Here's the lightly edited review: "I tried the Kaya set. It’s way too sweet for me for breakfast. Service was very cold, almost like back in communist China, but I guess it’s not a Michelin restaurant after all. Unlike what was described online, there was no line at all. Anyway, it’s just a local experience. I tried it, but I don’t think I’ll return soon."

The location has moved to directly opposite Tiong Bahru Bakery. Today is the second day of operations at the new premises. The store is larger and has a more organized queuing system. I'm always a fan of Ya Kun!

Tea-o peng is terrible. It's not cold at all. The kaya butter cracker had little to no kaya. Seriously? The soft-boiled eggs came with a broken yolk. This would be unacceptable at other outlets. Truly disappointing. The staff were very rude.

Ya Kun Kaya Toast is a good spot for anyone longing for a dose of nostalgia and simple soul food. This self-service café, given its bustling, easily accessible location and high foot traffic, is rarely uncrowded. We had patronized YKKT at its former premises multiple times, but this was our first visit since it moved. The new store - situated directly opposite Tiong Bahru Bakery - is now bigger and brighter. Our order for afternoon bites was Value Set Meal Set C (Butter Sugar Toast), which we hadn't had for a long time. It was delightful to savour the thick slabs of cold butter and sugar tucked between the warm, crisp toasts! The two soft-boiled eggs and hot beverages complemented the toasts to a T. Delicious and belly-happy.

This place is packed and bustling with tourists. Table, stools, and circulation space are tight, so it’s not a place to slowly enjoy your kopi and toast. Perhaps due to the heavy traffic, the coffee was sappy and not smooth. The toast seems hastily slapped together, as you can see in the photo. For a local breakfast, there are so many options, and I wouldn’t recommend this place. The location is great only for tourists.
