Iconic kaya toast, soft-boiled eggs, and Nanyang coffee at JEM.
Ya Kun Kaya Toast at JEM is an enduring icon of Singaporean breakfast culture, serving the legendary combination of crispy kaya toast, thick slabs of cold butter, soft-boiled eggs seasoned with soy sauce and white pepper, and robustly brewed Nanyang kopi. For decades, Ya Kun has been the toast that binds kinship, friendship, and partnership across generations. The kaya, a luscious coconut and pandan jam made from a closely guarded recipe, is slathered on toast grilled to crispy perfection. Pair it with a hot cup of kopi or teh, or explore the menu of French toast, steamed bread, and modern additions like iced beverages and cheese toast. The simple yet addictive flavours have made Ya Kun a must-visit for locals and tourists alike. Located at Basement 1 of JEM, Ya Kun Kaya Toast offers a quick, satisfying meal in a casual, nostalgic setting. Whether you are starting your day or taking an afternoon break, this is the definitive Singaporean breakfast experience in the heart of Jurong East.Based on 293 Google reviews

There is a fried chicken food stall beside Yakun and dining in this outlet feels suffocating with the oil stench with lack of air flow despite being inside the mall. Felt a huge sense of relief after I exited the outlet. Don’t waste your money here and have your breakfast elsewhere.

Lousy food quality at this store. All three pieces of my toast were sliced sloppily (as pictured), with half of the bread gone. For the price, I expected something at least minimally consistent. The ventilation is terrible too.
Ken Tan
Had the tea time set at $4.80 with choice of cake/pastry with teh/coffee. Environment was a bit warm as it’s surrounded by neighbouring food outlets. Taste is generally good and consistent.

Nice combination of Kaya Butter Toast with Half boiled egg. Sprinkle some black pepper and soy sauce over the half boiled egg for better taste. Hot milk tea taste good together with the combination of toast and eggs 🥰 A signature breakfast within Malaysia and Singapore 😇 …
