Kaya Toast has been a breakfast staple since the olden days – loved by many, even the older generations. It is a well-known snack in Singapore and Malaysia, prepared with kaya (coconut jam), a topping of sugar, coconut milk and eggs, pandan, and sometimes margarine or butter. Kaya is generally served on toast, and also sometimes on crackers. The dish is sometimes dipped into soft-boiled eggs with a little dark soy sauce and white pepper [source].

The Top 10 Best Kaya Toast in Singapore Rankings

1. Tong Ah Eating House

Introduction: After 75 years standing at the triangular building on Keong Saik Road as an iconic kopitiam, Tong Ah has relocated to its current place with just some stalls away from the original spot. New home, but flavors are familiar. Kaya toast and coffee are still the ones pleasing the palates of many Singaporean generations.

Offerings: The Kaya is unlike any other Kayas – the Kaya is homemade – grainy, with a right balance of sweetness and butter altogether. Coupled with the crispy toast, one bite and it leaves you wanting for more! As some may call it, “the kaya they served is truly authentic! One of the best I’ve ever had”.

Introduction: Voted best toast by Straits Times and rated highest by Makansutra, this cafe is situated in the hearts of Orchard Road – Far East Plaza. Started in 2005, this coffee shop quickly became a popular kaya toast destination for both locals and tourists.

Offerings: Orange ciabatta kaya toast, a start dish at Good Morning Nanyang Cafe: Great texture, taste and fragrance make this dish impressive. The ciabatta is slightly toasted, leaving the outer layer crispy and the inside soft. It becomes delightful when a hint of caramelized orange peel is added in to complement the kaya and butter in a fresh and unique way.
