My friend's mum started 1 few months ago. She said the initial cost is around 300k. The food is ok, but due to too many cafe in that area, I see their business is not that good. But at least it is still better than IRC in that area. The reason i go frequent that place is because for the past 2 mths my hse don't have internet connection and Hailam kopitiam got free wifi + power plug for every table (unlike old town who don't provide power plug, for fear that you will sit there whole day with just 1 cup of Old Town White Coffee )
