YY Kafei Dian

($2.20) Decided to order for trying their side dish beside their kaya bread. I felt that their egg tart custard was not that bad and not that hard (decent level) but their outer pastry crust was slightly hard to chew thru.

($10) tbh I did enjoy their Hainanese Pork Chop compared to another store beside them. It's much crispy and also crunchy texture for pork chop. The sauce for Hainanese Pork Chop was quite mild spicy and not that spicy that I thought of.

($1.60) Finally tried their best selling kaya bun even though they got a variety of dessert and snacks on the counter. The kaya jam got strong gula melaka taste and also got mild brown colour for jam.

If you have not heard of YY Kafei Dian, then I will recommend you try out their kaya butter toast that they make in house and if you are lucky you will be able to order their sugared doughnuts which is unlike your neighbourhood kind. The doughnut has a nice bite to it, and it is neither dry nor dense. The sugar coating gives it a nice sweet finish but it’s all about the texture. The wifey also loves the claypot ee-mian while it’s the first time for me to try their dry hor fun which is at best decent.

I am so sad I only just found YY Kafei Dian because now it is fluffy old-school buns over a crispy stack of kaya toast every time.

As I am usually on team “toasted” as opposed to “steamed” for my go-to breakfast kaya bread, I was so impressed by how YY Kafei Dian’s rendition delivered the best of both worlds. The interior was so pillowy-soft while the outside spotted a nice char. The texture of the warm, house-made buns was just really good. Served with a lovely pat of butter, the gooey caramel-y spread was superb as well - fragrant, and sweet but not cloying.

Mine was sharing kaya butter toast, sugared donut, claypot and a kopi peng sui dai with the wifey on this cool and rainy new year day. Also, seeing the 9% GST on the receipt has reminded us that 2024 is truly here.
