Ya Kun Kaya Toast (United Square)

Despite the request for Siu Siu Dai, this was quite sweet.

Been running on lots of caffeine these few days and this Kopi O flavoured Pocky is definitely a great pick me up snack. Loving how it isn’t super sweet, and still embody the lingering taste of kopi.

Still the best pick me up, and local brew by a mile as compared to other local coffee house. It’s moderately thick without being too gao, creamy and has a nice mocha aftertaste. At $1.80 a cup!

When i mention Yakun, im sure their butter kaya toast comes to your mind right? 💕 Did u know that they have newly introduced an afternoon set serving MUFFINS ($1.90 ala carte, $3.50 with coffee/tea after 2pm)?! 😊
.
I tried their Kaya Lemon muffin (the other flavour being Kaya Pandan) out of curiosity + i wanted a quick bite 🤣
.
Tbh, it was quite a disappointment. 😔 While i still liked their sweet & aromatic coconutty kaya slathered on top 💚, i found the muffin to be too crumbly & a tad too dry. Would have very much preferred it to be more soft & moist!
.
The iconic citrusy notes of lemon was almost non-existent - extremely faint! 😭 Would have liked the tartness to be more pronounced to balance the sweet kaya.
.
Innovation is good, but this needs some finetuning imo to be on par with its counterparts on Yakun's menu. 💪🏻
