  1. Kedai Kopi Hin Loi @ Tg.Aru Township is located opposite Tg. Aru Post Office. The morning session has Dim Sum (Big Pau, Siew Mai, Spinach Siew Mai, Steamed Chili spicy bean paste fried chicken claw, Chee Mei, Century Egg Siew Mai – all not salty), Stir fried Bee Hoon/Tuaran Mee/Yellow Noodle (man by an elderly couple), Hainan Kaya-Planta Roti Khawin (Kaya-Planta Toast) and a Mee Soup/Curry Laksa stall. In the evening session that have a Ginger marinated Fried Chicken and Fish Balls on skewers.

  2. We thought of trying something different but discovered that Kedai Kopi Hin Loi actually served 9 types of frozen dim sum from Foo Phing…LOL
