Simi Kopitiam

Kopitiams are everywhere in Singapore but where once they were run by individuals and reflected their quirks and idiosyncracies, many have now become cookie cutter outlets dispensing cheap food and no service. Our documentary takes a sneak peek into the lives of three kopitiam owners who still run their own spaces. We see their love for their trade and hear about their struggles to stay afloat in the cut-throat F&B business. In an era where chain restaurants and curated cafes reign supreme, these owners insist on pressing on. And what they serve is more than a simple cup of kopi. Sometimes it’s a refuge. Sometimes it’s a memory. Most of the time, it’s a sense of belonging.

透過觀察三所經營傳統古早咖啡店,結合了他們每個獨特溫暖的經營方式。發現所販賣的不只是誠意十足的飲料與食物,更是撫慰人心的暖流。那是一份回憶,也是一份歸屬感...
