Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Oriental Kopi at Bugis Junction offers a lively, if sometimes cramped, Malaysian kopitiam experience.

We think the strength of the menu lies in its beverages, particularly the Yuan Yang (Cham), which is consistently praised for its balance and fragrance.

While some main dishes like the Chicken Hor Fun and Hainanese Chicken Rice receive mixed reviews for depth of flavour or distinctiveness, the quality of ingredients, especially the fresh prawns, is noted.

The Curry Fish Balls are a standout, described as bold, aromatic, and genuinely enjoyable.

Service can be slow during busy periods, with observations of staff having dedicated roles rather than being all-rounders, leading to uncleared tables while others wait.

However, when staff are engaged, they are noted as attentive and friendly.

We'd recommend visiting for the excellent coffee and the Curry Fish Balls, perhaps during off-peak hours to avoid the tight seating and noise.

It's a reliable spot for a taste of Malaysian comfort food, but manage expectations for some of the more complex dishes.

Best for a quick, flavourful coffee and snack, or a casual meal if you don't mind the bustle.

What customers say

Oriental Kopi at Bugis Junction generally receives positive feedback for its authentic Malaysian-themed menu, particularly the flavorful Curry Fish Balls, tender Hainanese chicken, and excellent Yuan Yang coffee.

While service can be slow during peak hours due to high demand and staff role specialization, many appreciate the attentive and friendly staff.

Some dishes like the Nasi Lemak and Hainanese Chicken Rice's rice component have received mixed reviews for lacking fragrance or distinctiveness, but the overall food quality and variety are a draw for customers.

Service at the Oriental Bugis was a little slow, but that could be attributed to place being very busy. Nevertheless it did seem the staff could be trained to have an all-round role. There were custom…

Heard about this Malaysian-themed coffee chain for quite a while and finally managed to drop by when we noticed the queue wasn’t too long. Weekend mornings here are clearly popular — the place was pac…

fried chicken is better than Nanyang, but overall Old Town still has the best nasi lemak. Oriental's nasi lemak lacks fragrance and too dry for my taste. But in general Oriental is better than Nanyan…
