Killeney is such an Irish-sounding name. Well, Celtic, at the very least. But I’ll bet a million bucks there ain’t no place in Ireland called Killeney Kopitiam, nor serve the best Teh C (tea with evaporated milk) I ever tasted; or kaya and toast; or curry puffs; or fishball soup with the super large fishballs Singapore is famous for. They also have great-tasting fried tofu and chee cheong fan.
There are many Killeney Kopitiams scattered around the island. It’s a local franchise. But a few trips ago to Singapore found me a regular fixture at the branch at Lucky Plaza, Orchard Road. It’s a teeeeny tiny little place, squished into a hole in the wall. I like it. When it’s not rush hour. I find the service there a lot more personal than a few other kaya and toast places I went to in Singapore. Made me feel like that was the only Killiney in town.
Funky little place ? I will check it out next trip on to “The Little Island That Could”.
