Ever since I read about Arpee’s post on Ya Kun Kaya, it’s been a breakfast I’ve long coveted. That’s the reason I was really bent on trying Ya Kun Kaya in Singapore last October 2009 when I went there for the Nuffnang Blog Awards. Our schedule was too tight that I only had the travel back from IKEA to Link hotel in Tiong Bahru (30 minutes before our private bus supposedly leaves for the airport) to find the most popular all day breakfast place. Jen and Kate were with me during my quest. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough time to cut it so we just settled for another Kaya place in SG.
Fret no more because Singapore’s Favorite Coffee Chain is now in Manila! Taste the very best of coffee and Kaya breakfast in the heart of Ortigas Center. Lucky me, this is only a stone-throw away from my office.
On the Table
Kaya Toast (Half PHP 115, Set Menu PHP 140)
2 slices of delicious Kaya toast with butter –has the right lightly toasted crunch of the bread, slathered with butter and just enough green sweet coconut spread. Satisfies when washed down with Ya Kun’s famous coffee tarik or the traditionally pulled coffee.
There are different hot drinks available. Get conventional with the Coffee “O” or Tea “O,” which is black (as pronunciation of O in Chinese means black) or try it with a bit of milk and order Coffee “C” or Tea “C.” Other drinks in the menu include Hot Milo, Hot Mocha, Hot Chocolate, Ginger Tea, and Japanese Green Tea.
Yummy soft-boiled eggs –I got the set meal so I got two eggs. I seasoned with a bit of special Japanese soy sauce and pepper. Richard did notice that I love pepper.
Noticeably, the Ya Kun eggs were cooked perfectly, which other Kaya stores can’t quite get, where the eggs usually come out with still some raw uncooked parts. My little spoon broke into that fountain of yolk and I was soaked in sunshine delight. There’s no brighter day than eating wet and perfectly prepared eggs with the crunch of your toast.
Hankering to slurp more yellow-k goodness, Bubba stopped me from ordering another set because eating 4 eggs (I already had two) will ruin my diet for the Bali trip.
Cheezy French Toast Kaya Set Menu PHP 150
1 slice of cheesy French toast with Kaya –for people like Bubba a.k.a the Cheeseman who likes their toast with cheese, this is the must-order. They also have cheese toast with kaya (PHP 140) if you’re craving for grilled cheese sandwich.
Yin Yang –fragrant coffee and tea drink
Richard let us try the Yin Yang, which is not part of the menu (but feel free to order this during your Ya Kun Visit). Yin Yang is part coffee and half tea –get that stimulating coffee flavor and the calming effect of tea.
