Have a Delicious Breakfast on Orchard Road! 3 Recommended Shops

Orchard Road is Singapore’s premier shopping area, lined with shopping centers, department stores, and hotels. Before you start your shopping spree, why not wake up early and enjoy breakfast on Orchard Road? While you can also go for hotel breakfast buffets at hotels other than the one you're staying at, there are also cafés that serve delicious breakfast. Here are 3 recommended cafés for breakfast—hope you find them useful!

1. Wild Honey Scotts Square

Located in Scotts Square, a shopping mall just off Orchard Station, Wild Honey offers breakfast menus from 17 countries around the world. You probably haven’t heard of such an extensive breakfast menu even at top hotels, right? The menu details are fully listed, so read them carefully and choose wisely. If you can’t picture the dish, just ask a staff member—they will show you photos on an iPad.

Popular items include the English breakfast and Tunisian breakfast, among others. You might have fun sharing different items with your friends from countries like America, Norway, and Spain. Since it can get crowded on weekend mornings, it’s recommended to visit on weekdays. It’s a comfortable café, so besides breakfast, it’s also a great spot to take a break from shopping on Orchard Road.

2. Ya Kun Kaya Toast

No discussion of Singaporean breakfast is complete without mentioning kaya toast. For tourists, chain outlets are easy to enter, and the most common outlet is Ya Kun Kaya Toast. It is an established store that is said to have popularized kaya toast throughout Singapore.

Kaya toast is toast spread with kaya jam—a slightly green jam made from eggs, coconut milk, pandan leaves, and sugar. The classic version is thin-sliced toast, but recently some outlets offer thick, fluffy toast as well. The toast is baked crisp, generously spread with kaya jam, and layered with thinly sliced butter to perfection.

When you order a set of kaya toast and local coffee (kopi), you will always receive a soft-boiled egg as a side. The local style is to crack the egg onto your plate, drizzle with soy sauce, and spread it on the toast. Ya Kun Kaya Toast also offers meal menus such as chicken curry and laksa, making it suitable for lunch as well.

3. THE PROVIDORE

Located on the 2nd floor of Mandarin Gallery on Orchard Road, THE PROVIDORE is a stylish café renowned for its delicious and extensive breakfast menu. On weekdays, breakfast is served from 9:00 to 12:00, and on weekends and public holidays from 9:00 to 15:00. Since many chic cafés in Singapore open around 11:00 at the earliest, THE PROVIDORE is a rare gem where you can leisurely enjoy breakfast.

Their Spanish bagged eggs and pancake menus are highly recommended. They also offer ricotta pancakes, which have a different texture from the light, fluffy pancakes —the moistness of the ricotta cheese adds a rich, substantial quality. Instead of maple syrup, they drizzle an additive-free syrup made from beet sugar, which pairs perfectly to create pancakes that are said to be addictive. They also sell their delicious, house-grown original coffee in-store.

◎ Summary

While hotel breakfast buffets are great, sometimes it’s fun to change the atmosphere and have breakfast outdoors. All the shops around Orchard Road introduced here are highly recommended. In particular, if you’re looking for a type of breakfast you can rarely experience in your country, Ya Kun Kaya Toast is a must-check. Once you fall in love with their kaya jam, you might even want to buy some as a souvenir. Experience the set of kaya toast, coffee, and soft-boiled eggs loved by Singaporeans at least once!
