Restaurant Tiong An (Tiong An Coffee House)

While exploring the eateries in Taman Perling area, we discovered Restoran Tiong An as one of our breakfast places in Johor Bahru. Every visit was present with their friendly servers and quick service.

With a brown colour theme and cement screed flooring, Tiong An had given diners like us a nostalgic feel of an old-school coffee house.

Interior

Should you look around in the Coffee House, you will notice some old-school items like this that is eye-catching to our eyes.

If you are keen on some sweets or even biscuits, do help yourselves from the jars. Tiong An offers them free of charge for their customers.

Self Service Area

During a period, they were serving free Cheng Tng and Barley Water to their customers.

One of us was missing this traditional gem biscuits and took this for sharing.

While such beverages in Singapore seem rare and uncommon, it's the reverse in Malaysia. Perk up your morning with a traditional cup of butter coffee like this!

Butter Coffee 古香奶油咖啡 - RM 4

While some of us is having coffee, some of us have tea too.

Tea

Kind of regretted ordering this drink as it was not the kind of Cendol we had in Singapore. There were 3 layers with the top portion being the Cendol Coconut Jelly, the middle with milk and the bottom with Gula Melaka. It tasted weird to me, especially on the milk portion.

Cendol 煎惹三色奶 - RM 8.50

How about having instant noodles in a claypot with egg added? You can try their version of Maggi Mee Goreng, either in spicy or non-spicy form.

A combination of Bee Hoon in Chicken Soup and I requested them to be served without chilli. The serving was rather plain with cabbages, boiled egg and chicken as ingredients, topped with roasted peanuts. Thai Lime was also given in the soup.

For so many trips here to Tiong An, we have been focusing on the similar bread and dishes till I decided to try out their Nasi Goreng even though its quite unusual that I will like to have such dish for breakfast. Well, let's do it. The Nasi Goreng is fragrant and fried in mixed vegetables, topped with sunny side up egg.
