Seng Hong Coffee Shop- Innocent Temptation, Blast from the Past~

J: Innocent temptation, tts how i will describe u... U look sooo o-r-d-i-n-a-r-y when i first met u. I knew i was wrong when i first had u. My eyes lit up immediately... U r simply e-x-t-r-a-o-r-d-i-n-a-r-y~ I melted when u greeted me with immense softness n warmth... Moist, fluffy n chewy too. Peanut butter erupted from ur sides when i sank my teeth into u... There was no choice n i knew i had to act fast. I always had a soft spot for liquid peanut butter instead of e sticky skippy ones... Though it was extremely unglam, pls pardon me for sucking every bit of peanut butter tt oozed out from ur warm body. My heart was crying out badly for u when i finished every last bit of u, even licking e peanut butter tt stained my fingers... It was then i knew tt 2 isn't enough for total satisfaction. Before i knew it, i had asked for another. U r simply divine n perfect, hidden in this little corner of lengkok bahru. I would gladly trade any crispy kaya toast just for u, my love~ Tempt me no more~

Steamed lothi with peanut butter $0.50

Kopi-O siu dai

The kopi-o though, was too sweet for me even though i requested for less sugar. It was decent, but not thick enough.

Total bill: $2.70 for 3 lothis with peanut butter, kopi-o, 1 egg

J's ratings: 4.8/5 steamed lothi with peanut butter, 4/5 kopi-o siu dai

Chin Mee Chin Confectionary- a disappointing & unhappy breakfast

J: Upon stepping into this confectionary, immediately i had e feelings of e old sch kopitiam. There r displays of the various buns n puffs & CMC's kitchen is v open where u can c all e workers baking, making kopis, tehs, half-boiled eggs etc. However, one major turnoff was the attitude of this auntie who made herself looked v busy although there's only 1 couple other than us waiting to order our food. She made us wait & gave us the cant-be-bothered attitude while taking our orders & this really pissed us off. Woke up early for a nice breakfast & this is what we got grRRrr. Anw, the breakfast was a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT too.

Raisin Bun & Custard Puff

Homemade Kaya Soft Bun

Kopi O

The custard puff is the kind of custard which i hated most. Buttery jammy texture, not the milky smooth liquid custard which I like. The raisin bun has a very awkward taste which smelled weird to me. Most decent bun of all must be their homemade bun with kaya which is a soft fluffy bun slapped with sweet smooth kaya. Well, the bun is decent but the kaya's tad too sweet for me. Lastly, my kopi-o tasted like plain water. Diluted and not gao at all. I only had 3 sips n left with almost a cup full of kopi-o. Very disappointing indeed. Oh i forgot to mention they took years to make e half boiled eggs! We finished all the buns n puffs n e auntie hasnt even started making our eggs. In e end, we cancelled our orders -.-"" I would never head back to CMC confectionary again.

A: Nothing much to comment as I feel that the raisin bun, custard puff was horrible! And hoping that I could find a better Teh 'C' Kao after Tong Ya, I decided to order the same thing from CMC. It tasted like DRAIN WATER! Yucks!

J's ratings: 2/5 for custard puff, raisin bun & kopi-o, 3/5 for homemade bun with kaya

A's ratings: 2/5 for custard puff, raisin bun & Teh C Kao, 3/5 for homemade bun with kaya

Tong Ya Kaya Toast: Best toast in Singapore! We found it!

The crispiest toast in Singapore! We love Chinatown! That's where all the good food are. We were a little crazy that day. Normally people will eat their kaya toast in the morning but for us? We had it in the evening! haha..

A little insane but worth it! Another gem in Chinatown. We ordered the so called "Grade A" kaya toast, which is toast that was toasted earlier, set aside and toast it again when customer requested for the crispier kaya toast. You got to tell the owner you want the crisper version! If not, you'll end up getting the normal kaya toast. (U can actually c 2 diff packets of bread fr e stall, 1 is e normal white bread while e other has alr been toasted n will be retoasted when u request for tt!) The crust of the toast was so delicate that it broke off when we tried to dip into the soft boiled egg!

A: Tong Ya Kaya Toast will remain as my No.1 toast! Better than Ya Kun Kaya Toast. I must comment that their Teh 'C' Kao is the best i had in SG as well! It has the Ooomh factor! Shiok!

J: i thought ya kun's kaya toast is alr v crispy n nv did i think tt there exist an even crispier n such crumbly kaya toast which literally breaks off when dipped into e half boiled eggs! oh yes btw, 1 egg is definitely insufficient for 2 kaya toasts! i almost brushed e plate dry while dipping my toast in it lol. The kopi-o gao siu dai is also v shiok! however, it does lack in e acidic after taste unlike Wah Yen's kopi-o. i have difficulty choosing which kopi-o i like more bcos both r really gd but sis thought tt tong ya's kopi is better haha.

A's rating: kaya toast 4.75/5, Teh 'C' Kao 4.75/5

J's rating: 4.75/5 for kaya toast, Kopi-o gao siu dai 4.7/5

Wah Yen Eating House- i found my no 1 kopi in sg!!

J: Our quest to find the ultimate kaya toast brought us all the way from Kallang to Sin Ming Road. Yes, we r tt crazy i know lol. But the trip wasn't a futile one! Upon reaching e kopitiam, we see a lot of ppl drinking kopi and eating the normal kaya toast which was toasted using the traditional white bread... However, we ordered the french toast with kaya which is toasted using the french loaf! This is certainly something new and refreshing to us. Woah upon sinking ur teeth into the toast, u can hear the shiok crispy sound~ Unlike the french toast served in HK cafes, their french loaves were delightfully toasted till the crust is crispy and slapped with their homemade kaya which isnt too sweet for me. Even after taking our own sweet time to enjoy our breakfast and sitting right in front of a big fan, the crust maintained its crispiness even as it cooled! The bread is still soft inside too.
Their half boiled eggs were cooked just right, not too watery nor hard and 1 egg is sufficient for me to soak all my kaya toast in it with leftovers.

But the best must be their kopi-o. I always liked old nanyang kopi from upper boon keng food centre becos their kopi is really aromatic n they roast quality coffee beans. This kopi-o is also very 'gao' n it gives e acidic after taste which i really like! I will really recommend kopi lovers to try it out!

A: I've tried french toast at elsewhere and I must say that their french toast is really different from others. Crispy even till the last bite! Although the french toast is nice, you must be very patience when ordering! It took us a while before the owner understood what we want. The owner of this store seem flustered when we're ordering. Perhaps it was busy in the morning. Make sure you order your toast and kopi correctly! If not, youll end up getting something different!

*Note: Is FRENCH TOAST! Not kaya toast!

J's ratings: 4.25/5 for french toast, 4.75/5 for kopi-o siu dai

A's ratings: 4.3/5 for french toast
