Best old-school breakfast spots in Singapore

Breakfast is arguably the most important meal of the day, and Singapore provides a plethora of options for us to choose from. However, before aesthetic cafes and grab-and-go sandwiches became our go-to breakfast options, Singaporeans’ typical breakfasts included charcoal-grilled kaya toast, butter coffee, chwee kueh and more. So, if you are on a hunt for a good ol’ kaya toast to reminisce about the past, here are the best old-school breakfast spots in Singapore you should try!

1. Serangoon Garden Bakery & Confectionery

For freshly baked buns available from 6am, head to Serangoon Garden Bakery & Confectionery. You’ll find all kinds of old-school breads here, from the classic Coconut ($1.30) and Cream Puff ($1.10) to Chicken Sausage ($1.30) and Curry Bun ($1.40). The bakery is open till 2pm, but we hear that their buns usually sell out before the closing hour so we recommend making your way down slightly eralier to secure the goods.
