Modern Malaysian Kopitiam
Born on the Streets, Served from the Heart.
Welcome to Ong Lai Kopitiam
where Malaysia Kopitiam meets London energy.
From our beloved food stall beginnings to creating Ong Lai Kopitiam in Canary Wharf, our mission is simple: to bring the bold, comforting flavours of Malaysia to every plate and every heart.
A Taste of Malaysia
From sizzling satay to hearty nasi kerabu, enjoy dishes inspired by Kelantan’s vibrant street stalls, served with a modern touch in a relaxed kopitiam atmosphere. Our menu blends rustic, authentic flavours with casual comfort: finish your meal with a warm, syrupy koh loh mee or savour a pulled kopi tarik made from genuine Malaysian powder for that true kopitiam finish.
