Have you ever been there?
When they first started, I used to hang out here having breakfast with friends (read T1’s friend’s moms) as I was always too lazy to drop T1 off at school, go home and then pick her up again 3 hours later. Instead, I’d spent many hours chatting about the Earth and the Sun and the Moon in this modernesque kopitiam.
We’d try all the local coffees they offered and every single dish on the menu. I think it was more that we were just addicts of Dewi’s Corner that automatically drew us to that same corner lot! The quality of F&B used to be a lot better but lately, it has deteriorated somewhat.
When my cousins were in town from Oz, we went to Chawan every day!

Half boiled eggs with kaya toast.
.

Nasi Lemak with deep fried chicken. Apparently, the chicken was out of this world. It possibly brought your heart out of this world too!
.

More kaya toast, anyone?
.

My favourite – plain packet nasi lemak.
.
Ever since the lack of consistency at Chawan since my cousins left, I have not gone back. Out of 5 times I’d been there, they just couldn’t get their teh tarik right. It was different EVERY SINGLE TIME. Eventually, I got fed up and bored of having to send it back. I’d still go for the food though. Not great but enough to satisfy a craving.

Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.


hey, those toasted bread!! i also wanna tar pau.. and the chicken seong pei is out of the world, memang.. so big and so much liew, that nasi doesnt look enough! 🙂
wow.. that’s a lot of toasted bread. eh.. lately i take teh panas instead of teh tarik. less ‘angin’ and it’s very comforting to have a very hot cup of tea.
Pass by there very often, but never been there before. They serve local food or kopitiam food. I always see it’s pack with people. Next time i should go there and try. The fried chicken look very good!!!
