"A traditional kopitiam near Lavender MRT run by an aging father-and-son team, unchanged for years with old wooden furniture and marble tiles. It’s known for kopi gu you (coffee with a pat of butter), kaya toast and eggs, and sits alongside a Malay stall that still makes curry puffs from scratch with an on-site dough mixer — a rare handmade treat in a gentrifying neighbourhood. There’s uncertainty about whether the next generation will carry the business on." - Mrigaa Sethi
