Tong Heng Coffee Shop at Berseh Food Centre
Tong Heng Coffee Shop at Berseh Food Centre
A long-running traditional coffee stall at Berseh Food Centre #02-65, known for robust Hainanese-style kopi, kaya toast, soft-boiled eggs and affordable breakfast sets from $4.
Kopi, Toast & Soft-Boiled Eggs
Tong Heng's appeal is straightforward: a traditional local breakfast at a price that still feels like hawker-centre food.
Its popular breakfast sets combine kaya butter toast or bread, two soft-boiled eggs and a cup of kopi or teh.
It is a simple combination, but the quality comes from getting each familiar element right — properly toasted bread, softly set eggs and coffee with enough body and aroma.
Robust and aromatic, with the kind of body Singapore coffee drinkers often describe as gaw.
Crisp toast or bread paired with kaya and butter for the sweet, creamy part of the breakfast.
Two softly cooked eggs complete the classic kopi-shop breakfast.
A Proper “Gaw” Cup of Kopi
One of the most noticeable things about Tong Heng is that the coffee does not taste thin or watery.
In local coffee language, “gaw” describes a cup with more body and strength. Tong Heng's kopi has a good roasted aroma and enough concentration to remain satisfying even when ordered with less sugar.
For kopi siew dai, the reduced sweetness is well balanced — not overly sweet, but also not so bitter that it overwhelms the coffee.
Tong Heng's Breakfast Sets
Tong Heng's current official menu lists several traditional breakfast combinations, with Sets A, B and C priced at $4.
Kaya butter toast + 2 soft-boiled eggs + kopi or teh.
Sandwich-style kaya butter toast + 2 soft-boiled eggs + kopi or teh.
Kaya butter bun + 2 soft-boiled eggs + kopi or teh.
Kaya butter Vietnamese loaf + 2 soft-boiled eggs + kopi or teh.
Simple Food, Made Properly
The coffee, tea, toast and bread are straightforward, but consistently well prepared. The attraction is not novelty — it is having familiar breakfast staples made properly.
The owner is pleasant, patient and approachable, adding the kind of personal service that still gives a traditional hawker stall its character.
A Long-Running Coffee Stall
Tong Heng's own history dates the coffee shop to 1989.
More than three decades later, traditional kopi, tea, kaya toast and soft-boiled eggs remain at the centre of the stall's identity.
In a food centre often associated with unusual heritage dishes, Tong Heng represents another important part of hawker culture: the everyday breakfast stall where the neighbourhood starts its morning over coffee, toast and eggs.

Why Tong Heng Belongs in the Berseh Story
Not every important hawker stall needs to serve a rare or elaborate dish. Coffee stalls are part of the everyday rhythm of Singapore's hawker centres.
Tong Heng's place at Berseh comes from the continuation of a familiar breakfast ritual: a strong cup of kopi, toast with kaya and butter, and soft-boiled eggs served simply and affordably.
Alongside Berseh's heritage dishes and newer food concepts, Tong Heng adds another layer to the centre's identity — the everyday morning culture of the neighbourhood.
