You’ll find our favorite local coffee shop, YY Kafei Dian, two blocks away from the famous Raffles Hotel where the Singapore Sling was invented. They serve things like kaya toast, a white bread bun loaded with coconut jam and butter that’s part-sandwich, part-dessert, and claypot noodles loaded with pork, Chinese cabbage, and egg. This small spot on Beach Road makes their kaya and buns in-house before toasting them on a griddle that’s been around forever. Grab a bun and a coffee, then stroll over to the Raffles Hotel to explore the grounds.
