Neat little spot for a quick catch-up with traditional dishes – the wait time for food was reasonable, considering the nonstop queue (in the morning on a weekday). Ginger milk tea was flavourful! So was French toast with smoked cheese. The serving of kaya is generous.

I tried the French toast, Kaya peanut, and a steamed bread set, along with coffee and ginger tea. I can't say it's great, but it's good and reasonably priced. The toast is like any other toast you'd find outside, but the peanut butter is something you won't find elsewhere. It's worth trying once. Coffee and tea are okay.

This was one of the experiences we were most excited about in Singapore: trying the famous kaya toast. It certainly lived up to the hype and did not disappoint. While there’s room for improvement in their service, particularly from the cashier, the overall experience was enjoyable. The kaya toast itself was perfect. I adjusted the amount of butter to keep it light and avoid feeling too heavy after eating an entire slice. Instead of coffee, we opted for the iced Milo, and it was absolutely heavenly! We even visited a second branch and couldn’t resist ordering the same set with Milo again—it was that good. Overall, while the experience was enjoyable, I wouldn’t recommend this particular branch due to the lack of warmth from the staff.

Please give it a try. It's really good. Traditional breakfast in Singapore. If you go here early in the morning, go down to the MRT station. Then find the way up to Bugis Junction.

Here's the edited review: A set of coffee and Kaya toast in a specialty cafe like Ya Kun Kaya Toast is definitely going to energize your day. But the real win here was finding a table after ordering! Be mindful that it is always packed with people. I also ordered the Toastwich for my family. Crispy bread with yummy filling was surely a delight for their tummy.

Always crowded, requiring a queue. Many customers were also selfish, sitting alone and hogging tables meant for 2-4 people. They were playing on their phones with earphones even after they had clearly finished eating. No action was taken by the staff to clear out tables occupied by such customers. The food is similar to any other Ya Kun outlet – nothing special, but it offers a comfortable and easy breakfast.

As far as Ya Kun outlets go, this isn't the best. The queue was very long and slow-moving. A single person was taking orders and preparing the food and drinks, while a few more aunties worked in the kitchen, though I'm not sure what they were doing. I ordered a Kopi C Kosong Ice, and it was just OK. It was better than a random kopitiam, but not as good as other Ya Kun outlets. They should improve their process to serve faster.

A Taste of Tradition: Ya Kun Kaya Toast at Bugis Delivers a Classic Singaporean Breakfast For a quintessential Singaporean breakfast experience that hits all the right nostalgic notes, Ya Kun Kaya Toast at Bugis Junction remains a beloved institution. This bustling outlet, conveniently located in the basement of the popular mall, consistently serves up its signature offerings with the comforting flavours that have made Ya Kun a household name. The star of the show, undoubtedly, is the Kaya Toast. Expect delightfully thin, crispy slices of bread, toasted to a perfect golden brown, sandwiching a generous spread of their iconic, fragrant kaya – a sweet, creamy coconut and egg jam. Paired with satisfying slabs of cold butter that melt into the warm toast, it's a simple yet incredibly effective combination that has locals and tourists alike coming back for more. Many opt for the value sets, which typically include this delectable toast alongside perfectly cooked, soft-boiled eggs and a traditional Kopi (coffee) or Teh (tea). The soft-boiled eggs at Ya Kun are often praised for their ideal consistency – runny yolks, ready to be swirled with a dash of dark soy sauce and a sprinkle of white pepper, creating a savoury dip for your toast soldiers. The Kopi, strong, aromatic, and often served with condensed milk, provides that essential caffeine kick and a taste of local coffee shop culture. While the pre-sweetened nature of the traditional Kopi might be a surprise for some, it's an integral part of the authentic Ya Kun experience. The Bugis Junction branch, while often busy, maintains a relatively quick turnover, characteristic of the brand's efficient, no-frills service. The ambiance evokes a sense of old-world charm, with its classic decor reminiscent of traditional Chinese coffee shops, adding to the overall experience. While some long-time patrons might note occasional variations in toast crispiness or portion sizes – a common challenge for large chains – the core appeal of Ya Kun remains strong. The value for money, especially with the set meals, is generally considered good for a satisfying and iconic Singaporean breakfast. In conclusion, Ya Kun Kaya Toast at Bugis offers a reliably delicious and culturally rich breakfast or tea-time treat. It's a must-try for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Singapore's culinary heritage. Be prepared for potential crowds, but the reward of crispy kaya toast, perfect eggs, and fragrant local brew is well worth it.

