AEON Cheras Selatan is my dad's favourite haunt. He always liked to eat inside of the shopping centre, so for a change, we decided to head outside of the mall but somewhere nearby. Hence, chanced upon Hailam Kopitiam and decided to give it a try. It feels just like another 'Old Town' joint.

We were there for lunch, so we ordered a couple of dishes to try, and coffee as well.
 |
| hailam (海南) coffee |
 |
| cold coffee half drunk |
 |
| coffee tri-color (the black colored stuff is gula melaka) |
My mom ordered the 'kat zai suen mui' drink, which is literally 'lime and sour plum' drink. It's a must have drink everytime, I'm in Malaysia.

| lime and sour plum |
 |
| this version has a lot of plums, so its a tad too salty! |
My mom and sis had the chicken chop and fried fish dish respectively, while my dad ordered chicken rice.

The best value for money turned out to be the chicken sandwich (@RM5.80). The prices here for the food items are between RM6 ~ RM14. I didn't like the coffee here. Would much prefer the real kopitiam's 'hainam' coffee with fragrant roasted buttery taste...nostalgic.
