Popular Hainanese coffee stall Choon Kee Hainanese Coffee is having a pop-up at Great Nanyang's Somerset outlet.

The pop-up will be there till 2. Sep, 2024.

One-of-a-kind coffee and tea

Founded in 1955 in Taiping, Malaysia, the coffee brand began as a roadside stall and gained popularity for its unique beverages, resulting in long queues at their Kuala Lumpur (KL) bazaars.

They are known for their unique beverage creations, such as the signature Barley and Teh series and the Haikou Breeze — a Himalayan Salt Sweet-inspired mojito.

Here's what we tried:

Choon Kee's duck egg kaya toast ($2.70++)

Made using Choon Kee's kaya paired with a thick slab of butter and crispy toast, this toast leaft a strong aftertaste.

Barley Series

These drinks deliver a thick and creamy texture with a hint of maltiness.

Choon Kee Special Series

If you prefer a richer flavour, these drinks are for you.

These beverages are less sweet compared to others on the menu.
