Having Kaya Toast with Coffee (or “Kopi” in Malay as it is more affectionately called in local eateries) is one of the traditional breakfasts in Singapore. However, due to its popularity and also the advent of franchising, we can now savour this lovely snack throughout the day.
The two most popular places in Singapore to savour Kaya Toast are at Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Killiney Kopitiam. Though Ya Kun Kaya Toast has more outlets throughout Singapore, many Singaporeans will probably comment that the place that wins hands down in terms of serving the best kaya toast is probably Killiney Kopitiam.
My favourite place to savour Kaya Toast is still at Killiney Kopitiam. Personally, I’ve tried Ya Kun twice (once at its Takashimaya outlet and once at its Toa Payoh outlet) and both experiences had left me disappointed.
Kaya is a jam that is made from coconuts and eggs, flavoured by the unique pandan leaf and sweetened with sugar. Imagine this: A thick layer of kaya oozing into your mouth as you bite into slices of bread that has been toasted over charcoal until they are crispy; it’s definitely the best kind of breakfast to wake up to!
Kaya/Butter Toast - $1.50
Coffee with Milk, or Kopi in Malay - $1
Further coupled with a cup of nice aromatic coffee that wakes you up for the day, it’s definitely a great way to enjoy your breakfast, or even an afternoon snack, especially if you’re in need to that mid-day caffeine boast.
Being a coffee addict myself, I’m pretty particular with the coffee I drink. Sad to say, many places serve coffee that are either too bland or too mild for my caffeine addition. However, the aromatic coffee at Killiney Kopitiam has definitely passed my standards. I nearly ordered another cup of coffee when I was there because I couldn’t get enough of those lovely coffee. But I have a pact with myself that I’ll cut down on the amount of coffee intake per day, and it’s easy to revert back to my caffeine addition the moment I start to drink more than 2 cups of coffee a day, thus I held back my order.
Curry Chicken - $4.50
Besides the great coffee and kaya toast, the rest of the menu that is being offered there is delicious too. The Nasi Lemak and the Curry Chicken are some of the delicious items there. The curry is thick and yummy, especially when you dipped the bread that comes along with the curry into it. The chicken in the curry is also pretty tender. It’s definitely one of the other must -try there!
However, some other items on the menu such as the French toast can be skipped. It’s not exactly the best items on the menu.
