OldTown White Coffee traces its roots to Ipoh, a city closely associated with Malaysian white coffee. The OldTown brand was established in 1999, selling its blend of instant 3-in-1 white coffee. It eventually expanded to cafes modelled after traditional Ipoh coffee shops.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Its cafes are halal-certified and serve its signature white coffee alongside Malaysian dishes and kopitiam staples such as nasi lemak, kaya toast, Hainanese chicken rice and noodles.<\/p>\n
OldTown entered Singapore’s cafe market in 2008 and eventually grew to around 10 outlets at its peak, with locations including Cineleisure Orchard, Square 2 Novena, East Coast Park and Changi Airport. The Kallang Wave Mall restaurant is currently the chain’s only remaining cafe in Singapore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Thank you for being part of our journey and for making OldTown Kallang Wave a special part of ours,” the company said. “While this chapter comes to an end, we hope our paths will cross again at one of our OldTown outlets across the region.”<\/p>\n
OldTown’s departure comes amid a string of F&B closures in Singapore, including hawker stall Golden Mile Special Yong Tau Foo, bar and grill Dan’s Steaks, halal steakhouse Tomahawk King and Swedish cafe Fika.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, while the Kallang Wave outlet marks the end of OldTown’s current cafe presence in Singapore, the company has left the door open to returning.<\/p>\n
In response to comments on Instagram, the brand said it would “continue to evaluate opportunities as part of its long-term business strategy” and did not rule out reopening in Singapore if a suitable opportunity arises.<\/p>\n
