Just a 3-min walk away from Tanjong Pagar MRT, Great Nanyang is an eatery with an olden days Kopitiam concept. From the same founder of Yang Ming Seafood by Keith Kang, this is a project that has been in the making for three years.

Great Nanyang Exterior

Browse through the menu containing old school coffee shop favourites that is reminiscent of those nostalgic flavours when you visit! Here’s what to look forward to:

Signature Hainanese Chicken Cutlet

The Signature Hainanese Chicken Cutlet ($15.90) here comes with crispy and juicy chicken doused by a home-made gravy concocted using white onions, butter, pandan leaves and more.

Having tasted over 20 renditions of Hainanese Chicken Chops island wide before coming up with their own rendition, this is a dish that will win your hearts.

Nasi Lemak Kukus

A staple breakfast item for many, the Nasi Lemak Kukus ($8.90) is served with steamed coconut rice, sambal and a choice of four add-ons – Chicken Berempah Leg, Curry Chicken, Sambal Petai Prawn or Rendang Mutton, on top of the cucumber slices and fried egg.

Or if you enjoy noodles more, try the light but filling Dry Mee Siam ($8.90). Have it with the Chicken Berempah Leg, deboned for easy of consumption or choose from three other choices of Curry Chicken, Sambal Petai Prawn and Rendang Mutton.

Other dishes available on the menu includes:

  • Moonlight Hor Fun ($7.90): Stir-fried hor fun topped off with a runny yolk.
  • Egg Fried Rice ($6.90): Simple yet satisfying rice fried to smoky golden grains.
  • Nyonya Curry Laksa ($8.90): Seafood-based creamy broth, with a sweet and spicy kick.
  • Penang Assam Laksa ($8.90): A sweet, sour, tangy, gingery and floral version of laksa.

  • Prawn Paste Chicken Wing ($6.90 for 4pcs, $8.90 for 6pcs): Each wing is lightly coated and perfumed with prawn fragrance.
  • Sambal Kangkong ($8.80): Crunchy, spicy and smoky.
  • Curry Fish Balls ($4.80): Doused in lemak Nyonya-style curry.
  • Prawn Roll ($4.80 for 4pcs, $7.00 for 6pcs): Fragrant, light and filling.
Traditional Kaya Butter Toast

For breakfast or a sweet treat in between meals, Great Nanyang offers a selection of Hand Made Kaya Toast in a choice of traditional ($2.50), thick ($2.70) or wholemeal ($3.00) spread with a house-made kaya with no preservatives and a seriously generous chunk of cold butter.

For the ultimate experience, they are best paired with their Soft-Boiled Kampong Eggs ($2.50 for 2pcs) that are supplied fresh from a farm in Malaysia, promising lower cholesterol and higher nutritional values.

French Toast

If you are feel like indulging, try their sweet toasts like Butter Sugar and Peanut Butter or opt for the French Toast that is readily cut into cubes for ease of eating.

Available in flavours of Peanut Butter ($4.50), Kaya Butter ($4.50) and Cheesy Ham ($5.00), make it a set with Soft Boil Kampong Eggs and coffee or tea for an additional $3.00!

Egg Cheese Toast

Additionally, there are modern takes on savoury toasts with toppings like Tuna Mayo, Chicken Floss, Egg Mayo, Egg Cheese, Cheesy Ham Egg and Garlic and Luncheon Meat to choose from.

Fun fact, for the egg toasts particularly, the egg whites and yolks are actually cooked separately to introduce more variations in texture!

Iced Teh

At Great Nanyang, all drinks come in sizable portions! You can enjoy Kopi and Teh (Hot: $1.90, Cold: $3.80) choices that are crafted following traditional recipes, finished with smooth frothy foam on the top to ensure a delightful experience, whether you prefer them hot or cold. Definitely worth the money in our opinion.

Iced Coconut Coffee

A blend of Nanyang Coffee and sweet condensed coconut milk, the coconut coffee ($5.90) has light but aromatic fragrant flavours of creamy coconut. P.s. coconut coffee actually has health perks such as boosting metabolism, increasing energy levels and providing good cholesterol…plus, it tastes great!

Great Nanyang Interior

Overall, the food is moderately priced for its portions, similar to pricing in a typical Tze Char store, and the atmosphere is cosy.

The Nanyang Heritage Café is a great place for anyone, young or old, to soak in the past of the great 1950s-1980s and enjoy authentic flavours of both Malaysia and Singapore.

The spruced up dishes are sure to guarantee a comforting and filling time. The only problem? There is only one outlet, for now… so head on down before the place gets packed!

Address: 5 Craig Road, Singapore 089665
Opening Hours: 7.30am – 9pm, Daily (last orders: 8.30pm)
Please note that whilst not halal-certified, Nanyang Heritage Café products do not contain pork or lard.
