Bao Er Cafe (Balestier Plaza)

Had the hokkien mee & Kaya butter toast set (change to ice tea o) & kopi o ice for $15.90

The toast bread cannot compare to ya kun but Kaya given was generous and overflowing.

Star of the show is their hokkien mee that is the wet version ($7) and love the wok hey

Kaya Toast Set @$5
+$1.20 to change drink to Iced Milo

Kaya Toast Ala carte @ $2

By far, the best kaya toast I ever had.

The ratio of kaya & butter was precisionly just right.

Every table of hokkien mee, will have a plate of these awesome Kaya toast.

Just be ready for the long waiting time, for the hokkien mee, as well as for the Kaya Butter Toast.

Limited number of tables, so be ready to queue for food and queue for tables during peak lunch & Dinner hours.

As I said in my earlier post on Treasure Toast, I will be back to feature Bao Er Cafe which likewise serves kaya toast and hokkien mee.

Their kaya spread uses fresh coconut milk and you can immediately taste the creamy and nutty flavours in it. For those with a sweet tooth, you will definitely like their kaya which is on the sweet side.

I also like that they have somehow found the golden ratio of butter, kaya and bread, ensuring that you get a good balance of all in one mouth!

I personally peg this together with Coffee Hut at Jalan Berseh as my go to for kaya toast!

Theirs is a very wet version. Super thick but not sticky, the flavour is quite good given how thick it is. It's almost a paste because the noodles are soft too.

Prawns were pretty snappy and clean tasting. The lard was decent, chili was smashing and unique

A good rendition. For the style of hokkien mee I expected more umami from a strong stock, then it would have been excellent

It's ABIT more cooked than normal but their eggs are special too, because it tastes a lot thicker than normal. Unfortunately the soy sauce sucks, too sweet

Sunday night: no queue?!?!. Half the tables were empty (although they were dirty)

Their Kaya is very special. Pale and very strongly tasting of coconut, esp when it tastes very natural. The butter was soft and the bread was crispy (if a little bit dry, but it's thin so the ratio is alright)

All components were good, making them deserving of their fame. Very good, although I can't say if it's worth a long queue
