Bgain 681 Old Street Coffee House

New beef noodle stall. Quite nice. Portion reasonable.

I would advise being careful about their employees. My cousin accidentally left a bag here while eating around 12 Dec 2022, and it was expensive and important to him. My aunt who was about 60 years old went to acquire about the lost bag, and the supervisor there said that it was left with an employee. When the employee saw her, he tried to hide away after knowing she was looking for the bag and when he finally came out, the employee said he had thrown away the bag. My aunt tried to ask more as she found it hard to believe that he would throw away such an expensive bag, but he started to hit her hand, and threatened that calling the police would do nothing. Till now, he insisted that he had thrown away the bag, but his behaviour make me believe otherwise. I’m truly appalled by this behaviour of their staff, that they would resort to violence towards an older woman. I hope no customers will have to tolerate this, and that the shop can discourage their employees from such behaviour.

Open 24 hours. Friendly coffee assistant. Has char grill, fishball noodle and a econ bee hoon stall. Econ bee hoon stall lady is very friendly. Econ bee hoon is ok but i find it on the oily side. Tea is nice with a nice aroma and after taste. One problem here is the sitting area is limited and hard to find a table especially in the evening. Many would buy a drink and sit around for hours chatting up.

Tried Happy Congee 满粥了 at this neighbourhood coffee shop. Had the fish congee and the chicken congee. The fish congee was a bit fishy but the chicken congee was great. Also tried the shrimp rice roll, it was good. Note that this is another branch of the Happy Congee stall located at Jalan Besar ARC 360 food court so Hougang residents rejoice! Will recommend.

I'm not a big porridge fan so I've not eaten a lot. But what an unexpected surprise! This has got to be the silkiest congee in SG. I can imagine having this in a small stall by the side of a dusty street in HK.

Oh and don't forget about the freshly made chee cheong fun. So velvety soft, you wanna wrap yourself in it.

$2.50 noodle soup for breakfast
And also another stall selling fried bee boon and nasi lemak, very cheap too.

The Malay Stall is very popular among the residents there.... And I like that they support homemakers trying to make a small living, I see deliveries by different groups for the Kueh, curry puffs and many others... Definitely worth supporting this stall for their good cause. :)

The zhi char in this coffee shop is horrible. I order fried rice with chicken cutlet Thai sauce and an egg. Everything tasted cold. How can it be cold... They must have mass cooked the fried rice and egg and cutlet earlier.... Overall it didn't taste fresh. Should have rejected the food after a mouthful.