I had an issue with Bluetooth connectivity on a keyboard. JS and HS at the Bugis Junction outlet were most helpful in resolving it. They tried every means to troubleshoot and ultimately resolved it. As there were no hardware or software issues, they said no payment was required. They were very honest and genuine service staff. Highly recommended!

Friendly customer service was provided! Falisya and Jacob attended to us! They know their stuff well! They were very patient while we took our own sweet time looking for the phones. Highly recommended! Look for them!

Isha is friendly and full of smiles. To Mr Ten JS, a huge and special thank you for your help with my purchases! I really appreciate it, especially since you were busy—it meant a lot that you still took the time to assist me. Thanks again for going above and beyond!

My trade-in experience at this store was not good. My laptop was in good condition, with total usage likely not exceeding 60 days. While trading it in, the male worker told me that my laptop wouldn't be worth much and might sell for around $180. He initially offered me $150, but the price was eventually reduced to $120 due to a missing screw. I hadn't opened it before, and I questioned this assessment. Then, after a few weeks, I noticed the website listed my laptop for sale for $599. I felt cheated, even though I had accepted the deal.

I highly recommend you do NOT deal with them. I was liaising with them on Carousell regarding one of their smartphones, and they told me to come down to view the phone. As I was on my way down a few days later, they informed me that the colour I wanted was sold out. When I reached, they then told me that other colours of the same model were not available at their shop and were instead at their warehouse. Why did they call me down to view the phone if they had no stock available at their store? If they needed time to bring the stock over, they should have informed me beforehand. This is treating people like a fool and wasting their time. I strongly encourage you to find another handphone store to deal with. Their customer service is absolutely horrendous.

I purchased an HP EliteBook from MyHalo recently and am happy with it. The service staff was friendly and helpful. The laptop seems to serve me well for now, and I hope it will remain effective for a long time.

I was lucky to stumble upon this store. After having a bad experience with a seller on Carousel, I looked for reliable phone resellers online. I was looking for an iPhone mini in good condition, with some sort of warranty for my peace of mind. I learned that Compasia doesn't have a store in Singapore, and Mr Mobile didn't have what I needed. I had almost given up until I went to the Myhalo store in Bugis. At first, I was hesitant, but the non-pushy sales staff helped me find what I was after. The quality of their phone was immaculate, and one could tell they were serious about keeping only the best products. They weren't trying to make a quick buck by focusing on high volume sales. Instead, they focused on good quality and better margins. I paid a good price, higher than other stores, but I'm glad I did, as their product was like new. I will definitely recommend them and buy again. I also quite liked their passion for recycling and building awareness around electronic waste. Well done, and keep up the good work!

Highly recommended if you need help with your devices. They are very helpful and friendly. I changed my phone battery here and faced some problems along the way. They tried their best to help, and when the promised return time was exceeded, they offered to send it to my home via LALAMOVE, nicely wrapped in a box and a recyclable bag.

Went in to buy a phone an hour before closing, and the transaction was fast and seamless. Taras, the person who assisted us, was very polite and helpful. The phone is in wonderful condition, and I'm very happy with my purchase. They also have a good sustainability initiative, as they take in old electronics to be recycled for parts. Even their packaging is made from recycled materials! I will definitely return!

Excellent Customer Service Experience! I recently purchased a phone from Skyler, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Skyler was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, guiding me through the different phone options and helping me find the perfect one for my needs. Skyler was patient with all my questions, never rushing me, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. What really stood out was Skyler's attention to detail and their willingness to go above and beyond to ensure I had a smooth experience. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, and I left feeling confident about my purchase. I highly recommend Skyler for anyone looking for excellent customer service when buying a phone. I'll definitely be coming back for future purchases!

Happily surprised by the service and products offered here. The staff were truly knowledgeable, able to demonstrate the good condition of refurbished and second-hand items. They offer a warranty for items sold. A large variety of handphones and laptops are available for ALL budgets. It really makes you wonder if you should buy new, when you can buy semi-new for half the price sometimes. I've gotten an ultra-high-end phone from two years ago for less than half the price of the newest version, in perfect mint condition. Highly recommend. Also, if you don't want to contribute to more e-waste, this place helps save working hardware from landfill.
