INTRODUCTION & HISTORY
Yakun Kaya Toast
Singapore is one of the most expensive countries in the world. However, not many people know that they don’t have to break the bank just to savour delectable foods within the country. For instance, Yakun Kaya Toast is an icon of nostalgia for many Singaporeans and, furthermore, a great budget breakfast spot for those who enjoy traveling.
Founded by Loi Ah Koon in 1926, the menu for Yakun Kaya Toast is made of familiar household ingredients such as eggs, bread, and butter. Therefore, it is a safe choice for travelers who aren’t as adventurous about food!

If you’d like to indulge your affordable breakfast like a local, here are some simple steps to follow closely:
1. Mix the soft-boiled eggs with pepper and soy sauce (the soft-boiled eggs are cracked for you!)
2. Dip the toast into the soft-boiled egg mix and enjoy the mix of savoury and sweetness!
3. Dip the toast into the hot drink (coffee, milo, or tea) you’ve ordered! (Controversial!)
