The Hidden Gem
On Lorong Panggung
Since 1956, the locals nicknamed Lorong Panggung “Little Ghost Lane” due to its popularity as a site of congregation for seedy people who frequented gambling halls, opium dens and brothels. It has also been said that the moniker was derived from the Cantonese residents who lived on the street calling their young children “little ghosts”

Culture of Ho Kow
Ho Kow Hainam Kopitiam inherit the traditional Hainanese culture breakfast into the urban area of Kuala Lumpur. We insist to use the most traditional way to make our coffee and also prepare for our food delights. Mr Ho Kow took the helm of the tea shop, he redesigned the menu and decided to sell only one main course each day a change that brought more customers to his doors, always eager for more and for something different.
In May 2018, the owners of the storied coffee shop moved out of its 60-year-old address after receiving an eviction order. They decided to resume embr: The by san berwe business in a shophouse next to the original one, to the delight of the kopitiam’s loyal customers. And with the third and fourth generations behind the coffee bar, the legacy of Ho Kow Hainam Kopitiam lives on.

Love their curry chicken!
Absolutely love the curry chicken. Perfect combination with their fried noodles. Do get their fresh Kampong eggs (RM8.20) if you were there.

Good service attitude
In love with their service!
Just need to be cautious as the staircases were quite high and slightly dark to see. (Salute the waiters & waitresses who go up and down to serve the customers!)

Hainan Coffee must try!
Even though I am the local, this is my first time to Ho Kow Hainam Kopitiam. This restaurant is run by own family members and now is 4th generation. Nasi lemak is full of coconut milk fragrance. I like the sambal with the great harmony of spicy- and saltiness. Not to the forget crunchy nuts and anchovies. You must order the Hainam coffee. Is really really good to serve with tosted bread and half boil egg. Expected a long long queue. Please do not park illegally.
Nice coffee and toast
the place has a very organised system. Take a number, based on how many person in your party, then peruse the menu and write down your order. By the time your number is called, you can place yr order straight away. Their coffee and toast is highly recommended, as do the nasi lemak

Good Ambience
Waited 20 mins at noon time and worth it after got the nice food and drinks. They have a systematic queue system.
Food is above my expectations, the halfboiled eggs are perfectly boiled. I enjoyed both the nasi lemak ayam and the chicken horfun, both are priced above average but portion are very very generous.
