    A Coffee Addict on the Road

    I start my days with coffee, wake up and smell the coffee. If I didn’t drink a cup of coffee before noon, I’d feel very depresso and wrong.

    Wherever I go and travel I always drink multiple cups of hot coffee every day. I’d love to taste local coffee. Life feels very beautiful and perfect every time I sip my coffee, tell me I’m not the only one. I believe my fellow coffee addict around the world can relate to this!!!

    Coffee in The Middle

    Local Coffee in Singapore

    Although there’s no coffee plantation in Singapore, they have a local coffee chain. Yakun Kaya Toast.

    At Yakun Kaya Toast, I first knew how the way Singaporeans have their coffee time. It is still my favorite local coffee, I like to watch the way they serve the coffee. It is always a middle-aged Chinese man (Singaporeans called him ‘uncle’) who prepares the coffee. Never have I seen a woman or girl handle this coffee-making job, I guess it is part of their ‘branding’ since the founder is Ah Koon from Hainan, China.

    In Singapore, it is very common to see people drinking sweet coffee with half-boiled eggs and Kaya Toast. The price is reasonable, around SGD 1.50 per cup.
