On Lok Yun

I love Ham Cheese Eggs so much !! I’m Thai and I pass by this place all the time. It’s like the original, an old, traditional shop. The menu is simple and easy to understand, but the taste is really delicious.

The pretty lady at the outside counter could smile more and be a bit more polite to new customers visiting for the first time. Other than that, everything here was very nice and friendly. The boss lady taught us how to mix the sauces and explained it well. Really love the vibe here. Still has that old-school feel — simple and happy kind of breakfast.

On Luk Yun, tucked in the heart of Old Siam, feels like stepping back into a traditional ASEAN breakfast scene from the early ’90s. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t just fill your stomach, it warms your heart, too. I loved the toast and their kaya. It’s quite different from the Singaporean version tho. Thai kaya is creamier and more custard-like, while the Singaporean one has a deeper, caramelized sugar flavor. Honestly, I preferred the Thai style. The bread was incredibly soft, too, like a Filipino loaf bread but without the crusty edges. It was almost unreal how pillowy it felt. The breakfast sampler was also amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever had bacon and hotdogs that satisfying in my 20s! The Chinese sausage was another favorite, it added a nostalgic, flavorful kick to the whole meal. The line was long, but it moved quickly and was absolutely worth the wait. Id definitely come back!

Visited this place over ten years ago when it was still a hidden gem — getting a seat in the morning was a breeze. These days, it’s a different story. Even at the same hour, there’s a queue system with number cards, and it’s not just locals anymore; tourists are flocking in too. Used to be a little secret, until social media spilled the beans! That said, the staff are still just as cheerful and incredibly friendly. Prices remain very affordable, which makes the wait worthwhile.

On Lok Yun isn’t really a hidden gem anymore — even the MRT has signs showing which exit to take and how to get there. It’s super easy to find, and in my experience (been here twice), it kind of stands out on its own. The first time we came, we hadn’t even stepped inside yet when two uncles working there (maybe the owners?) immediately stood up and offered us a table. That already gave me a really good feeling — major points for hospitality. Ordering was smooth — they have an English menu. One of the uncles even mixed a sauce for us to dip our food in. Another uncle came over and poured us some tea, saying, “This is Chinese tea.” Right then and there, I thought — I have to bring my dad here. I just knew he’d love the way they work — efficient, focused, and very intentional. So we came back, this time with my dad. And yup, he appreciated the whole setup. They don’t smile a lot or try to be overly friendly — but you can tell they’re working with heart. It’s quiet but meaningful service. I respect that. Food-wise: – Milo toast and butter sugar toast were solid. – Steamed bread was soft and not too sweet (though still a bit too sweet for me, personally). – French toast was just okay — we didn’t reorder it the second time. – The fried egg with sausage — So good 👌🏻 No clue what sausage they used, but I’d eat it again. Definitely coming back. It just feels homey — like you’re having breakfast at your uncle’s house 🫶

A good local coffee shop full of locals and tourists. I came around 9am which there is no queue yet, after this timing there will be a queue which takes around 10 to 30mins. Their food and nice and tasty for me, their service is very good also, always keep the smile on their faces. Make sure you came early if you want to avoid the queue. Best if you take Grab or any e-hailing rides to come here.

Forget about hotel breakfast. Authentic old school breakfast is great here 👍🏻!! Uncle and aunties are friendly here. Fresh Kaya is good, to consume within 3 days if u buy extra bottles back. The ambience is nostalgic and food is great here. Coffee and Milo is nicely made. We requested for less sweet. Easy to get here, just grab a car.

I love atmosphere there. Queue moves fast so it’s okay to join on the queue. Honestly, I think there is nothing to rave about this place. If you have never been before, you can try. For me, I won’t be coming back for the second time. Singapore/Malaysia Kaya toast is better, and no queue. ☺️ No matter what, it is still worth trying and you decide for yourself. Service wise, the staff in the shop are better than the staff giving you the queue number.
