🍛 Review: The White Tiffin @ Esplanade Xchange – Nostalgic Bites with a Modern Twist

Located in the heart of Esplanade Xchange, The White Tiffin brings comforting Malaysian flavors to the CBD in a space that blends retro charm with a fast-casual setup. It’s a great pit stop for anyone craving familiar dishes with a touch of old-school flair—especially during a busy workday.

I tried the nasi lemak, which delivered on all fronts—fluffy, fragrant coconut rice, crispy fried chicken, and sambal with just the right amount of heat. The mee siam was also satisfying, with a good balance of sweet and tangy notes, generously topped with tau pok and egg.

The beef rendang was a highlight—tender, flavorful, and served in a classic metal pot that added a nostalgic touch. It had a rich, deep spice without being too overpowering. I also ordered the sampler plate, which turned out to be a smart choice—it let me taste a little of everything, perfect if you’re new to the menu or just feeling indecisive.

Drinks and desserts didn’t disappoint either. The iced milk tea was smooth and fragrant, and the Nyonya kuih were soft, chewy, and not overly sweet—just the way I like them.

Service was brisk and friendly, ideal for the lunch crowd. Prices are very reasonable considering the location, portions, and quality of food.

Verdict:
The White Tiffin at Esplanade Xchange is a go-to spot for Malaysian comfort food done right. Whether you’re grabbing a quick solo lunch or sampling a bit of everything with friends, it hits the spot. Don’t miss the beef rendang and sampler plate!
