Hong Lee Coffee Stall 鴻利茶室 at Telok Blangah Crescent Market

Heritage kopi at Telok Blangah Crescent Market, a traditional coffee stall pouring Nanyang brews for the neighbourhood.

Hong Lee Coffee Stall (鴻利茶室) is a traditional coffee stall at Telok Blangah Crescent Market and Food Centre, located at stall #01-94. The stall's Chinese name 鴻利茶室, which translates to "Goose Profit Tea House," reflects the old-school charm of Singapore's traditional kopi tiam culture, where coffee and tea are prepared using time-honoured methods passed down through generations. Telok Blangah Crescent Market serves the mature residential estate in Singapore's southern precinct.

The stall prepares kopi and teh the traditional Nanyang way, pulling the brew through a cloth sock filter for a rich, full-bodied cup, and sweetening it with condensed or evaporated milk. The menu covers all the essential variations: kopi (with condensed milk), kopi-o (black with sugar), kopi-c (with evaporated milk and sugar), and their teh counterparts, plus iced versions for warmer days. Traditional coffee stalls are the anchors of any hawker centre, and Hong Lee has likely been serving the Telok Blangah community for many years.

MakanSouth recommends Hong Lee Coffee Stall for an authentic Nanyang kopi experience at Telok Blangah Crescent. A good cup of kopi is the start of every proper hawker centre meal.
