The trio dubs it “the most trendy coffee shop in Hougang”, featuring bright and bold colours, neon signage, and even a photo wall for diners.
What’s more, the kopitiam boasts 10 food stalls selling dishes ranging from classics like chicken rice and wanton mee to sweet offerings.
Miss Tam Chiak announced via Instagram on Tuesday (11 July) that the kopitiam had officially opened for operations.
On their Facebook page, Tam Chiak Kopitiam thanked those who supported them on the first day of operations.
They also apologised for “any disappointment” due to sold-out items” or “early closure”.
“Please bear with us during this soft launch as we fine-tune operations,” the kopitiam urged.
