First Visit at Ya Kun Kaya Toast

First Visit at Ya Kun Kaya Toast

Jun 05

For the past couple of weeks, I became curious about Ya Kun Kaya Toast. Some friends from the blogosphere blogged about it so there came the urge to go and try YKK. Good thing Glenn and Cathie were planning to go there too so Sarah and I went with them a couple of weeks ago. The jampacked MRT during rush hour did not even stopped me just to try YKK.

Tonight was a perfect timing for our first visit. There was a TV crew from QTV featuring YKK for the TV show “Ang Pinaka” (which airs every Sunday night). I think it will be shown for the June 6 episode (so watch for us as well, haha).

Ya Kun Kaya Toast (or YKK) was established 1944 and it’s popular throughout Singapore. Too bad, I ain’t good as Cathie (she’s a YKK regular, haha) when it comes to YKK’s background but it’s a good thing that it’s finally here in Manila! No need to fly to Singapore to try out their famous toasts.

The peanut butter toast tastes perfect with a cut of butter in the middle which makes it become more creamy.

The star of the night were, of course, the kaya toasts. Through the help of the branch owner, Richard Co, we got to order three different sets of toasts–Kaya Toast, Cheesy French Toast, and Peanut butter toast. Each set comes with a cup of hot coffee or tea (which can also be upgraded to cold drinks) and yummy soft-boiled eggs which are perfect to be paired with your toasts.

Soft-boiled egg can be seasoned with pepper and Singaporean soy sauce

If you think you can’t have the full sets, there are the half sets you can choose from. For less than P200 (or about $4), you can enjoy YKK’s full sets.

Iced Coffee

I enjoyed the Kaya Toasts with their signature sweet coconut spread but it’s really hard for a sweet tooth like me to choose what I really like. I love ‘em all, haha. My main purpose in going here was to try their lemon iced tea, but I failed to order it. At least, it adds to the reasons why I have to go back to Ya Kun Toast.

By the way, if you can’t get enough of the toast at the branch, you can buy bottle of their coconut spread if you’re planning to have your own home-made toasts.
