With nearly 30 outlets here, a cup of Killiney kopi is never too far away. Yet that might not be the case in other parts of the world.

Recently, Killiney took another step to changing that with its first US franchise in Silicon Valley.

On its first day of opening, the Killiney outlet reportedly saw a 1-hour queue for its signature bak kut teh, laksa, and roti prata, among other hawker fares.

The café serves a wide range of hawker fishes, from char kway teow (S$17.62) to laksa (S$18.98) and even bak kut teh (S$17.62).
