Tong Ah Eating House

Besides whipping up good ole tzi char dishes, this storied eating house brews up an old-school cup of Nanyang coffee too. Subtle, smooth yet packed with enough caffeine to jumpstart your heart rate, each cup pairs perfectly with proper stacks of kaya toasts. And there are four options to sandwich the housemade kaya, which ranges from the fluffier old-school toasts and crispy thin toasts to the classic cream crackers or the indulgent French toasts. Grilled by the coffee stand facing the street, the combined aromas often fill the streets in the early morning, attracting throngs of hungry breakfast-goers searching for anything to fuel the day.
