Wanting to go to Austin's Kopitiam since last year but didn't have the chance to go because is out of the way. But I get to go there today to try out the dishes.
It's a tiny restaurant with only about 10 tables. Not busy at all.
Anyway, Joe and I sat down. Look around the restaurant. Not impressed at all. Dark Green Leather seats with red colour wall.
Then we look at the menu, we found a few dishes with interesting names which makes us wanna try but afraid it will be not good.
Deep fried Kailan with mince chicken and top with icing sugar.
This is my first time having it and I like it! It was something different for me. the Kailan is fried til crispy like the packet seaweed, then they stir fry it with the mince chicken. It tasted good surprisingly.
Deep Fried Chicken with pickles, peanuts, chilli, garlic and some special sauce.
It's tasted abit like my mom's famous dish Pai Kuat, but this one it has ginger in it and maybe plum sauce I suspect. So.. yea, not bad.
Then we had Sago pudding in coconut, palm sugar and some toasted sesame seeds.
Overall, although it was abit dissapointing at first, but the food and price wins everything. Surprisingly cheap and very generous.
and you know what.. Austin's Kopitiam doesn't sell Kopi.
If anyone of you are interested, here are the details of the restaurant.
167 Scarborough Beach Rd, Mt Hawthorn.
Open from 5.30pm-10pm Mon-Sat for dinner.
Austin Kopitiam is closed. The new shop is called Cultural Tastes.
