Value Set A ($4.80) - Kaya Toast with Butter Set
The set consists of 2 pieces of crispy toasts with kaya and butter spread on, 2 half boiled eggs and a choice of coffee or tea. It is one of the most popular sets commonly ordered by most. The toast although crispy and light, but tastewise still a far cry from how the founder used to make.

Overall food is not bad and served quite fast. I would prefer that the staff would give the table a quick wipe as it is quite sticky.

For the full review, go to herpenandfork.blogspot.sgWe ordered 2 sets - the French Toast and Kaya Toast. The 2 sets (1 coffee, 1 tea, 2 sets of boiled eggs, 4 portions of French Toast and 4 portions (squares) of Kaya Butter Toast in total) were just right for us. The boiled eggs came looking perfect in my opinion - 2 pretty yolks wobbling and encased within a translucent layer of egg white, just like the way boiled eggs should be.

We ordered 2 sets - the French Toast and Kaya Toast. The 2 sets (1 coffee, 1 tea, 2 sets of boiled eggs, 4 portions of French Toast and 4 portions (squares) of Kaya Butter Toast in total) were just right for us. The boiled eggs came looking perfect in my opinion - 2 pretty yolks wobbling and encased within a translucent layer of egg white, just like the way boiled eggs should be. I am not a fan of boiled eggs, but I tried a little of mum's and I must say the texture was great. Half-boiled eggs lovers will definitely not be disappointed with Ya Kun's version. They got the technique down pat, a quick peek at the consistency of the eggs at other tables proved it.

The teh siew dai (tea with less sugar) hit the spot for me. Just the right level of sweetness. I didn't try the kopi (coffee), but my parents both said it was good.

Now for the Kaya Toast. It came warm and toasted crispy. The kaya and generous portion of butter complemented well and were evenly spread for all four pieces. Definitely lived up to its name, though I must say there are times when they do fail to deliver if you are unlucky.

Ya Kun French Toast 

As for the French Toast, it came lukewarm. The toast was portioned into 8 cubes so it was easy to handle, along with a side of kaya served separately. Sadly, the French Toast was underwhelming. There was no eggy flavor or any fragrance to it, and only the 'prints' on the bread and slight sogginess gave a hint that it should be French Toast.

Service-wise, this branch tends to be slow at clearing the tables. On the few occasions I have came, there are always cups and plates stacked on the tables waiting to be cleared. The cleanliness also needs to be improved. 

Visit for the signature kaya toast. If you want a better environment though, it would be good to go for the other branches.

Recently the outlet at Northpoint Shopping Centre has gone through a round of upgrading and looks much brighter now. This morning on the way to work, I remember I have a voucher for a cup of iced coffee or iced tea from Ya Kun Kaya Toast which is going to expiry at the end of the month. I decide to redeem it for a cup of iced tea for takeaway for the way to the bus interchange. The redemption process at the cashier counter is quite fast and smooth.

This place cooks up really traditional Singapore style bread and butter and coffee and tea.They have all the local foods such as: all kinds of toasts with kaya, cheese or pork floss.I had to have their kaya toast with butter (and a hot coffee/tea)...Such simple food, but it's so delicious...I can have them everyday for breakfast or snacks. Should order a half-boiled egg since it is the best for breakfast since you can swallow easily at one shot.

Ohh, new Item from Ya Kun Kaya Toast. They are introducing Kaya Balls selling at $3 for 8 pieces. Slightly on the high side, but for Ya Kun Kaya. It is worth it. The nice fragrance of Kaya that melts in the mouth. It's a snack which my parents bought for me near the Ang Mo Kio food centre but it is no longer there...The packaging which was given to me as I asked for a take away. ;)Suggestion: It will be good if Ya Kun offer different flavours like Peanut, Cheese etc. Or perhaps a mixed flavour

Suggestion: It will be good if Ya Kun offer different flavours like Peanut, Cheese etc. Or perhaps a mixed flavour balls for customers to choose from.

Ya kun may be famous for alot of things but their kaya toast is definitely the talk of the town. Slices of bread that are toasted to perfection; neither too soft nor hard with melted butter and a generous spread of kaya to make it a winner. This is definitely one of my favourite places for breakfast. However, I do recommend not waiting too long before getting down to business as the toast does have a way of turning cold and soggy which affects the taste by a notch. Best eaten hot with a good cup

Best eaten hot with a good cup of coffee. Their ice blended drinks are pretty good too if u feel like a chilled drink during a hot morning. I especially like their horlicks ice blended. It might be a little pricey at over $3 but its great to gulp down on a scorching day!

Price paid for Ice blended Horlicks with whipped cream + Kaya Toast (2 slices) = $5.30. Highly recommended: 9/10

Decided to try out Ya Kun Toast for breakfast one morning. Having walked past it for so many times, it is my first time there. It wan't a pleasant breakfast though.I guess we were a bit too early and the cafe was really hot behind the glass pane. Or the air con was not working.Ordered 2 half-boiled eggs with coffee and 2 slices of peanut butter with kaya bread. The eggs were nice and warm. The toast was abit too hard to my liking.

I'm sure many of you have all had a cup of coffee or teh at YaKun, but the last time I went there, I decided to try something different, which is their Frostyz, an ice blended drink with a base of your chosen flavour. They have quite a few flavours, but I chose the Tea flavour, because I love tea. Honestly, the outcome of the drink depends on who the drink maker is, as ice blended drinks are very delicate; blend too little = lots of ice chunks instead of liquid, blend too much = so diluted.

Honestly, the outcome of the drink depends on who the drink maker is, as ice blended drinks are very delicate; blend too little = lots of ice chunks instead of liquid, blend too much = so diluted. I have had this drink twice at the yishun YaKun branch, the first time I had it, it was bursting full of strong flavours of tea, and blended nicely. However, the second time I bought it, the person had blended it so much so, it was just a pool of liquid tea. So, I recommend this drink, even though it's quite pricey, $3.20 for an ice blended drink, but remember with all your heart, when you order, tell them you'd like it not to be blended for such a long period of time.
Oh yes, there's a choice of whipped cream on top the drink as well.

A start out with Ya kun make a fulfilling breakfast


"Da Pao" the set A it on the way to school~

Set A includes 2 Kaya toast, 2 half-boiled egg and a cup of drink.

The drink i think can order either tea or coffee. Not very such but i ordered"Kopi" hehe...need a cup for school later.

I am surprised by the way they "da pao" the eggs for me. The half boiled eggs which have already cracked for me, were packed in a small plastic containers with soy-sauce and pepper put readily in for me. When i first saw, the impression is like " Wow" ... this is because, usually the coffee shop don't pack the eggs in this way as what they do is only put the eggs into the plastic bag which they used to pack the coffee. Thus, i still need to find a place seat down and find pepper to make the egg, quite a hassle.

The bread, their signature, needless for me to explain how delicious it was
