Welcome to Jalan Besar.

Baby shrimp crackers, chicken wing, egg. My first time with the crackers. Very interesting albeit basic. It's a paper-thin cracker with hae bi, instead of prawns.

Scallion oil chicken rice 蔥油雞肉飯 (S$6++)

Not new to their quality Taiwanese dishes, I tried more of @8degreesatsg 's options and I was wow-ed by some of them 😍

The Scallion Oil Chicken Rice ($6) got my friend looking at me in disbelief 😂 it was so flavourful and had so much umami flavours that I just couldn't stop! Honestly, I think I can eat another bowl as it was just that good! The chicken itself can be a little tough but not much of a concern.

The braised pork belly rice ($7) was the standard Taiwanese fare. Filled with tender fatty pork belly, this was not too salty and quite comforting.

Among the sides we got, the Marinated King Oyster Mushroom ($6) would be my go-to order. You really can't go wrong with such aromatic and flavourful chilli oil. So addictive!

To cool off the heat, the Wintermelon with Lemon ($4.90) would be a good choice due to its citrusy flavours. 0 sugar worked best for me as it was already slightly sweet!

Thank you @scalecollab.sg for inviting and @8degreesatsg for the food. Can't wait to be back!

I don't fancy baguettes because most of the time, the outer crust is so thick and hard that I end up cutting my gums whilst biting or chewing on them.

Coffee Hut's baguette has a thin and crispy outer skin and is soft and fluffy on the inside. I really like that they do not stinge on the kaya and butter as the flavours come out strongly with each bite.

My parents enjoyed this so much that they had a repeat order!

Coffee Hut in Berseh Food Centre is one of my favourite spots to go for my morning cup of tea and kaya toast.

The uncle running the stall was featured in the press previously for spending thousands of dollars to a Hainan coffee master to learn the ropes of the trade. I don't drink coffee but his tea is one of the best for me in terms of consistency, flavour and aroma.

They make their own kaya sauce (which you can purchase in bottles as well) and their bread are toasted to order. The kaya has a nice strong pandan fragrance and a nice creamy coconuty flavour. One of the best in towns IMHO.

I also like their eye for detail. I'm usually there for a takeaway otw to work and they would pack the toast and drink separately to avoid melting the butter in the toast.

Mee Sua Soup still very good.

But no more back alley seats liao. Now only can sit inside the coffee shop, which have limited tables.

The Soup is those thick type, like the soup you have at chinese wedding dinners. The mee sua Soup is also eaten the same way, with pepper and vinegar.

The prawn paste Chicken was alsi good. Crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside.

Chaota bee hoon standard feels like drop a bit la, but still 1 of the better chaota bee hoon out there. Used to be damn awesome.
