Our take: Khong Guan Restaurant offers a nostalgic, old-school coffee shop experience, with many reviewers praising its homely atmosphere.
The Kaya toast consistently receives high marks for its generous butter and kaya, paired with perfectly soft-boiled eggs.
We note the affordability of drinks, with kopi/teh priced at $1.20, a rarity in today's market.
The Malay food stall operating within the coffee shop is a significant draw, known for its popular Nasi Padang and mixed vegetable rice.
While the Nasi Padang is highlighted for its variety and value (e.g., beef, squid, fish, chicken wing, bean sprouts for $14), some feedback suggests the nasi lemak sambal can be watery.
The space is small and can get very crowded, particularly during peak hours and on Fridays due to its proximity to a mosque.
Parking is also noted as a challenge.
We think it's a solid choice for an affordable, traditional breakfast or lunch, especially if you're in the Queenstown area and appreciate a retro vibe.
Best for a quick, budget-friendly meal, but be prepared for potential queues and limited seating.

The Malay food stall within the coffee shop is also highly regarded for its Nasi Padang, though some find the nasi lemak sambal watery.
