Description
On Lok Yun was the Starbucks of your grandfather’s era. These days, this 70-year-old café is still packed with old-timers who drop by for the all-day breakfast over a cup of coffee (B15). No espresso, latte or mocha, let alone creamy blended drinks with unpronounceable names—only sweet Thai-style coffee. The menu is brief and to the point, but even so, you might have a hard time deciding between a fluffy ham & cheese sandwich (B35), sausages (B50), French toast (B30), buttered toast (B17), steamed bread with sangkhaya (B50) or poached eggs (B10). The happy staff also brings you complimentary cups of hot tea—a refreshing symbol of old-school generosity.
