Just go to Ya Kun (located at the second level). I rarely give 1-star reviews unless it's justified, and this was.

Just go to Ya Kun (located at the second level). I rarely give 1-star reviews unless it's justified, and this was.
Khairul Eung Goh
Ordered 2 teh less sweet. From the colour difference, you can tell the inconsistency. True enough — one was bad and the other was average.
Rizal Bin Othman
$8.20 for the kaya set meal — I'd say it's alright for a quick breakfast bite!
Meng Foo Chua
Always consistent. Every Toast Box tastes the same, but the price may vary, perhaps due to rental.
Isabella Navarro
Coffee bun is done perfectly. Can't go wrong for $2.30.
