Did you know? Started in 1956 at Niven Road, the Old Chang Kee store back then was selling mostly, cuttlefish balls, fish balls, spring rolls, and curry puffs. Years later, in 2018, Old Chang Kee returned and opened its flagship coffee house at its original location! This iconic establishment has stood the test of time, offering us a retreat into the past while tantalizing our taste buds with a delightful array of traditional flavors that we have all come to love since 1956.
