Kheng Guan Hiong Coffeeshop (琼源香咖啡店) is well-known for its traditional coffee and charcoal-grilled toasts in Pontian Kechil of Johor. The little coffee shop is located opposite Pontian Fish Market — a popular spot for locals and Singaporeans to get fresh seafood.
Kheng Guan Hiong’s aromatic coffee is not to be missed when in Pontian Kechil. From selection of coffee beans to self-roasting them, Kheng Guan Hiong manages it all themselves using their own traditional ways for over 70 years. Going for a cup of kopi-O kosong is the best way to appreciate the aromatic, non-bitter coffee.
Ordering the Hainanese-style traditional breakfast set at the coffee shop is the best way to try both their aromatic coffee and charcoal-grilled toasts with two tasty soft-boiled eggs.
Kheng Guan Hiong uses thick, soft and fresh breads for their toasts, which are lightly-grilled over charcoal. For butter and kaya toasts, the grilled bread will be spread with their self-made kaya and added with butter.
The lightly-roasted breads are slightly-charred on the outside — with nice charcoal-grilled aroma — and retained most of its softness. The butter are laid out in thick strips instead of being spread thin. The amount of kaya and butter are well-balanced and not too much so as to avoid creating a sinfully sweet toasts for breakfast.
Apart from having great coffee at the coffeeshop, Kheng Guan Hiong’s coffee is also available for buying and take home. Each pack of Kheng Guan Hiong Coffee consists of 10 sachets of ground coffee in hang-ear filters for ease of brewing at home.
