New Singaporean Restaurant To Open In Livermore

LIVERMORE, CA — Killiney Kopitiam is Singapore’s oldest cafe. It is now being franchised in the United States, and one of the first restaurants will be in Livermore.

Singapore native Amanda Toh Steckler is Killiney Kopitiam’s master franchisee for the U.S. Her goal, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, is to take Singaporean food mainstream in America.

The Killiney Kopitiam menu includes curries, nasi lemak, and roti prata with an eye toward expanding selections.

The first Killiney Kopitiam in the U.S. opened in Palo Alto last year. There, patrons can watch Singaporean coffee being made from traditional long-spouted kettles.

Steckler plans to open restaurants in Livermore, Walnut Creek, Cupertino, Santa Clara, and Mountain View this year. Once she conquers the Bay Area, she will expand to Southern California and Washington.

Her goal includes a stunning 62 locations over the next eight years.

The Livermore restaurant will be at 3010 West Jack London Blvd. An exact opening date has not been announced.
