Steamed and Roasted Breads at Siang Chiang Kopitiam

May 4th, 2008

Wake up in the morning, breakfast plays the most important role in bringing good mood for the whole day. If you have passion for food, a set of satisfying breakfast will surely make you happy, trilled, and energized. Last time when I was a kid, bread was hardly appreciated by me, as I had breads with butter spread for almost every schooling day during recess time. However, now that breads are not as cheap anymore :p after working, a set of mouth watering roasted breads or steamed breads (must be tasty la hehe) is undoubtedly a great breakfast.

Though wholemeal bread is undoubtedly more enriched in terms of nutrition facts, but it can never replace the role of the traditional white bread for making steamed bread with butter and kaya spreads. Combination of butter and kaya spreads is known locally as kahwin.

Where in Melaka is your favourite kopitiam?

When I’m back to Melaka during weekend, I like to visit Siang Chiang for breakfast. Siang Chiang is one of the authentic (non Halal) kopitiams in Melaka town, which is still preserving the heritage feel.

Though the shop house is undeniably an old building, but the interior hygiene is very well kept. The while tiles on the wall appear clean, and most importantly, the kitchen where breads, eggs and drinks are made is also hygienic and neat.

Pricing wise, very reasonable. My gf and I ordered a se of roasted breads, a set of steamed breads, a cup of tea, and a cup of Milo; all made up to RM4.90. Comparing to the modernized franchised kopitiams, really a big difference.

At Siang Chiang, there are a few more stalls rented to other hawkers to serve other types of food. Among all the stalls, the most notable one that I would like to mention, is the one that sells mee hun kuey (pan mee) and mee sua. I like to eat the mee sua in dry broth, which comes with 5 fresh prawns at RM3.50.

Address: 59, Jalan Munshi Abdullah, 75000 Melaka.

Siang Chiang is located on your right along the one-way Jalan Munshi Abdullah. It’s opposite Teck Trading Co. which sells electrical appliances. At the back of Siang Chiang is Melaka River, and Eye on Melaka is caught in sight at the opposite river side.
