Bao Er Cafe

Kaya toast . First bites were enjoyable; very aromatic homemade kaya . Halfway through, I felt “jelak” from the over-sweetness. I’m told they may mix condensed milk into their kaya recipe!

Order, pay & wait for ur buzzer to go off. When it gets busy, hang on to buzzer, as cafe uses it to summon u to collect individual items whenever they’re ready

Their menu offering. Three hero items: fried Hokkien mee , “har cheong kai” (fried prawn paste chicken wing ), & kaya butter toast

Tight & limited seating on level 2. Avoid coming during peak meal time; folks linger a bit after they r done as the place is quite chill

I’m going to give the kaya toast one more try after a morning run. Hokkien mee (which is very good) wok hei game strong so your clothes might smell.

“Har cheong kai” (fried prawn paste chicken , $12 for 4pcs). Will not order again. The colour alone put us off; it was orangey! Meat tasted like a normal fried chicken , missing the prawn aroma

Dishes associated with prawn . All are delicious. Their kaya toast is heaven. Must try even is bloated

Limited seating . And when it gets busy, overstretched staff don’t have time to clean up. So be prepared for some level of messiness

Fried Hokkien mee ($7). Avoid weekend mealtimes, as standards drop due to chaos. This Sunday plate was overly bitter, blanketing any prawn essence within

Using traditional bread , well-toasted & sliced in half. Place end up smelling smoky too, due to poor kitchen ventilation

Sitting within cafe , ur clothes will end up smelling of food & smoke. Extremely poor ventilation

SO. MUCH. TOAST .
