Well done, Chase! You actually ended up at the China Square branch of Ya Kun Kaya Toast. There are countless outlets across the island for Ya Kun Kaya Toast, but the China Square branch is the one said to be still manned by the family/extended family members of the original founders, while all the other outlets are manned by hired staff and franchisees. Taste at this outlet is top notch and consistent! Ah yes, Kaya is a wonderful food to bring back, if your home country allows bringing in for personal consumption. It goes well with most types of assorted breads and crackers! Most visitors would actually get some back for personal consumption. But just remember to keep it in the fridge once opened, till you finish the whole bottle. 👍 Best recommended way to eat the egg would be to mix the pepper and soya sauce well, and slurp it up. And yeah, we usually try not to dip kaya Toast in the coffee, as it will "disintegrate" very quickly. Give you a hack for unusual way of having coffee. We locals and Malaysians call it kopi gao gu you. Or "butter coffee". Simply, just order a cup of coffee like the Ya kun coffee (coffee with condensed milk) and drop a piece of BUTTER in the coffee. Preferably high quality butter like SCS or similar class you can find in your country, then wait for 2 to 3 minutes for the butter to slowly dissolve in the coffee while you sip up that heavenly taste of buttery coffee! Remember not to stir and dissolve the butter completely, as this will spread out the butter flavour all over. You let the butter dissolve naturally and you will have this distinctive taste that taste different with each mouthful. Cheers!
thank you but each country in south east asia and asia have their own local favourites. we should learn to enjoy and celebrate each others' cuisines and culture.
I love the old timey look. Very 1930’s. You look like you’re about to bust out with a cigar and a “Ya see” and talk about business while Shelby fixes you a whisky on ice. Made a double.
You missed one of the best egg tarts in the area. It’s a couple of shops before your orange juice vending machine Tong Heng is the name of the shop. I believe they still use lard to make their crumbly pastry. Do try it if you’re in the area.
Those are not poached eggs, which are cooked without the shells in hot water, but uniquely Singapore 'half-boiled' eggs. Some say it should be 'soft-boiled' eggs but these can be served in egg cups as both the york and white are not watery.
9:24 this was a real old man selling masks and dolls. I took a photo of him in black and white film decades ago. He was an iconic figure back then in Chinatown
Eat it how you would like. c: Some of us like to drown the egg in soy sauce, some drizzle. The kaya spread or Coconut Jam essentially, can be bought pretty much almost in any bakery and at the airport. Hope you continue to enjoy your stay here. c:
Ah.... found it. There's always a Malaysian saying that everything is better in Malaysia in a post about Singapore food. Honestly, why can't you guys just give it a rest? I like Singapore's versions of most of the common food between our two countries. Variations can exist you know, and some of us prefer the flavours we grew up with. You can like your versions and we can like ours. They can be equally good depending on what each person prefers. You know that's possible, yah?
Ya Kun used to be value for money but not now. The butter used to be thickly sliced and is obvious on the outside of the bread. But now, the butter is spread out thinly. I told them on a few occasions but obviously they chose to dismiss my comments. Other vendors serve better toasts elsewhere.
always appreciate visitors who do their research

I’m glad I ended up at this shop 🥰 also that coffee hack sounds amazing 🤩
@@TheChaseMatheson next time you come, get a packet of kopi bags and all you need is condensed milk and you can have your own butter kopi at home.
Singapore is the capital of food in Asia!
thank you but each country in south east asia and asia have their own local favourites. we should learn to enjoy and celebrate each others' cuisines and culture.
It's definitely a local favourite and go-to breakfast!
So good 😊
I exclaimed “Enough, enough!” when watching you pour the dark sauce 😂😂
Just a little bit 😉
Yeeessss! Slurp up all that coffee from the saucer and while at it, lift one leg and place it on the stool. Just one leg. Welcome to SIngapore.
Got a little Captain in you? 🏴☠️
Well researched ahead of time!
you can buy the kaya jam to go at the airport. Love it.
Wah.. Kopi dipping.. that is very very old school…
Was good to try 😊
🎉You look very enjoy🎉. I love the machine orange juice too. 🎉🎉🎉
It's so good 😊
ao far no one has replicated Ya Kun's toasted bread. it comes out so crumbly that it's like it wants to be a biscuit. 😋
It's so good! 😊
That looks delicious 🤤 Singapore food looks great 👍
So good 😊
That is also a very typical Malaysian breakfast! So so good!
Yes it was 😋
Difference being that Malaysians like to eat the soft boil eggs with light soya sauce whereas Singaporean likes to eat with dark

