2026年1月1號--店休。January 1, 2026 CLOSED.
讀書時為數不多的電視娛樂之一，是追看新加坡的英語情境喜劇。故事講述發生在組屋區---Tan Ah Teck (林益民飾）一家人的煩惱。在每個單元的最後幾分鐘一家之主Tan Ah Teck都會問家人：（今天）這故事發生的寓意是甚麼？然後在每集完結之前下一個註解，笑中有淚。
居鑾壁畫街五脚基即將熄燈，而下一間點亮街區的迷人小店將在街上的組屋區亮起。
關於選址沒有過多掙扎，只在幾個地點之間想像出最可以安放五脚基的那個畫面。當地點傳開後大部分人跟當初知道我們要在壁畫街開咖啡館時一樣，都覺得不太合適。
可是如果侷限於適合才開，也許就不會有五脚基咖啡館的出現。
對於離開壁畫街去一個每天都有如同Tan Ah Teck一家人的喜怒哀樂上演的組屋區經營一間咖啡館即將發生的人事物，我們是即期待😌也期待🤔還期待😆。
2025到此為止，我們2026見。
Back in my school days, one of the few TV shows I watched was Singapore’s English sitcom "Under One Roof". It told stories about the daily ups and downs of the Tan Ah Teck family living in a public housing estate. At the end of each episode, the father, Tan Ah Teck (played by Moses Lim), would ask his family: “So, what’s the moral of the story today?” Then he’d share a little reflection — bittersweet, funny, and real.
Soon, the lights at our café on Kluang Mural Street will dim, and a new cozy little shop will light up the neighborhood — this time, in a nearby housing area.
Choosing the new location wasn’t much of a struggle; we simply imagined where the spirit of Kaki Lima would feel most at home. When word got out, most people reacted the same way they did when we first opened in Mural Street — “That doesn’t seem like the right place for a café.”
But if we only ever opened in places that seemed right, Kafé Kaki Lima might never have existed.
As we prepare to leave Mural Street and open in a lively housing area — a place full of daily joys, sorrows, and laughter, just like the Tan Ah Teck family — our anticipation overflowing😌🤔😆.
Bye 2025, see you again in 2026.
