YY Kafei Dian: Famous House-Baked Kaya Buns And Legit Kopi In Bugis

YY Kafei Dian has old-school kaya buns and kopi in Bugis

When we covered YY Kafei Dian in our best kopi stalls in Singapore roundup, we were impressed by their well-balanced Hainanese-style coffee. This old-school eatery along Beach Road is a popular destination for both tourists and locals alike, as they sell a wide range of classic Singaporean fare and beverages.

A must-try here is their Kaya Bun ($1.60), which stars house-made buns that are toasted, and slathered with a sweet and creamy kaya spread. In between the light and fluffy buns is a thick slab of cold butter that contrasts nicely with the warm toast.

Dunk each slice into the perfectly runny Half Boiled Eggs ($1.50)ย for the ultimate breakfast experience.

Drinks-wise, we found the kopi here to be smooth and easy to drink, without too much acidity. Get their Kopi Bing ($1.90)ย to cool down from the afternoon heat, and remember to request for siew dai if you prefer your brew less sweet.

Alternatively, a best-seller is their hot Kopi C ($1.70), where the caramelly notes of the coffee are the most prominent.

If youโ€™re still feeling peckish, you can fill up on the carbs in the form of steamed or roasted Chicken Rice ($4.50). YY Kafei Dian also offers a wide selection of zi char mains, including Beef Hor Fun with Gravy ($6), Pork Chop Rice ($5.50), and Yang Zhou Fried Rice ($5).

For more food recommendations, read our Kulon review. This Indonesian restaurant is just a 10-minute stroll away and serves legit bakmi and ayam geprek in generous portions. Otherwise, another must-try coffee shop is Keng Wah Sung in Geylang for their sugar doughnuts and cheap kopi.
