Kopi Roti #KeepRising with New Look, New Products and Upbeat Campaign

Whenever my husband would do a work-related visit to Singapore, he would ask me what I want for pasalubong,  Whenever I think of Singapore, the first thing that would come to mind is coffee bun.  However, when that situation arises, I would always tel  him, "Nah!"  I guess, he doesn't need to because he doesn't need to buy them there since we can buy coffee buns here, and other Singaporean breakfast treats.  

Everyone's familiar with Kopi Roti,  the Singaporean coffee shop brand that serves remarkable coffee buns, teh tarik and kopi C/O/milk, However, behind the restaurants' success still means innovation.

This was made clearer when I attended the grand reopening of their Katipunan, QC branch as they have unveiled the fresh new look of their stores and Katipunan happened to be the first to have the makeover.

The Rich Rice at Nasi Lemak

NASI LEMAK, as Wikipedia would interpret, is a dish, for it's namesake, the best-selling dish (and Malaysia's national dish)  they serve from their menu.   Considered also as Malay's national heritage for its versatility and promising eating indulgence, which happened to be primarily a breakfast meal but as now considered served anytime.   Food-hawkers in Singapore serve this dish mainly on a banana leaf and have been one of the dishes which got famous in the same country as well as Malaysia, Brunei, and Southern Thailand.   

In Manila, Nasi Lemak is home to some of the best Singaporean cuisine. Nasi a Malay word meaning rice, Lemak, on the other hand means rich, consequently,  rich rice.   My husband would always boast about his dining experience when his employers invited him over at Singapore to sign some contracts, and he would tell me how much he liked the rice meal wrapped in banana leaves, never knowing it was the famed Nasi Lemak. 

Unfold the leaf to discover a portion of fragrant rice that’s been cooked in coconut milk, a small deep-fried fish, some fried anchovies, a slice of plain omelette, some fresh cucumber and the all-important sambal (a paste made from chillies, dried shrimp and spices).
