Tucked away at Serene Centre, Orh Gao Peh Gao is one of those rare concepts that pulls double duty — and does both remarkably well.
Two Concepts, One Roof
By day, Peh Gao operates as a no-frills neighbourhood coffeeshop serving familiar comfort staples — think kaya toast at $2.80, steaming bowls of pho at $13, and hearty rice bowls from $11.
It’s the kind of place that slots effortlessly into a lazy weekend morning or a fuss-free lunch, with pricing that won’t give your wallet a fright.
Come evening, the same space transforms into Orh Gao Taproom, a craft beer haven anchored by a menu of bold, Asian-inspired small plates designed to pair beautifully with a cold pint.
What to Order
They recently changed the recipe of their kaya and it is even better than before. The Kaya Toast, with housemde kaya and a thick slab of cold butter, is a must-order dish at Peh Gao Coffeeshop.
The evening menu is where things get exciting. The OG Rempah Fried Chicken is a standout — punchy, well-spiced, and served with a kickass sambal belacan that lingers in the best way possible. The Curry Mussels in sambal butter are dangerously addictive, rich with depth and just enough heat to keep you reaching for another.
If you’re a fan of roasted pork, don’t sleep on the Roasted Pork Belly — featuring crackling that shatters satisfyingly with every bite, it’s only available in limited portions, so order early or risk missing out.
For something a little different, the Kra Pow Mee Tai Mak is a creative twist on the Thai basil classic, swapping out the usual rice for mee tai mak and delivering a rendition that’s wholly its own. And for a brilliant beer snack, the Shimeji Mushrooms tossed in mala seasoning hits the spot — earthy, numbing, and utterly moreish.
Value for Money
For a craft beer taproom, the pricing is refreshingly reasonable. The Asian fusion dishes punch well above their price point, making it easy to order generously without the guilt. Factor in the affordability of the daytime coffeeshop offerings, and Orh Gao Peh Gao represents solid value across the board.
The Verdict
Whether you’re dropping by for a simple kaya toast breakfast or settling in for an evening of craft beers and bold Asian flavours, Orh Gao Peh Gao delivers on both fronts. It’s a concept that feels genuinely considered — and one that deserves a spot on your regular rotation.
