Breakfast Singapore Style

Start your day with thin toasted bread filled with rich buttery kaya spread, two soft boiled eggs on the side and a hot cup of kopi and enjoy Singapore's favorite breakfast, the Kaya Toast Set.

Unlike your typical toasted bread, kaya toast is more often toasted not in an oven toaster but directly on top of a hot flat stainless grill.  The piece of bread is usually sliced thinner into two and toasted to perfection with kaya spread and butter/margarine melting inside.

Now comes the most exciting part, the soft boiled egg.  Raw egg submerged in boiled water for 6 minutes gives you the perfect soft boiled egg to pair with your kaya toast.  Usually served shelled, breaking the egg into a deep saucer always excites me!  Season it with pepper and a type of sweet soy sauce and its ready!  I like dipping my Kaya Toast to the soft boiled egg mixture.  Try it!

Make sure to order a cup of kopi which often comes with the set anyway.  Check my post on kopi here.

This mouth watering toast set can be found almost everywhere in Singapore.  I strongly recommend the more commercial kaya toast shops like Yakun Kaya, Toast Box and Killiney.

Commercial Kaya Toast Set: approximately S$4.00 to S$5.00
Hawker Kaya Toast Set: approximately @$2.50 to S$3.50
