Foodie Rating: Three Stars.

-----

KopiRoti is located at Greenbelt 3, Ayala Center Makati.

Those who've been to Singapore and have had the chance to experience Malaysian cuisine would be familiar with these types of foodie establishments.  Weird, huh?  Malaysian cuisine in Singapore??  FYI, Malaysians are one of the major ethnic groups residing in Singapore, so it shouldn't be a surprise that Singapore foodie culture recognizes the Malaysian cuisine as part of their own.

But I digress.

One of the distinct Malaysian food experiences I've had back in Singapore was with the Kaya toast, a foodie snack that I can describe as toasted bread with a coconut-based spread.  Much like the coco jam here in the Philippines, this type of snack is perfect for merienda, or even breakfast when accompanied with eggs and coffee.

Another famous snack from Singapore is the Coffee Bun, which is basically a bun-shaped bread made from flour mixed with coffee.  This is what got me interested about KopiRoti, given my recent interest in all things coffee-related.

Left: Soft-boiled eggs with black pepper and soy sauce

I did not feel like having Kaya toast that time, so I settled for soft-boiled eggs, a coffee bun and a sample of their brewed coffee. All three were included in a meal worth P110, which I guess is not bad for an *imported* food establishment (add the fact that they rented a place in Greenbelt 3 nonetheless).

As for the taste?

Well, there's nothing bad to say about eggs, bread and coffee.  But if you think about it, there aren't many ways to screw up preparations for eggs, bread and coffee, either.  I have to say, thought, that this was the first time I've tasted eggs on toyo, but given that soy sauce is naturally salty, the taste isn't THAT different from sprinkling salt on your eggs.  As for the coffee bun, it tasted like... well, bread with coffee--just as it should be.  And the coffee?  I've had my doubts on sweetening coffee with condensed milk, but from tasting the coffee it really does seem to work.  Just the right sweetness and creaminess; I appreciated how the coffee tasted like (considering that I prefer mine black).

Nothing remarkable for KopiRoti, but since there aren't that many Malaysian-Singaporean snack establishments here, I would most definitely come back... maybe to sample their Kaya toast for a change.
