pretty foods: kaya toast

This is one meal that one can easily find at just about anywhere in Singapore- at a coffee shop in Bedok, at a coffee shop in Jalan Besar, at a coffee shop in Woodlands, or at a coffee shop in Boon Lay. It's all the same, give and take, and you'll be no less having one or the other.

But there are days when you're  feeling peckish in the middle of Orchard Road, and there being no coffee shop to go, you head straight for what is the de-facto standard of kaya toast and eggs as written in the tourist books, where you get crispy, crunchy toast with thick slices of butter generously slathered over with coconut jam, large-yolk soft boiled eggs, and a cup of hot, no-more-sweet milky tea.

Admittedly, even though I'm totally #supportlocal, Ya Kun's toast is really quite crunchy, and it makes a difference having egg yolks large enough that you can boing-boing them with your spoon. :D
