in Teck Chye Lane before moving to Lavender Street. A decade on, the founders expand their brand of Thai flair meets Nanyang heritage by launching Yaowarat Cafe at Tanjong Pagar. It\u2019s located near the main entrance of Skysuites @ Anson, roughly a five-minute walk from the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/beautiful-mrt-stations-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MRT station<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Before heading down, you need to know that the cafe is pretty compact: 30 seats, which fill up fast during lunchtime. In fact, I was told the place gets packed from 11am, only easing off after 2pm. So if you\u2019re considering visiting, afternoon tea is ideal. No jostling with hungry folks, and you get the place all to yourself. Just brace for certain items being sold out for the day.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_339339\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-339339\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-339339 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/yaowarat-cafe-singapore-ss-interior-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Cafe interior | Yaowarat Cafe in Singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/yaowarat-cafe-singapore-ss-interior-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/yaowarat-cafe-singapore-ss-interior-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/yaowarat-cafe-singapore-ss-interior.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-339339\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Sufyan Saad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What I liked about the cafe were the vintage knick-knacks and nods to Thailand.

Photography: Sufyan Saad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Yaowarat Cafe\u2019s claim to fame is the kai krata, aka Thai breakfast pan eggs. For $7.80, you get two fried eggs, Thai basil minced pork, fish sausage, and a layer of melted cheddar cheese, all served in a sizzling pan. Popular as a quick, affordable breakfast in Thailand, it&#8217;s the kind of hearty dish locals grab before heading off to work.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to dip the accompanying crisp baguette into the egg yolks! The crisp baguette adds a satisfying crunch against the runny yolks and savoury toppings. It may not look like much, but this humble breakfast dish is exactly what I&#8217;d return for. Consider this a solid introduction to street fare popular in north and northeastern Thailand.<\/p>\n<p>The cafe also offers a localised version known as the Nanyang kai krata ($9.80), retaining the eggs and swapping everything else for a thick slab of otah, two chicken franks, and ikan bilis. It\u2019s like having two familiar flavours smooshed into one dish, though some diners might baulk at the lack of \u201cAsian carbs\u201d (rice).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_339341\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-339341\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-339341 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/yaowarat-cafe-singapore-ss-thai-green-tea-kaya-toast-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Thai green tea kaya toast | Yaowarat Cafe in Singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/yaowarat-cafe-singapore-ss-thai-green-tea-kaya-toast-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/yaowarat-cafe-singapore-ss-thai-green-tea-kaya-toast-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/yaowarat-cafe-singapore-ss-thai-green-tea-kaya-toast.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-339341\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thai green tea kaya toast.

The kitchen was out of chunky bread during my visit, so I had to settle for soft, slightly thin toast.

The most familiar item on the menu is the Tomyum Mama seafood pot ($8.80), made with Thailand\u2019s iconic instant noodles alongside seafood and eggs. One sip of the broth and you\u2019re back in Bangkok, enjoying comfort food after a long day.<\/p>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t decide which rice dish I preferred \u2013 the tuk tuk chicken rice ($8.80) or the hotplate basil rice ($7.80). The latter is a staple at any <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/thai-food-restaurants-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thai restaurant in Singapore<\/a>, but the chicken rice edged out a win (by a hair!) thanks to the brighter presentation.

I reckon it wouldn\u2019t have generated as much buzz if the business had played it safe. Keeping the prices below $10 is another draw, proving that not all food spots in the CBD are out to drain your wallet.<\/p>\n<p>The cafe&#8217;s biggest draw is, unsurprisingly, the kai krata. The rest of the menu offers solid supporting acts, but Singapore&#8217;s first Thai breakfast pan eggs remain the main reason to make the trip. Overall, it\u2019s a solid spot where you can tuck into casual eats, enjoy mindless, non-work-related conversations, and eventually think about making that umpteenth trip to Bangkok.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"frequently-asked-questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><div id=\"faqs-accordion\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-yaowarat-cafes-claim-to-fame\"><\/span>What is Yaowarat Cafe&#039;s claim to fame?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><div><p>Yaowarat Cafe stands out for introducing Singapore's very first Thai breakfast kai krata concept.
