This one is a kopitiam that’s been on the Singaporean radar for more than five decades. Jin Wee Coffee Shop is famous for straight up, no nonsense comfort food with the feel of a home cooked meal and a taste that will leave you licking your fingers and spoons like a contented kid. While the eatery specializes in Chinese zi char, it also serves delicious home cooked meals like marmite pork ribs, cereal prawns, heavenly Hainanese pork chops, stir fried kai lan, and a lot more- the list keeps going. The best part: they open their doors at 9.30 am and work for about 12 hours at a stretch. So it’s okay if you’re not an early riser; you can sleep in and head over to the coffee shop later in the day too.
