Ya Kun Kaya Toast @ Thomson Plaza
Both of us got our brunch obsessions. For myself, it’s Hotcakes with sausage at MacDonald’s, and we’ve had this so much over the last couple of months that Ling has grown paranoid over it. Every Saturday morning, she’ll dreads getting poked out of bed by me suggesting brightly that we have breakfast at MacDonald’s. She’ll give a mournful look and say “again…? 
” Me, I’ll just laugh and push her right out of bed!
We did get a change last Saturday for morning brunch though. Ling had a ton of examination papers to mark, and for a change of our usual brunch places at Hougang Mall and Compass Point, we drove to Thomson Plaza this time, and had breakfast at the now ubiquitous bread and toast eatery: Ya Kun Kaya Toast. Ling loves this place, as did Matt if I recall correctly (right bud?). Me, I’ve never really cared for kaya toast for brunch but I decided to humour her.:) Ling had her usual kaya toast, and myself French toast with kaya. Both sets were around $3.50 each, and for that price we each had a small cup of hot beverage, two half-boiled eggs, and the plate of sandwiches.
Now, I’m sure there’re many fans of Ya Kun Kaya Toast in Singapore, but I’ll say my piece. The bread is ordinary (and in my case, the French toast tasted plain), the portions are small, and I finished the cup of beverage in two gulps. If the set was around $2.50 or so, the breakfast set would be more appealing for me. But the fare is just too ordinary and yet expensive at $3.50 – especially when the neighbourhood coffee shops sell the same thing for much cheaper. So there!
- Food: 6 / 10
- Value: 2 / 5
- Overall: 2.7 / 5. No, no juice here. But I’m pretty sure if Ling will rate the place higher, so I’ll ask her to soon.:)
