Where to eat authentic Singaporean food in Singapore

Ya Kun Kaya Toast

One of my most pleasurable meals in Singapore was at the original branch of Ya Kun Kaya Toast. They have branches in several malls but I suggest going to this branch where waiters yell the customers’ orders and things get done fast amidst the seeming chaos.

My first day in Singapore was a very productive one.
