Coffee Tulip Has Uncles & Aunties Cooking Comfort Food That’s Yummy For Your Tummy

With Singaporeans being such avid foodies, our island never seems to be short of good cafés. But this café in Novena is slightly different.

On top of having great food, they are run by a group of Pioneer Generation elderly well into their 70s.

Let’s take a look at what people love about the place.

Serves all dishes under $10

According to a post in the Facebook group Hawkers United – Dabao 2020, the store belongs to Uncle Lawrence’s handicapped daughter. He is helping her run it.

For a very reasonable price of under $10, customers can savour local dishes such as char kway teow and garlic fried rice.

What’s on the plate here seems pretty standard — fried luncheon meat, egg and bee hoon. But according to one patron who wrote a Facebook review of the place, it’s the simplest food that’s hardest to be perfect.

Many customers marvel at how Coffee Tulip infuses simple, comfort food like these with distinct flavours.
