Try other options next time (not chicken wings or refresher drinks or white toasted bread with filling). Curry puff was good/small and worth getting again. "

"Infatuation- Whenever you go to this counter-service Malaysian spot on the LES, a few things are certain. First off, you won’t spend more than $15 on any single dish. Second, you’ll enjoy everything you eat. Be sure to order the sweet and nutty nasi lemak, as well as some tok tok mee with crispy egg noodles, cha siu, and fried shrimp and pork wontons. Generally, the lighter dishes are best here, but if you don’t mind spending the afternoon napping upright on your couch, try the french toast with chocolate malt powder and condensed milk."

"Go for the Kaya Butter Toast"

"Kyo Pang built Kopitiam on East Broadway as a tribute to the unfussy, unhurried coffeehouses of Malaysia, where she grew up steeped in Baba Nyonya culture, which is known for its synthesis of Malaysian and Chinese traditions. Sure enough, her cafe feels like the ideal place to linger over a hot beverage and breakfast, which she serves all day. Of the menu’s many pleasures — including nasi lemak, Malaysia’s unofficial national dish, made here with grassy-tasting banana leaf and fragrant coconut rice — the kaya butter toast is a standout. Kaya (“rich” in Malay) is a jam made with coconut milk, eggs, palm sugar and pandan leaves that has the consistency of custard, a chartreuse color and a sweet flavor that defies categorization. At Kopitiam, it’s spread liberally with butter over thick flagstones of crustless white bread that’s been delicately browned. Taken with a cup of tea, the toast becomes the Platonic comfort food, capable of lowering your blood pressure in real time. For those who wish to relive the experience at home, Kopitiam sells kaya by the jar."

"Eater best new. To be clear, the new Kopitiam is still very casual. You order from a laminated menu at the counter, take a number, get your own silverware and bowls, eat happily, and then bus your table. You might see some families, some people on dates, and some solo diners on dates with their phones - all of whom are there for the same reason you are. To hang out and eat some some affordable food that’s good enough to hold its own against what you’d find at more expensive full-service restaurants. Kopitiam review image That food ranges widely from sweet buttered toast to noodle soups and desserts. Since Kopitiam serves food all day, you can get breakfast - which includes some very good fish ball soup and sugary Malaysian-style French toast - anytime. And starting at lunchtime, there’s even more to choose from. Like an oyster omelette we'd elope with, and a rice dish with dried fish that comes wrapped in a banana leaf. Overall, the best things Kopitiam makes are light, with a combination of sweet and salty flavors. A great example of this is the pan mee soup, which has wide hand-pulled noodles, bits of pork, a sweet anchovy broth, and enough dried fish to use as bait to catch another, larger fish. It’s our favorite thing here. So the next time you get hungry in between avoiding the people on your first mental list and the cats on your second, remember that Kopitiam belongs at the top of your third (the list of casual places you could go anytime to eat something really good). It might even inspire you to come up with a new mental list - of reasons to come back here."

"great malaysian food tiny malaysian cafe kopitiam has been reborn on the lower east side with a much larger space ��� and now, chef-owner kyo pang is running the show with restaurateur moonlynn tsai, who previously helped open an uber-hip restaurant in la. pang serves baba-nyonya food, cuisine introduced to malaysia by chinese immigrants and frequently combining the two. at the colorful all-day affair with counter service, find thick-cut sweet toasts and malaysian-style boiled egg in the morning and dishes like spicy stir-fried duck tongue and grilled fish cake heading toward lunch. go for dessert; there are lots of sweet, bite-sized snacks like a coconut crepe available. like at the original, both black coffee with ghee and penang-style white coffee are on deck, too. closed wednesdays."
