  • The Singaporean coffee culture is unique to us. Let's face it, while the presence of gourmet coffee in Singapore may have grown, our local coffee-shop Kopi will always have a special place in our hearts (and stomachs).
    But how much do we know about the hard work that goes into a traditional cup of Kopi we drink every morning?

    In my opinion , it is the economy that is killing these treasured heritage , rent , debt , cost of living etc had been skyrocketed. Hence millennials may find these kind of job or the responsibility of continuing those culture / heritage not so feasible. I do need to give credit for those who are willing to continue and preserve these treasures. Feel free to criticize me and we'll have a healthy debate here

      I feel that old people require roasted beans and in the past, they wanted an affordable cup of coffee so they did this business. So now, millennials look towards better coffee and want higher quality. This industry won't disappear its just evolving into a more complex and higher-quality industry.

      The oldest Hainanese coffee shop in Singapore belongs to Killiney kopitiam at Killiney Road. It started off as Kheng Hoe Heng Coffee shop in 1919 by a Hainanese migrant. Whereas in KL, the first coffee shop named Yut Kee was opened in 1928. Roasted coffee with sugar and butter was invented by a coffee shop owner in Singapore in 1929, and was made popular in Malaysia. Subsequently, coffee shops in the different states in Malaysia created different ways of roasting their coffee beans. Check it out from the links below

      @@hotbodtz The oldest Hainanese coffee shop in Singapore belongs to Killiney kopitiam at Killiney Road. It started off as Kheng Hoe Heng Coffee shop in 1919 by a Hainanese migrant. Whereas in KL, the first coffee shop named Yut Kee was opened in 1928. Roasted coffee with sugar and butter was invented by a coffee shop owner in Singapore in 1929, and was made popular in Malaysia. Subsequently, coffee shops in the different states in Malaysia created different ways of roasting their coffee beans. Check it out from the links below
