Quality food without the premium price tag. Kaya toast from $5, fried rice from $5.50. Real hawker spirit, real value.
Featured across Singapore's top food publications — here's what they had to say.
The pandan kaya is intoxicatingly fragrant, luxuriously velvety, and meticulously balances sweetness. A serious contender for the best kaya toast in Singapore.
A rich blend of umami, smokiness and sweetness from the owners of Prawnography. The tiger noodle with prawns and pork belly is a feast.
Their bread is sourced from Jackson Bakery and twice-toasted to achieve an airily light, crisp texture. The kaya made from fresh coconut milk is next level.
Bao Er Cafe was born from the passion of Jeremy and his Vietnamese wife, Bao Er. What started as a simple dream to serve authentic local breakfast has grown into one of Singapore's most talked-about cafes.
Every morning, the kaya is made fresh with real coconut milk. The Hokkien mee is fried with ferocious wok hei. No shortcuts, no compromises — just food made with love and served with pride at Novena Gardens.
