New dainty kopitiam in Bukit Bintang serves affordable local delights with a twist

Is there a better way to romanticise city life while staying connected to your roots than enjoying traditional cuisine in the heart of town? Hoifan Company has mastered this concept to perfection!

This charming new kopitiam in Bukit Bintang is not your typical coffeeshop. Embracing modern trends, Hoifan Company adds a contemporary twist to both the ambience and the food. They’ve managed to preserve the nostalgic, cosy vibe of classic kopitiams while blending in chic, stylish elements — perfectly capturing the trendy energy of KL.

Hidden away from the main road, this spot offers a peaceful escape from the bustling city. Adorned with warm, rich brown tones and wooden accents, it’s not only visually soothing but also perfect for your Instagram feed.

What really caught my attention was their inventive rice and noodle menu, which adds a touch of luxury to local favourites without breaking the bank. A standout dish is their Wagyu Char Kuey Teow (RM17.90) — a classic stir-fried flat noodle dish elevated with Wagyu A5 slices for a truly indulgent bite.

Why not complete your meal with a little snack — Chicken Siew Bao, Wellington Style (RM7.90)? As the name suggests, it combines the traditional flavour of chicken seasoned with Chinese spices, all wrapped in a flaky, Wellington-style pastry.

While Malaysian cuisine rarely lets us down, there are times when we crave something different. Enter the Wagyu Hamburg Steak (RM23.90) — a Japanese comfort dish featuring fragrant rice, a soft, gooey tornado egg, and a succulent Wagyu patty.

It’s all brought together with a rich Japanese curry and a zesty touch of Hoifan Company’s citrus dressing.

Be the trendsetter in your friend group by being the first to visit this newly opened spot! Conveniently located on Jalan Sin Chew Kee, it’s easily accessible via the KL Monorail Line — perfect for those who commute.
