The stall
Lawrence Tan changed careers in 2016
He brokered petroleum before he sold kopi. That year he took unit #B1-49 in the basement of Golden Mile Food Centre and put an espresso machine where the coffee sock would go.

Freshly Grounded Beans
Nanyang kopi, pulled like espresso
The blend is Indonesian Robusta and Colombian Arabica, roasted the old way with sugar and margarine. It is ground in small batches at the stall and pulled two cups at a time, with a chestnut crema on top.
No latte art. Thick white cups, the same as the kopitiam next door.
