Kopi Tiam really tries to bring local food to those of us who are allergic to sun and humidity. On a day when the temperature hit 36 celsius, and you still want hawker food, Kopi Tiam can be a pleasant surprise.So for those of us who have spent the past 2 years at least in the Northern Hemisphere, Kopi Tiam is a lifesaver.
I met with Marguerita whom I have not seen for at least 10 years (perhaps more but that would give away our age wouldn't it, and girls don't reveal their ages) and Soh Chin whom I met in April (she who took me to the Star Trek premiere). What better way is there to spend an afternoon than catching up with long lost friends, girly chat and chin way, and pretty decent local food? Margerita certainly enjoyed her extremely lemak Laksa which came in a big claypot - certainly, the lemak soup is so thick it is more like a sauce than soup. Soh Chin has the Hainanese Chicken Rice which looked good although M and I thought the chili condiment wasn't quite so authentic. I had a second lunch appointment, so I ordered rojak to share. It was not bad, except i tasted onions in the rojak. Why would anyone put onions in rojak? Ugh.
M goes back to New York, lucky girl. Bon Voyage M! See you in NYC - i hope very soon for me!
