Koay Teow Soup Cintra Street
On a whim, Maxie and Will swing by Koay Teow Soup on Cintra Street, a humble alley stall serving kuey teow th’ng for nearly 30 years, passed down to the second generation, and beloved by early-rising locals. What starts as a casual stop becomes a lesson in simplicity: a delicate yet deeply flavourful chicken broth, simmered using old hen for punch and personality. Sipping beside busy mornings on Cintra Lane, they reflect on how this Teochew classic can also be found in the Chinese community in Jakarta, stripped back, soulful, and always rooted in connection.
For both chefs, this unplanned breakfast lingers far longer than expected.
