Bao Er Cafe (Balestier Plaza)

The set comes with toast, 2 eggs and 1 drink. The toasts are very crispy. They are very generous with the butter and kaya. The kaya has more coconutty taste. It was really good. The eggs are slightly overcooked for me.

There has been load of (much deserved) rave about Bao Er Cafe's kaya toast and hokkien mee that the majority of their other offerings gets cast aside!

They also serve a good bowl of prawn noodles (or prawn mee or hei mee depending on what you call it). I had their dry version and their noodles were spot-on al dente and topped with good portions of sliced pork, prawns and lard! The sauce was well balanced and their chilli tasty. The soup was umami filled and flavourful.

My favourite prawn mee remains One Prawn & Co for their luxuriously cream bisque-like prawn stock. This is not in the same class but definitely better than most versions which are way too salty and MSG-laden!

It is what it is.

We finally tried this after missing out the last visit. A little hipster but can't complain lah, it's very good. Wet, loaded and big.

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.
