Kwang Koan : Superb Bao and Coffee

Hello everyone,

How was your weekend? Hopefully you all have a wonderful one, like I did. Last Saturday morning, I woke up quite early in the morning for a purpose. I wanted to try having breakfast in an old kopitiam like place in Kelapa Gading area. The place sits on the corner of the street and occupied a small building, jam packed with people at 8ish AM in the morning. The street outside the premise is also packed with cars and bicycle. It is also well known as a post workout hang out place for the bikers. The place is called "Kwang Koan". It is basically an old kopi (coffee) house, Hainan Style, that only sells Bapao (Bao), half boiled eggs, and coffee/tea. Your typical local kopitiam.

The Bapao will cost you 8K, the skin is fluffy and soft while the inside is pretty generous topping. I liked it. The size of the Bao is quite big, one is big enough for me.

 The coffee and tea tarik will cost you 7K, the coffee i think is superb. I loved it. I ordered my 2nd cup right away. While the tea is also decent. They also serve Milo and Iced Coffee. Both are pretty decent. Come on! They use sachet Milo, what's not to love about Milo? :P

That morning I ordered both Peanut Bao and Minced Pork Bao. Both are good. I had a very fulfilling breakfast that day. Will come back soon to have more coffees and Bao!

If you happen to live nearby or thinking about having a good old style coffee in the morning, go here. Although you have to fight for your seat. Take away also available. And there are also many other food stall under the same roof with this kopitiam, such as Pempek (Palembang fish cake with vinegar sauce), Sotomie, and Medan cooked food. Thanks for reading, enjoy your stay!
