Killiney coffee. Now you can dine in at Killiney Kopitiam located at Times Square, below the escalator, nearest to HSBC ATM.

Take a journey back to the good old days by enjoying the freshly brewed coffee and tantalising aroma of warm kaya (coconut egg jam) toast at Killiney Kopitiam, newly opened at Times Square Shopping Centre.

With Killiney Kopitiam outlets in Indonesia, Hong Kong, Australia, and now Brunei, it’s hard to believe that it all began back in 1919 at the Kheng Hoe Heng Coffeeshop in a shophouse on Killiney Road, Singapore.

The visionary behind the brand is Woon Tek Seng, a Hainanese who tried his best to preserve Hainanese culture by producing quality coffee and kaya toasts.

In addition to its popular staples, Killiney Kopitiam also offers local favourites, such as Chicken Curry served with French loaf, Mee Rebus (a boiled noodle dish), Mee Siam (sweet and tangy Siamese noodles), and its famous Singaporean laksa (spicy noodle soup), which is prepared using a secret recipe that has been passed down through generations.

The menu items are also of good value, as each item is priced under $10.

According to Killiney International Pte Ltd Business Development Manager Woon Tien Wei, the eatery serves comfort food that is popular throughout Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei.

“It’s like something you would eat right after you wake up: coffee, kaya toast, half-boiled eggs and even the classics like chicken curry,” said Woon.

“It is a bit different here in Brunei and we would like to learn a little bit more so we can cook something that is in tune to the locals’ palate.”

Woon also stated that Killiney is a place where food and heritage are kept untouched, despite being contemporised.

For those who are interested, please visit Killiney Kopitiam located at the ground floor of Times Square Shopping Centre, near the ATM machines. The outlet operates from 7.30am until 8pm until further notice. Text courtesy of Ikhwan Salleh of The Brunei Times.

Finally I personally meet His Excellency Choi Byung Koo, the Korean Ambassador to Brunei Darussalam. He’s a good conversationist and humourous too. Thank you for hosting us lunch.

Last Monday I had the privilege to be invited to the residence of the Korean Embassy for luncheon together with the Korean Ambassador to Brunei and Wu Chun, our superstar celebrity and also James and Tony, representatives from Borneo Bulletin and other guests. For me, it was more of breaking the ice session as I’ve never got acquainted with the Korean Ambassador to Brunei, His Excellency Choi Byung Koo.

I will be heading to South Korea if everything goes as planned in June and this was an invitation from the Korean Embassy which gives me the opportunity to explore the wonderful things that South Korea can offer. I’ve only transited at the Seoul airport on my way to San Francisco a few years ago. So I can’t wait for this grand opportunity to experience the culture of Korea. I love Korean food and I also love Kara *lol* For your info, Kara is one of my favourite girl band from Korea whom I had a huge crush during the Samsumg Galaxy Disk Award in Kuala Lumpur last January. Anyway, thank you to the Korean Embassy for this golden opportunity.

During lunch, Wu Chun revealed he has finished writing the book on his personal experience where he rose to stardom status and also the challenges he had to overcome. Currently it is written in Chinese but he hinted that it will be translated into English to cater to a wider audience. It’s most likely that his book will released later part of 2013. Wu Chun is also appointed as the Goodwill Ambassador of the Republic of Korea since last year and he will be heading to Korea for an exchange programme.

Our lunch was delicately prepared by Madam Kim Kyung Soo. The food was awesome and healthy too.

 

You should try this out!! I’m in love with it…
