummy! ”
“ There’s a Malay stall located at the corner of the shop. She is very friendly and generous with what she gives. She is obviously here to feed people and not earn money. Easily outside, a pack of nasi lemak like this will probably be $6-$7. But here, she charges only $2.50 and gave me an additional hotdog, the orange kueh thingy. Food is not bad either!! ”
“ A modest kopitiam in the area. I like the design. Good day light, clean and airy. Good food choices as well. Tried a stall named Mafia Manz. THe owner of the stall looks intimating but turns out he is super friendly and nice. Ate the koko mee and it tasted homely. ”
“ Western Stall: $3.50 for a delicious Cheese Beef Burger. It's value for money and amazing, if only they offered double Cheese Beef Burger. Also, the Chicken Wings were fried to perfection. Will definitely be back for more. Maybe I'll get two burgers the next time. ”
“ Dropped by for a coffee break after it reopened since the fire. Very spacious and brightly lit, a vast improvement versus what it was previously where it wasn’t at all inviting. coffee wasn’t great, although the service is (by the uncle) - 2.5 ⭐ Will definitely be back to try out the food stalls in future! ”
“ Came here for supper today. Nothing much to eat late night other than 2 food stalls and drink. Halfway eating saw a big fat rat ran out from a food stalls! ”
“ ???? Decades ago, since 1970, this area where Kim Keat Food and Drinks Centre currently is used to be a former market square ( ie the old hawker centre + old wet market). ???? That old former wet market was torn down in around late 1999, to make way for a new multi-storey carpark complex. That was under the main upgrading programme of our Toa Payoh East area. ???? Subsquently, the new Multi-Storey Carpark was built on the grounds of the former wet market in around 2002. ???? And not long afterwards, Kim Keat Food And Drinks Centre was established. ???? In early 2002, it was initially rented to another foodcourt operator ( who air-conditioned the place), but things didn't work out. ????Subsequently, things got into order, and now we have this Kim Keat Food Centre ( non aircon) right at my doorstep. There was also a big fire last year in June 2023, that burned down part of the foodcourt. In the end, the foodcourt operator renovated the entire premises and it re-opened in July 2023 last year. The entire place now looks better and is cleaner. All individual stalls have their premises renovated too. ???? This is our regular go-to place for our meals at times. Most popular stall is the Hock Kee Seafood Zhi-char stall & the Indian food stall is great too. I also like Fat Belly Western stall for their fish and chips. ”
