Kaya Toast Reviews
I've always been a stickler for the classics, and sometimes, a simple kaya toast and eggs combo is all you need to start the day right. Qi Xiang Cha Shi, a humble stall, promises just that. I went down to see if they could deliver.
The kaya toast? Spot on. The bread was perfectly crispy without being burnt, and the slice of butter was thick enough to matter. The kaya itself was rich, fragrant, and not too sweet. This is the kind of toast that brings you back to the old-school coffee shops.
And the soft-boiled eggs were equally good. Cooked to a beautiful runny consistency, with that perfect golden yolk. A little dash of soy sauce and a sprinkle of pepper, and you're golden. The eggs were fresh and the texture was exactly what you'd want in a good pair of soft-boiled eggs.
Here's the rub: the tea. It was the weakest link in an otherwise solid lineup. It just lacked that robust, full-bodied flavour you'd expect from a good local brew. It was thin and watery, failing to complement the rich toast and eggs.
Final Verdict: Go for the kaya toast and eggs. They are the real deal and are worth every cent. But if you're a serious tea drinker, you might be better off getting your teh elsewhere. This is a place that nails the fundamentals, even if it stumbles on the small stuff.
