Can't remember exactly how long but believe me it's perfect.<BR/><BR/>babe - small world. Yeah,but personally it would have been a get rich quick and cash out scheme as I suspect these kopitiams are seeing a slight drop in interest. Am sure there is a new trend out there to try which will sell well.boo_licioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727039659969643180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-14931663651087834952007-05-08T00:14:00.000+08:002007-05-08T00:14:00.000+08:00funny i was browsing a spore web about ya kun many...funny i was browsing a spore web about ya kun many years back before the influx of high end kopitiams in KL. it was before uncle lim in ikano that started the craze. i was mulling over the biz and checked with my fren in spore if it's viable for a similar biz to be set up in KL then. he told me can do and even did some calculations for me but sad i did not take it up plus i dun hv capital, else i'll be having chains of kopitiam franchises under my arms :p well good dream eh?Babe_KLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762752894942951956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-50894618874865383462007-05-07T21:06:00.000+08:002007-05-07T21:06:00.000+08:00i shall take ur mom's advice and do abit of testin...i shall take ur mom's advice and do abit of testing..but ever since i been a protein freak its been hard boil egg whites every other day..till my mom complains her eggs r missing!"Joe" who is constantly cravinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394450113346260318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-26344022521109431512007-05-07T19:52:00.000+08:002007-05-07T19:52:00.000+08:00thxs for the tips hamham.

Yah Kun used to be really good, but their coffee has gone down the drain - literally. <BR/><BR/>A good way to get access to both is to visit Vivocity. Wang Jiao can be found in HarbourFront Center on the first floor near Macdonald's while Vivocity boasts two Toast Box outlets - basement 2 integrated with the under-par BreadTalk, and third floor in the interestingly laid out Food Republic. The staff rotate between the outlets anyway so either one would do - just depends on your choice of deco.<BR/><BR/>Wang Jiao has a more Singaporean flavour - the food is very much like Yah Kun's but I strongly suggest you try their mini baguette with butter and kaya. Toast Box has much more interesting toast - they serve what they call thick toast. Imagine an inch-high slice of toast slavered with a topping of your choice - powdered Milo with condensed milk or crunchy peanut butter or of course, butter and kaya. <BR/><BR/>Don't try the mee siam though. It looks popular but it's too sour without much flavour.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083497867773565269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12324774.post-6963641023197224872007-05-07T08:53:00.000+08:002007-05-07T08:53:00.000+08:00kampungboycitygal - must try those ones one day.
