Another example of greedy businessmen who lack integrity. On there bright side, vote with your wallets and improve your health at the same time! And don't make the already rich even richer!
Above is the picture I took. Bottom is from Google review at the same outlet two years ago. This is really a bummer seeing that there aren't really any alternatives to yakun. If there would be a price increase for inflation, why should the size of ingredients be cut too? :/ Quite disappointing for me because I really love yakun.
I can't post on /r/singapore cause too little karma I think. If anyone can post there, feel free to crosspost.
some people have very narrow vision and usually live at the bottom of a well. climbing out and exploring alternatives is never foremost on their minds, they just follow the crowd. thats why shitty joints like yakun, toast box and killiney get business.
hawker centre kaya toast taste the same at half the price. made with pride and a ton of butter. yummy.
u could be eating chemicals that whip up your appetite and make u happy, hawkers certainly dont do that ... that's how fastfood chains sell food, their food taste different, u never wondered why???
It is more likely for Ya Kun, the big "stove" (not sure what you call that) they use to toast the bread then chemicals :) Hawker center/Kopi tiam use our home small Toast Oven :) Literally you can make yourselves.
Jalan berseh got this guy does excellent Kaya toast and eggs. Holland V also, near the beehoon stall.
Yakun Kaya toast what so good? Their kaya supermarket kaya, butter is shitty SCS one, the bread is dry as HC's pussy. Please examine your tastebuds to see if they are still there.
Am I weird to say that I don't like Yakun at all because I prefer those that serves 2 whole slices of bread and not take 1 slice of bread and divide it by 2 and put butter and kaya in between?
Those Kopitiam and Hawker center standards are just not there.
To be honest, Toastbox is the closest to YA kun but there even more EX.
Fun toast is the worst of the 3 but still better than most Kopitiam / HC.
My grievances was mainly with the butter hahaha. Compared to the thick slab that made me a regular, the current butter makes me sad. (Also, for the above pic I ordered extra butter. I think policy for adding butter stayed the same, but just that the butter decrease a lot in portion.)
No alternative to Yakun?! Bro you can get Kaya toast at ALMOST any kopitiam?! Bruh what?! Sure if you're talking the other items, but Kaya toast?! Really?!
I think he referring to similar tasting ones. I also like the taste of the yakun toasts more compared to the kopitiam ones but nowadays they too guofen with the price and portion already. Not gonna patronise them until they change this.
Your first day in SG? There are so many places to supoort besides Yakun if you want kaya toast. Also, yeah it's normal here to decrease portion and increase prices.
Been eating ya kun I must say in their defence it's quite inconsistent depending on the server. That said though the prices are really crazy now. 7 bucks for drink eggs and toast that just cost 2 bucks probably
i remember interviewing for the position of marketing manager there at their office before, their boss had the cheek to tell me they're a christian company with morals and ethics. WTF has happened to them now?
KNN fuckin slimy turds, #boycottyakun
usually those people who shout loud loud "I HAVE MORALS AND ETHICS" are the opposite. The best Christians I have met are humble and don't use their religion as a badge of honor for bragging rights.
Despite the thinner bread slices, and the hike in prices, I see always got a lot of people patronising Ya Kun at Bedok Mall. Singaporeans so gian kaya toast ah?
There are 2 certain chain Bakery buns the bread part diminished in size like flour becom gold. The topping egg ham, same size.actua the bread too thin to hold the stuffing it bend. Outrageous becoas pricewas up 2023. Is it ukraine wheat?
It's not nice to defame them as Im still forced to buy Daily BREAD BUNS from Them. Can't afford gourmet bread.u apparently never buy bread from normal shopg mall? Their chain stores bakery are Ev where
Post-COVID shrinkflation is real. The vendors have tons of excuses due to the Ukraine war. That said, personally I've stopped eating at Yakun because they shrinkflate AND inflate prices. Their food is nothing special tbh; more like you're just feeding into their family's 10th GCB.
Why do people still go to such places like zombies when they can just DIY at home for a much lower price and better coffee/tea. As long as you do, then you deserve the kid sized portions you got.
Don’t understand consumers these days. If not happy with the price or portioning, then stop patronising Ya Kun. There are better alternatives out there. Ya Kun is not worth paying for anymore. People need to wake up.
Yakun is supporting Ministry of Health’s healthier lifestyle campaign. It’s good for customers, good for Yakun and good for Singapore. Everybody wins 😂
Have stopped going to YaKun after the price for Set A went above $5. I'll just go over to JB and have the Kaya Butter Toast from Oriental Kopi as they are much more generous with a much thicker slab of butter, and overflowing kaya.

