QQ Kopitiam

G. Yong 2 years ago

The word “Kopitiam” is synonymous with authentic Singaporean food. Came here from an area devoid of SG or MY’sian food options. Blew away by the wok hei (wok fire) skills of Uncle, which means the Char Kway Teow is very good. If Uncle was still in SG, he would have a line round the block of the hawker centre, he would be legend. Perhaps Ah Loong may even be in the queue

I heard many good words about Singapore food and felt very interested to try it. This is a small restaurant featuring signature Singapore dishes, like laksa - a very flavorful noodle soup with balanced creamy and spicy tastes. It’s so unique and very different from other southeastern Asian food. I felt I want to visit Singapore one day after eating in here. The dining area is small but clean (no ice water provided though). But given the food quality and sweet price point, I wouldn’t expect more.

Me and my Neighbors were all quarantined for 2 weeks due to COVID. We finally all tested negative. We love ethic foods so we decided to celebrate by visiting different restaurants. I wanted Malaysian/Singaporean food. We already celebrated going out to diner to a Thai Restaurant the previous night. So, we decided to do lunch. The Malaysian/Singaporean Restaurants that I used to go were all closed down due to COVID. Luckily, one of the neighbors is from Malaysia. She also could not locate the Malaysian Restaurants she used to go. This COVID did a number on these restaurants. She called around and asked her Malaysian/Singaporean friends. Two friends recommended QQ Kopitiam in Pasadena. So, we went. We live in Long Beach area. Pasadena is a good 50 minutes drive and we hit two accidents on the way. The restaurant is small. Parking is on the streets. However, the food is great. This is not a fancy restaurant but quite authentic. This is the kind of food you would get in the streets of Malaysia or Singapore. We ordered Singapore Laksa, Indonesian Fried Rice, Char Kway Teow, Hokkien Mee, Fried Tofu and Shrimp Egg Roll for a party of four. We also have 4 ice coffees and

Excellent and tasty singaporean and indonesian food. Their singaporean char kway teow (#11) and laksa (10) are really good. Price is very resonable and location is convenient across from Pasadena city college

We dropped by for lunch. Is right across the street from Pasadena City College. 1 hour Street parking only. They cater to the students and workers around the area. We couldn't stay long because Pasadena parking enforcement is very active here so 1 hour means you can't really be having much of a conversation with any gatherings. We tried the laksa and char away teow. Both were flavorful and is close enough to what you get in Singapore. No fried pieces of pork fat here. Laksa taste from the $4 packs from the Asian supermarket is stronger than what's served here for $9.95. char away teow is not using the dark sweet thick soy sauce used in Singapore. No cockles (blood clams, "ham"). Kopi at $2.95 is not thick nor strong enough like what you get in Singapore. Kopi-C tasted a little too much like instant. Evaporated milk taste was present. Still a good place to get something similar to what you get in Singapore. Much better than the fake panasia place.
