Kimly originally started out at as a coffeeshop in Yishun in 1990.
If you’re staying near a HDB kopitiam or coffeeshop, chances are you probably had a meal or takeaway from a Kimly Zi Char (which literally means cook-fry in dialect) food stall, with its 27 outlets across the island. Typically, a Zi Char stall sells dishes like fried rice, hor fun, vegetables, meat dishes like sweet & sour pork and seafood dishes like fish and crab. You can have single serving options like fried rice or sweet & sour pork with rice or order a variety of dishes for sharing or larger gatherings.
I stay near a Kimly Zi Char outlet and have mostly ordered takeaway in the form of Grabfood self-pick up. My general impression is their dishes are decent and I usually order the 2-person combo sets, typically two dishes with a choice of white rice or fried rice, accompanied with drinks.
