Here are some of Ya Kun Kaya Toast’s bestsellers:
1) Kaya toast set
It comes with two slices of toast, soft-boiled eggs, and a cup of coffee or tea. They also offer other variations of the toast, such as the kaya butter thick toast and steamed kaya butter toast.
2) Singaporean Kopi (coffee) and Teh (tea)
Their kopi is one of Yakun’s specialities! Made by roasting and brewing a blend of coffee beans with sugar and margarine, resulting in a smooth and slightly sweet taste. Their tea is just as good!
3) Controversy about halal products
In 2014, there was a post about how Ya Kun Kaya Toast sold pork. This was untrue as the outlet was in the Philippines, and Ya Kun Singapore does not sell such an item. Here is the clarification.
