Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Great Nanyang Heritage Cafe offers a strong dose of nostalgia with its 1950s-1960s decor and classic kopitiam fare.

We think the standout item is the Kampong egg, with several reviewers calling it 'God tier' and the best traditional soft-boiled egg in Singapore.

The new handmade mini bolo buns are also a highlight, available in various sweet and savoury flavours like Condensed Milk Milo and Curry Sauce.

The $2.95 afternoon tea set, which includes a mini bolo bun with kopi or teh, is consistently praised as one of the best-value deals in town.

While dishes like the Nasi Lemak are described as good and satisfying, they might not deliver a 'wow' factor.

However, the Mee Jawa and Chicken Cutlet Series ($15.90) are noted for their comforting flavours and generous portions.

Service is generally efficient and attentive.

We'd recommend visiting for a nostalgic experience and excellent value, especially during their afternoon tea promotions.

It's a reliable spot for a casual meal or a mid-day break.

What customers say

Great Nanyang Heritage Cafe is praised for its nostalgic kopitiam ambiance and efficient, attentive service.

Customers frequently highlight the exceptional Kampong eggs and the value-for-money afternoon tea sets, especially the mini bolo buns.

While many dishes like the Chicken Cutlet Series and Mee Jawa are found comforting and satisfying, some note that certain items, such as the Nasi Lemak, are good but lack a 'wow' factor.

Nice food, easy to order on the QR code and great, attentive service. Nasi berrmpah was probably the highlight but the kaya toast was also well made for such a 'simple' dish
