The toast here is delicious 🤤. The bread is nicely toasted and they give a good spread of butter and kaya. Their service, location and cleanliness are great! Thumb up!! …

Ya Kun outlet in an oldies estate. Lots of old people coming here in the mornings, mostly regular customers. Kaya toast is a classic staple, along with the cup of kopi or tea. Do note that seating can be rather squeezy and the mall AC might be off in the morning.
