Ya Kun Kaya Toast

Chinatown & the CBD


Though it's now part of a chain, this airy, retro coffeeshop is an institution, and the best way to start the day the Singaporean way. The speciality is buttery kaya (coconut jam) toast, dipped in runny eggs (add white pepper and a swirl of soy sauce) and washed down with strong kopi (coffee). Enjoy a giggle at the Singaporean humour posters.

The outdoor seating is a good spot for rush-hour people watching.
