BBC News story: Ya Kun Coffee International

[GoldenDragon]

Branding, marketing, and prime locations.

I just don't see the value of patronizing Breadtalk's businesses.

Agree. For some, the need to be seen at these places. Supposedly 'higher class.' I have yet to patronise these joints. Too expensive and inconvenient. Need to walk away to smoke.

speaking of these food places how is mark lee's old town? His suntec city branch is huge.

I don't get it. Ya Kun's toasts are so damn thin with so much butter and kaya. Nice meh?

Food is always about balance, but looking at the crowd at Ya Kun and Toast Box, I think most people don't understand this...

Old Chang Kee was also quite awesome before they started commercializing and franchising the shit out of it.

Everything in Singapore now is a hollow mockery - like a vampire, humanoid in form but parasitic and utterly devoid of life and warmth.

Little India, just like other more 'authentic cultural places' e.g. Geylang, Chinatown, Joo Chiat, old Satay Club etc all have a wide variety of good food.

I bet you've never eaten authentic Ah Neh food. Your loss.

The only coffee shop that I miss was the one in The "Arcade" at Raffles place. Back in those days Isaac was located at the Arcade & I would sometimes visit this coffee shop after visiting Isaac. Actually I miss the chendol & ham egg sandwhich that they had . Don't know how they made the ham & egg but it was really nice, served with white bread.

Unfortunately it was in the past & I doubt they are still around :(
