The Food Fighters

If you're looking for an alternative to the Mcdonalization of toast - thanks to Yakun or Killeney, it's good to find a place that goes back to its hainanese roots when it comes to kaya toast. The kaya is the thick brown type that my granddad used to make when he ran a tiny little corner coffee shop in a small little kampung somewhere in Selangor. My enduring memory of my granddad is of him squatting in front of a small hot charcoal stove (because constant heat is best for making kaya), continuously stirring a small little aluminum tin full of kaya, and just generally really sweating his arse off.

Anyway, I didn't really see any squatting going on the back of this shop, but I do have words of wisdom to impart to those coming to this shop. According to the auntie, it's cheaper to order the toast,eggs and coffee as a SET, instead of ordering them individually, cos the latter is more expensive. REMEMBER THAT.
