Ya Kun Kaya Toast @ Thomson Plaza<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Both of us got our brunch obsessions. For myself, it\u2019s Hotcakes with sausage at MacDonald\u2019s, and we\u2019ve had this so much over the last couple of months that Ling has grown paranoid over it. Every Saturday morning, she\u2019ll dreads getting poked out of bed by me suggesting brightly that we have breakfast at MacDonald\u2019s. She\u2019ll give a mournful look and say \u201cagain\u2026? \":(\" \u201d Me, I\u2019ll just laugh and push her right out of bed!<\/p>\n

\"dining-171.jpg\"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<\/a> and Compass Point<\/a>, we drove to Thomson Plaza<\/a> 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\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m sure there\u2019re many fans of Ya Kun Kaya Toast in Singapore, but I\u2019ll 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!<\/p>\n
