It's long weekend and my family is in town visiting us again. Drove all the way to Pandan Indah to try out this famous Hainan Kopitiam originated from Bentong, Pahang for it's signature breakfast and coffee. It is about 20mins away from my place via Sungai Besi highway. Warned you first, Thong Kee is famous among the locals and "outsider" like us. Besides not so easy to find a parking nearby, finding a table is not easy as well.
Parking - We manage to park our vehicle at a public parking lot not far away, then found out that this area is using parking coupon system - which we don't have it and kind of far to walk over to purchase after asked around. So, we park without parking coupon which is not recommended! Suggest to park at the Midpoint Shopping Mall which is just 2 rows behind Thong Kee Cafe.
Table - There's no queue system here for the table, you need to look for an occupied table where the eaters seems like about to finish their meal + nobody is waiting for it, and wait aside until you got the table. We waited quite a while (not very long, maybe 10mins) to get a table of 5. Frankly speaking, I dislike this type of waiting table system as it is all depends on your luck - someone arrive later might get a table before you did.
We had their signature breakfast~ Baked Hainan Bread (Kaya & Butter Toast), Cheese Ham Croissant, half boiled egg as well as the signature drink 1+1 (coffee mix with milk tea in the ratio of 1:1). The half boiled eggs delivered fast. The worker send the eggs inside the steel mug with boiling hot water, ask us to wait for 5 minutes then remove it from mug ourself. The 1+1 was forgotten and after reminder only they deliver and we already finish our meal. So no picture of it.
There are other local food stalls as well with variety of local food such as pork noodle, pan mee, chee cheong fun, hakka mee etc. Bro-in-law had curry chee cheong fun with some sides from one of the stall, sis and me took a few bites, it was delicious! Thong Kee has other branches in PJ and SeaPark which I only found out later - bro in law is the one who decide where to have breakfast so I never check. Should have just go to Sea Park or PJ branch which is nearer than go Pandan Indah.
