Coffee Hut: Kopi So Good, He had 4 cups!
With iwatch_ueat and SCS Butter
As we were eating the un-cheng Fish Soup, the aroma of coffee wafted through the air and caught the attention of iwatch_ueat who is usually not a coffee drinker. But the aroma of the coffee was so alluring that she decided to order a cup for herself and SCS Butter who is one of our Blog's Kopi Kings.
The first sip of the Kopi and SCS Butter was hooked. He said it is the best Kopi he has tasted around the area. There is that spiciness when the coffee first hits the palate followed by the full bodied taste of the Evaporated milk and coffee, finishing with a lingering aroma at the back of the throat after swallowing. It was so good that we ended up ordering around 6 cups of Kopi.
Well, the truth is that SCS downed the first two cups himself. But I was curious about just how good it was (I was taking Teh C) that I ordered another one to get a taste. I thought it was good but not that great, so SCS had a go and admitted that the first two were better. So we went onto cup number four. I am not sure if it was because we had one cup too many, but the later cups just did not have the oomph of the first two. Given the inconsistency of the Kopi I would rate it 4.25/5 at this stage. SCS Butter would have given the first two a 4.5/5.
The toast was another story. It was delightfully light, crispy and crumbly on the outside but soft on the inside. The butter was the right consistency and not overly thick and the Kaya was fragrant but not sickly sweet. Roland related the fine art of toasting the bread to us. He said that he only uses fresh bread rather that bread which is one or two days old which is easier to handle as it is little stiffer. But the extra effort results in better tasting bread which is fluffy on the inside and crumbly on the outside. This Kaya Toast is definitely worth coming for. 4.5/5
Conclusion
Totally unexpected find. Kopi lovers should definitely check it out.

whenever my dad eats at berseh he will order the kopi from Coffee Hut!
Anyways something totally outta point: the ppl at Coffee Hut are really nice! I felt quite bloated after a meal and wanted to drink some ginger tea. Even tho they didn't sell that, they took their own packet of ginger tea premix and made it for me. Yes they did charge me but it still made me very happy that somebody actually went out of the way to do something for the customer :)

After drinking so much coffee everywhere, I still vote our kopitiam coffee the best! But it must come in that little white ceramic cup, somehow the kopi just tastes different in the big glass.
I am still having a hard time trying to convince my friends in the US that our humble and cheap little cup of kopi tastes way better than the expensive gourmet coffee they are gulping each day.
i think this kind of kopi is a work of art. love it and miss it.
Nice...how come you never joie us to go.... My favourite hawker food is ipoh hor fun, carrot cake and roast bbq meat!
Eeerrrh, did I mentioned i got trouble sleepin tat nite.... haa haa just kidding.
oh ya! scs butter, u remind me of my traumatic & pathetic of bloatedness and stomachace the whole nite juz b'coz i'm no kopi drinker. btw, it's good to know that you can can still find good kopi around the good old days food centre.
if u can still sleep after 4 cups of kopi i must say it's pretty amazing actually!

i find their copi is the nicest around town. i tink it is even better then some of the ya-kun stores in singapore. i have tried many coffee around singapore and i will have to agree tat it is one of the best in singapore. and plus the store owner is very friendly and treats their customers with respect, which is something tat you cannot find in hawker centre
hahax. i would have to agree to. how can u sleep after drinking 4 cups of copi? but i have to admit. their copi is rather nice to drink.

This comment is as hot as my kopi now, I just ta pao regular kopi from coffee hut and its as good as that day.... keep it up.....
How about parking? Is it difficult to find parking at this place? Thanks!
Can always park along the streets or the building (Jalan Besar Plaza) next door.
Dr Tay,
The kopi is very good; better than the Bedok North Blk 216 hawker centre Rui Xin which has a long queue on weekend. However, still prefer the one at keong Siak Rd - Tong Ah Coffeshop
