I tend to avoid “cai png” because you can almost always get food that’s just as affordable, prepared fresh and not dripping with oil within the same coffeeshop. Mix Box Cafe however does an acceptable version with a large variety of visually appealing dishes to choose from. I got the chicken cutlet which was well-seasoned and came topped with a sweetish sauce along with aromatic curry leaves. When i saw my primary school favourite of luncheon meat and potato I picked it straight away and had no regrets – meaty cubes of processed meat and soft potato will always be comfort food. Make sure to take generous heapfuls of the rich sambal and cut chilli in dark soy sauce which they provide at the side of the counter.
