Passed by countless time. Finally decided to pop in on a Friday afternoon for lunch. Nearby there’s a public carpark, so no issue for those who drive.
It was full but didn’t have to wait long for a table. Have to order at the counter, and self collection at the food counter later.
The place has a nostalgic feel with the old furniture & set up. Love it. There’s a wedding corner whereby you can see all the things one has to prepare in the past & present for a wedding.
Ordered the chicken curry with bun. The bun is soft & fluffy with a nice butter flavour. The chicken is old school style Chinese curry, reminds me of my grandmother’s chicken curry. Nice! And had a cold barley to go with the meal.
At the side, they also have their usual takeaway stall whereby you can buy carrot cake, fish balls, curry puff & etc…
Enjoyed the flower bread curry chicken, especially the curry itself. Could do with less bread and more curry chicken. The chap chye was not bad, especially the ingredients. The teh c kosong was fine. While the flavour was good, the curry puff lacked ingredients - didn’t taste any chicken chunks in it.
A nostalgic place tucked in the corner Mckenzie Rd that brings you back to the 70's . They serve great coffee set and mee rebus (1st visit) and tried the tahu goreng and chicken chop & chicken rice ( average ) on my 2nd visit .Still love the vibes , not so crowded ...
Old school food in old school plates and mugs. Nice taste, ambience and experience!

It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing local food . Staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations.
Tl;dr delicious local fare in a rustic traditional setting
Along a row of shophouses, sits the unassuming Old Chang Kee Coffee House. Step inside and prepare to be transported back in time.
Here you will find the genesis of the ubiquitous curry puff. But the coffee house goes beyond the usual Old Chang Kee fare — sotong balls, chicken wraps on sticks, etc — and serves other delicious delights.
We had the dry laksa (heavenly!), the blue pea rice nasi lemak (a happy twist on a national treasure), the curry chicken with flower bread (what’s not to love about free flow curry gravy), and finished off with some local desserts (aiyu jelly and bubur cha cha).
Everything was of good quality and good value for money. Had a wonderful experience with my family. Strongly recommend it!
