Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take on Kimly CoffeeShop at Blk 246 Hougang is that it offers a mixed bag of experiences, largely dependent on the specific stall chosen.

The dim sum stall, in particular, receives high praise for its classic offerings like the Chicken Glutinous Rice and Steamed Prawn Chee Cheong Fun, which are described as comforting and fresh.

This makes it a potential spot for a casual breakfast or morning catch-up.

However, the tze char stall and Tenderbest outlet here have garnered significant negative feedback, with complaints ranging from tasteless food and lack of ingredients to burnt pasta.

There are also concerning reports about hygiene standards at the yong tau foo stall.

While the Lao Shi Jie bak kut teh stall is noted for tasty and fresh pork, with generous portions, its prices are considered slightly high, and even a simple iced Milo kosong is priced at $2.30.

We'd recommend visiting specifically for the dim sum in the mornings, but approach other stalls with caution and manage expectations.

It's a reliable option for dim sum, not a destination for other cuisines.

What customers say

Kimly Coffeeshop at Blk 246 Hougang offers a mixed bag of culinary experiences.

While the dim sum stall receives high praise for its variety and quality, particularly the Chicken Glutinous Rice and Steamed Prawn Chee Cheong Fun, the tze char stall is widely criticised for being tasteless and lacking ingredients.

The Tenderbest stall has also drawn negative feedback for burnt and inedible pasta, and there are significant hygiene concerns raised about the yong tau foo stall due to pests.

However, the Lao Shi Jie bak kut teh stall is a standout, lauded for its tasty, fresh pork and generous portions, despite slightly higher prices.
