Went on Tuesday evening with la famiglia, heeding my aunt's recommendation that their toast is pretty good.
Big mistake.
The crowd was thin, what with it being a weekday, but the moment we stepped in, we were handed an order chit with almost half of their items struck out.
My mom promptly said, "It's a Tuesday, the markets are operating, what's your excuse?"
The waiter just gave her a helpless look.
Trying to make do with what's available, we ordered a couple of the recommendations:
OLDTOWN Ipoh Chicken Hor Fun ($4.90): Ipoh happens to be the matriarch's hometown, & this is an insult to its memory. When queried on how it tasted, she replied that it was indescribable. I took a sip of the soup & had to agree... it was indescribably bad. Besides which, if the dish is going to come out looking like total ****, please don't take such a nice photo for the menu. I do know that 'the photos are for illustration purposes only' or some such thing, but this oughta be considered criminal misrepresentation.
OLDTOWN Curry Mee ($4.90): Ordered two bowls of the stuff, one came short of ingredients when compared to the other. Really, there's a hawker centre at Thomson that sells better at a lower price. The one at the hawker centre behind Chinatown Point would murder this one any day of the week.
Nissin Noodle with Chicken Ham & Egg ($3.50): If one could actually get instant noodles wrong... it would've taken a lot of effort. Thankfully, this came out ok.
Kaya & Butter Toast (Double) ($1.60), Peanut Butter/Strawberry Puree Thick Toast ($2.20), Omega Soft Boiled Eggs On Toast ($2.50): Passable, just barely. If these came hot off the stove, I'm a day-old chick.
OLDTOWN White Milk Tea ($1.60 for Hot, $1.90 for Cold): Their single redeeming feature, which disappeared in a single gulp.
I'm pretty sure that both their Nasi Rendang Chicken & Nasi Lemak Special are great stuff... as a matter of fact, towards the end of our meal, we noticed that the latter dish was available again after some deliveries were made.
Too little, too late, this joint's just about condemned in our eyes.
Went over to Mingles next door just to get over the trauma (read my review on the joint).
Jack, please stick to making movies, aiight?

Dropped by Old Town White Coffee one Saturday evening as my aunt wanted to try out their white coffee. We heard that this is a very well-known established brand in Malaysia, comparable to Singapore's Ya Kun!
As expected, we were greeted by a Saturday evening crowd.. with kids running around and people who had just finished their beach activities at East Coast Park.
We went in to the shop and there was no sign telling us to wait to be served to our seats so we thought it was self-service and we could choose any seats we wanted. As the cafe was full house, me, my sis and my Grandma waited at 3 different tables for the customers to finish.
A waitress then came to ask if we were waiting for seats and told us to wait at the entrance. After ten minutes, we were finally given a seat meant for 4 persons when we had 5. The space between each table was so cramp! However, we later changed to a longer 6-seater sofa seat which was more comfortable and suitable for us to dine in.
We ordered these items: - 2 Nanyang Kopi-O - 1 Iced Chocolate - 1 Iced Blended Milk Tea - 2 sets of Nasi Rendang Chicken - 1 Ipoh Chicken Hor Fun - 1 French Toast - 1 Kaya Butter Toast - 1 Garlic Toat - 1 Peanut Butter Thick Toast
ruffnooka is right about them not having many items on their menu available for customers.
My aunt & mother at first wanted their famous White Coffee but the waitress informed us that all White Coffee drinks are sold out! They had to change their orders.
And 2 of our toasts ordered initially also had to be changed to other items. The manager even had to come to our table and cancel all those items that were not available!
The food soon came and the Nasi Rendang Chicken was really good! The rendang and chilli, I believe they handmade themselves. The Ipoh Hor Fun was quite little but the soup was very tasty and those who can take spicy stuff, add in the red chopped chilli!
My aunt complimented them on their toasts cos they were made on the spot and the kaya was fresh! Their bread were toasted to perfection too.
We spent a total of $50 for this meal and I think it is quite reasonable but my Grandma thinks otherwise! She feels that cofee & bread should not cost that expensive.
But I would recommend this place to others because the food served is special and the taste does not lose to restaurants!
