Brewing Kopi
Flaming
The first drink that I tried is the BBrulee Kopi Latte ($3.20). Similar to the latte, concentrated Nanyang Kopi is added to fresh milk and crowned with signature salted cream. I am surprised that the savoury hint blend well with the kopi. If you prefer, you can order the Teh variation, BBrulee Teh Latte ($3.20).

The G.M Kopi BBliss ($3.50), an ice blended drink, is another recommended drink.
GM Teh Bliss
Other specialty local beverages include the refreshing Lychee Orange Tea ($3.50), the BB Rose ($3.50).
Lychee Orange Tea
There are a total of 8 open-faced Toast ($2 onwards per toast). The thick butter toast has a similar taste profile to the Brioche, fluffy and yet dense, with a crisp edge. Some of the popular selections are PB&J and Say Cheese.

PB&J Toast
If you are looking for something wholesome, you can select the sandwiches – B.F.F Battered Fried Fish ($4.60), which I tried. The entire combination is so tasty. I believe it is the sauce that spice up the flavour. I am planning to try the C.F.C Crispy Fried Chicken ($4.60) at my next visit.
BFF Battered Fried Fish
Four rendition of local favourites which include Laksa Love ($6.80), Curry On Sunshine ($6.80), Taiwan-inspired Braise Me Up ($6.80) and lastly the Hey You Hae Mee ($6.80). All food are pork and lard free.

NAHMJ Verdict
I am in awe with the creativity of the team who concocted the Nanyang Kopi in a espresso style. The entire local kopi and food are elevated to a cafe standard.
