Kong Heng & Kong Heng Square
Kong Heng Square
A long-established tea house in Old Town famous for satay bee hoon, bean sprout chicken and steamed egg custard, with a neighbouring old shophouse converted into a creative market and guesthouse.
Kong Heng is one of the most popular traditional tea houses in Old Town, with its stalls clustered together. Its signature dishes are charcoal-roasted white coffee, satay bee hoon, bean sprout chicken and steamed egg custard. The prewar shophouse beside the tea house has been converted into Kong Heng Square, which has handicraft shops, cafés and a weekend flea market, while the upper floors house an art hotel. It opens in the morning, and some stalls close in the afternoon. Weekend queues are long. It is about a three-minute walk from Concubine Lane.
Opening hours
