Heap Seng Leong Coffeeshop

Little India & Kampong Glam


Have you joined the new bulletproof coffee craze? Where health nuts are adding butter to their coffee? Well, in Singapore they've been doing it for decades. Called kopi gu you (coffee with butter), this smooth and caramely brew is served in this old-school coffeeshop by an elderly uncle. For just over S$1.10, it's a coffee lover's bargain.
