I dropped into Danny’s Kopitiam for lunch and left with the unshakable feeling that I’d just eaten at the happiest intersection between Penang and paradise. The place hums with charm — part café, part time machine, and wholly delightful. The combination hor fun was so good I briefly considered proposing to it, and the char kway teow had more personality than most dinner parties I’ve attended. It’s smoky, saucy, and slightly indecent — just the way noodles should be. But the real star of the show — the prima donna of the dessert world — is the sago pudding. It arrived modestly, glistening like a diplomat’s handshake, and tasted like summer got a postgraduate degree in comfort. The service? Impeccable. The kind of warmth that makes you feel like you’ve wandered into a relative’s kitchen — the one who actually likes you. Danny’s Kopitiam isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an argument for joy. And like all great arguments, I left full, happy, and entirely convinced.

We ordered the signature Curry Chicken Kapitan and Char Kway Teow (both highlighted with the chef hat sign), and they were outstanding. The Curry Chicken Kapitan featured a rich, aromatic sauce with tender chicken pieces, slow-cooked in spices, lemongrass, and coconut — perfect with steamed rice. The Char Kway Teow was smoky, flavorful, and well-balanced with prawns, squid, and bean sprouts, showcasing great wok-hei. A truly satisfying meal and definitely a place I’d recommend coming back to.

We finally had a chance to visit Danny’s kopitiam - we went on Friday night - ordering KL hokkien mee, prawn mee , char keow Teow. It was delicious so we went again today for lunch . This time we ordered popiah, wat tan hor and Fried rice. Hands down - best popiah in Melbourne . We were surprised they could match Malaysia’s popiah. The owner, Danny was so friendly . He and his staff kept the place clean and pleasant . We took away curry chicken , Chee Keok Cho/ pork trotter, Bak Chang and kangkung fried in belacan. It’s so yummy …will be back next week

It is always good experience dining in here. Warmth hearty food, especially today's curry laksa, it isn't the very strong taste of broth, it is balanced in everything.

I was here today with my family in search of "bak chor mee." It was nice enough if you are away from Singapore. However, we found the char kway teow and the KL Hokkien Mee to be very good - even though the former lacked blood cockles. And the Teh Tarik here was also very good.
