What Kaya toast is
Thin toast with coconut jam and butter, the classic breakfast.
Kaya toast is listed as a bakery item in the Singapore guide, where the index tags it vegetarian. The index uses those labels to make an unfamiliar menu legible. What it cannot tell you is how this particular kitchen seasons, fries or plates the dish, so leave room to ask.
Where to find Kaya toast
Kaya toast is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Singapore. Bakeries sell out early, so go in the morning and follow the queue rather than the signboard.
The Singapore guide also covers 6 dishes and 2 bakery items; open the country page for the full menu and the other places in the index.
