I saw a YouTube video about things to do and try in Singapore, and this place was on the list, so I had to check it out! The menu was a bit confusing at first, but a local girl was super helpful and explained everything, which was so kind …

The experience starts with thin, crispy slices of toast spread generously with kaya, and topped with a slice of butter that melts perfectly between the warm layers. Served alongside soft-boiled eggs, it’s truly a unique way to enjoy …
Maggie Cheung
Really cool place.
The toast set meal that comes with 4 slices of toast with jam and butter, 2 runny eggs and coffee/tea is such a great way to start the day. …

Here on Friday before 1.30pm. No crowd when entered. Dislike their Cashier at entrance, obstruction to entry and exit both times. It’s cold, grrrrrr. Fans on near aircon 🤷♀️ Ate in much discomfort. But… their coffee and crackers with butter and Kaya are good. Never 偷工减料 👍。Staff are ok too. 没人潮时、off the fan/fans la 😬🙄,冷死人 🥴😖😫。 …
Ivy Chen
The breakfast is delicious and very local. We love the toast and coffee, as well as the eggs.
