My Favorite Food Places around Little India in Singapore

Cheap Eats

1. Ya Kun Kaya Toast (Must-eat)

Suitable for: Breakfast, Tea time

Ya Kun Kaya Toast

@carrine

Classic Singaporean breakfast. Kaya toast & soft-boiled eggs. The set comes with bread, eggs, and a drink. I love the steamed bread set as well. How to eat: Generally, locals love to dip their toast into the broken eggs. Personally, I eat them separately. Ya Kun is a local brand founded in 1944. There are over 70 stores city-wide. They did a great job preserving the local identity and taste while expanding commercially. So you will see its filled with locals everywhere. Learn how to customize the drink you want. Photo reference link below. ps- I drink Teh C Siew Dai (I'm not a coffee person)

🇻🇳 Top authentic local food in Hanoi you wish you knew - Vietnam

Vietnamese food is definitely a big part of the culture. From coffee to salad to noodles, I am sure you will enjoy the fresh and simple food as much as I do. For example, food in the North, Hanoi is comparably lighter and less intense than the food in the South. If you are a food purist or big on tasting all the ingredients in its authentic flavor, you must not miss Hanoi's good local street food. *Guide will be updated whenever I have new recommendations!
