It does seem that there is an ongoing trend of beverage stalls serving up specialty coffee within hawker centres of the late — something that was popularised by the opening of Generation Coffee which now operates locations at Tekka Centre, Blk 216 Bedok Food Centre, Hong Lim Food Centre, Tanjong Pagar Plaza Food Centre and Bendemeer Food Centre. This also seemed to have inspired the opening of other establishments such as that of Koffee Kollective at Tanjong Pagar Plaza Food Centre, as well as that of Kopi Folks Club at MacPherson Food Centre which also serves up local Nanyang-style Kopi brewed using the espresso machine alongside specialty coffee offerings and more. Enter UNODOSE; an establishment that is conceptually similar to that of Kopi Folks Club and Generation Coffee that had opened its doors recently at Beo Crescent Food Centre. Being a stall that serves up beverages, the menu is being split into categories segmented into Traditional, Specialty and Others.
As mentioned earlier, the Kopi at UNODOSE is being brewed using the espresso machine; this makes it similar to the likes of how Nanyang-style Kopi is being served at stalls such as Kopi More, Generation Coffee, Lim’s Kopi, Star Coffee, Kopi Folks Club, QYLS Coffee etc. — UNODOSE mentions that the Traditional line-up of coffee is being brewed using Robusta beans originating from Vietnam. The Kopi here does look and taste pretty familiar to the ones served up by Generation Coffee, with the Kopi being served in a white porcelain cup and coming with an ice-cream stick that adds as a stirrer — the flavours of the cuppa being punchy and smoky that is what one would expect out of Robusta beans. Opting for our cuppa to come with normal sweetness, the condensed milk adds a sweetness to balance things out and round it off pretty nicely. Looking forward to be back to give their Spro Soda a go some time soon!
