I just had the legendary expensive Toast set at Ya Kun, and guess what? I paid $7.30 for their toast set with butter kaya toast, two soft-boiled eggs, and an upsized Teh C.
That's a lot!
The Expensive Toast Set
Now, let's think about this. $7.30 just for toast and eggs?
That sounds really expensive, right? I mean, it's just a simple toast set, bread, eggs and drink.
But here's the thing that really got me thinking: for less money, you can get a whole meal at McDonald's!
McDonald's for Less!
Did you know that for only $5.95, you can get a McChicken meal at McDonald's?
If you top up abit, you can even get medium fries, and McChicken with cheese for $7.25!
That's right, a full meal with a burger, fries, and a drink, and it's cheaper than the Ya Kun toast set!
What's Going On?
So, why is the toast set so expensive? It's just toast, eggs, and tea. But at McDonald's, you get more food for less money.
It doesn't make sense to me.
Why Pay More When You Can Make It Yourself?
So, I've come up with a clever solution. Why not make our own breakfast set at home?
It's easy, fun, and most importantly, way more affordable!
DIY Toast Set: Easy and Cost-Effective
Here's what you need for your homemade breakfast set:
Toast Bread: Grab your favorite bread from the local supermarket or bakery. ~ $2.50
Kaya: This delicious coconut and egg jam is the star of the show. Available in most stores, or you can even make it at home! ~ $2 to $10 per jar
Butter: A little butter goes a long way for that rich, creamy taste. ~ $6+
Eggs: Soft-boil them just the way you like. ~ $7 for a Tray of 30 Eggs
Your Favorite Beverage: Whether it's tea, coffee, or something cold, pick what you love to drink in the morning. ~ $6 - $7 for 13 Sticks
So we average out per meal we are having
2 slices of Bread = $0.30
2 Eggs = $0.50
Kaya  = Say $0.20 per usage
Butter = 1 Bar of $6 can use for 20 servings = $0.30
Beverage = $0.50
Total = Approximate $1.80!
Of course, you will be saying we need crispy bread like Ya Kun, and also perfectly timed Soft Boil Eggs.
So the additional equipments we need is probably the airfryer or Toaster and the soft boiled Egg equipment.
Airfryer - From $60Â
Toaster - From $30
Soft Boil Egg Maker - From $5
The Benefits of DIY

You get to make your toast just how you like it. More kaya? Less butter? It's all up to you! I will go for more butter anytime!

Involve the kids! It's a fun way to spend time together and teach them about saving money and cooking.