🤣 love it 🥰
He is missing the burret or cowboy hat & pistols on the side
Here again watching u gulping down foodie. Got a shock when u poured the soya sauce. That’s too much : x
Luckily I like salt, but I agree it was to much 🤣
In old days, people would pour the coffee into the saucer and then drank off it. It would be less hot in this way
Yes! love this.
Nice. That is the right way! :) Glad u liked it.
Thanks again! 😊

Damn! I’ll have to go back and try them someday 😋 Thanks for the info 🙏
Yes I agree! Tong Heng's egg tarts are my fav!

Chase, would you say that Singapore is very handicap accessible? Thank you!!
I believe it would be one of the easier places to get around in Asia 🥰

That is so cool 🥰
too much dark soya sauce... 😂 but I like the way you're enjoying your kaya toast Set A !! 👍😇
It was too perfect not to get set A 🤤
Kopi means with black coffee with added condensed milk. Kopi C means black coffee with evaporated milk. Kopi O is just black coffee.
Ah perfect 👌 good to know 🙏
actually Kopi O is black coffee with sugar. If no sugar it's Kopi O Kosong, kosong literally means zero in Malay.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

❤️❤️❤️🔥👌🙏🥰👍
❤❤❤👍👍👍
Hope you enjoy your meal and time in sg, can put less dark soya sauce on the eggs...the sauce can overwhelm the entire taste experience
Thank you 🙏 Loved my time in Singapore 🇸🇬
❤🎉
ahah thats too much soy sauce... just a few drops will do... otherwise the eggs become too salty
Fair enough 😂🤣
One should not pour soy sauce directly onto the food. Either pour onto the spoon or pour into a small sauce dish, and then drizzle onto the food😜
@@ryanchew9229 nah since when is that a thing... just put a few drops of soy sauce directly.. why need to put on a spoon? Thats just another step.
Eat it how you would like. c:

Thank you for all the information 🙏🙏 I love Singapore 🇸🇬
not all kaya taste good/authentic though. you have to check out the ingredients used.
You have put too much dark sauce
Just a little bit 😉
@@TheChaseMatheson Actually 2 drops suffice because this sauce makes dishes very dark and too much will taste bitter
Sorry to ask,why are there 2 channels of yourself?
This is my only solo channel 🙏
@TheChaseMatheson So I assume your partner is still with you?
Yes 👍 on the main channel 🙏
Hey where was your lovely partner?
Traveling with me, she is on the main channel 🥰
@TheChaseMatheson I was getting worried whether I identified the wrong person
😂 Too much soya sauce, too salty much😊
😋
you put too much soya sauce......
Only a little bit 😉
That’s too much soy sauce
Just a little bit 🥴
Omg chase them eggs are clucking 🤮🤮
Eggs need to be runny for this guy 😋
Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. 😂 Runny soft boiled eggs are brilliant with that toast !! Absolutely delicious.
Yes, eggs are soft-boiled rather than poached. Poached is when the eggs are cooked after cracking them open.
Don't dismiss it till you try it... Its not a 'National' breakfast dish in Singapore for nothing...
better kaya toast and kopi o in Malaysia
I’ll have to try it there someday 😋

Which branch? The Ya Kun I go to still got the thick butter.
@@davidwongwantho96 which other vendor ?
