Thanks to tons of reviews by various blogs,they're now doing such a roaring trade.
It used to be a nice tucked away alleyway,with cool winds navigating past evesdropping on taxi drivers,office workers and old timers as they reminisced about their childhood days spent nursing that hot cuppa from a pipping saucer.
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU,that is gone with the wind.Outsiders are a major irritant,when they trepass on our favourite makan stops.Now one is left to stand around looking like a fool waiting for a space.From a relaxing spot,it has turned a depressing fullstop.Yall have turned it into a warzone.it used to have a slow and steady trickle of customers unlike the battlezone today.
We tend to turn the other way and head to other comfort zones just to avoid having to sit next to a table of dslr totting sluts accosted by their trigger happy pimps -_-
If you must know,not many of those blogs have told you about that ONE toasted bread on the menu that is a must eat which no one orders, except for locals in the know(people from Butterworth and especially Ipoh too will be in the dark with regards to this one).
You've all been recommended the wrong ordinary variety of toasts.And NO,I'm not talking about the wholemeal.They ciplak Oldtown on that one.
No,you're not getting it out from me either.My mouth remains shut,zipped,locked on this one.
Why bother putting this up?
It's not me but others that swear that this is nothing to shout about.
Well I suppose it's the same thing when I made my way all the way to THAT famous Terengganu kopitiam and ended up utterly dissapointed that I've tasted better elsewhere especially in Air Itam(again,don't ask where,I will not tell).
Apparently,throughout the Peninsula, the Hainanese have been long ago overtaken by another elite breed of coffeeshop owners spawning from the little town of Sitiawan known as the BSO (Bicycle Shop Owner) race.The very people that churn out the Sitiawan sauce we so love to dip our dimsum into.
The Hainanese excell at coffee,the BSO's(I'm not sure if they're called Foochows but this is the term I learnt from my elders cos of the funny language they speak on top of their annual migration back to Sitiawan) do awesome teas and chams.
So if you were to bring guests from the mainland who swear by the " peninsular malaysia-infiltrated-by-sitiawan-kopitiams" version to Toh Soon,you'd better be informed that they will remain unimpressed.
Bring them to Toh Soon and these loyalists will huff,put their snout up and state that "this is nothing special"."What else have they got?"
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Anyway,this place serves standard breakfast kopitiam fare where half boiled eggs(did you know that we are the only country in the world that serves this?) are perfect.
The 4 unique things about this place is

The 4 unique things about this place is
- it's breakfast all day.That's what makes it special.
- somehow the coffee here is accentuated by the cool air along the corridor in which it is situated but if you like stronger more robust coffee,real kau kopi can only be found in the district of Air Itam.
- they have that secret toast which clueless outsiders never order which is GREAT (woohoo!)news for locals like me.As for the other toasts I know a fantabulous place with better kaya elsewhere
- they use charcoal
- Last time it used to be nice and quiet.Today you can forget experiencing this.