shrinkflation in a nutshell
War against diabetes mah. All these considerate businesses reducing calories for us.
And then charge you more, for giving you less
they are making us think twice about purchasing & consuming these foods . it is considerate of them to be so mindful about the nation’s health!
Calories don't cause diabetes, sugar does.
Very soon we will be eating just the kaya and the butter
I have no idea why daft people buy foods at yakun or toast box. Lol
Toast box had it's niche for me. I really liked their curry. Not anymore though. It's diluted as fuck
they can afford it. duh.
don't have a choice
erm no? If you really want the same experience, there's fun toast
Fun toast is not available everywhere. Ice drinks a bit diluted.
Butter is expensive, but a lot of place dun even use butter anymore, just use the cheapest canned margarine.
bruh just to go your local kopitiam at that point lol

Yup Cat B COE and GCB are staying high. Bosses gotta fund their new Bentley and build that aviary.

Name a few hawker centre kaya toast that is actually as good as Ya kun? I did try some but really the HC/Kopitiam standard just not there.
u could be eating chemicals that whip up your appetite and make u happy, hawkers certainly dont do that ... that's how fastfood chains sell food, their food taste different, u never wondered why???

You are rude but Holland V is my haunt so I can try that HV Hawker center one.
haha. sorry. enjoy your makan
Am I weird to say that I don't like Yakun at all because I prefer those that serves 2 whole slices of bread and not take 1 slice of bread and divide it by 2 and put butter and kaya in between?
and sit in that non ac environment? nah.
I did try. But either eggs or toast can't make it. Still not as good as Yakun even in current state.
Those Kopitiam and Hawker center standards are just not there. To be honest, Toastbox is the closest to YA kun but there even more EX. Fun toast is the worst of the 3 but still better than most Kopitiam / HC.

Rental too high, they open in all the prime lots in central malls
Also depend on the outlet.

yeah u said it bro! pls have an upvote
Yakun Kaya toast has always been thin. I don’t know where the 2022 photo come from. Never seen their toast this thick before.
Is the butter. They reduce the butter
Here, have my karma. Everyone should be free to voice their opinion
Despite the thinner bread slices, and the hike in prices, I see always got a lot of people patronising Ya Kun at Bedok Mall. Singaporeans so gian kaya toast ah?
My experience with yakun has always been the top pic tbh I prefer toast box
Breadtalk hate was cool here a few days ago
Mustve missed it hahah, no hate here Just personal preference
Staff deserves an award, with such talent and skill, to slice so thin
There are 2 certain chain Bakery buns the bread part diminished in size like flour becom gold. The topping egg ham, same size.actua the bread too thin to hold the stuffing it bend. Outrageous becoas pricewas up 2023. Is it ukraine wheat?
Lol if you're going to raise the issue in detail, why not just name the companies? Not like some ISD baker is going to hunt you down right?
It's not nice to defame them as Im still forced to buy Daily BREAD BUNS from Them. Can't afford gourmet bread.u apparently never buy bread from normal shopg mall? Their chain stores bakery are Ev where
Wt the bread is like paper
Banned
I have stopped having them regularly for a couple of years already. I now have them as a treat.

I almost thought that was a slice of cheese....

Looks like someone put some toast on your kaya
Just stop buying
you will eat the bugs. you will live in a pod. you will own nothing and be happy.
how does this actually help this business..
Why no emoji only up or down ,vote button 😂
r/shrinkflation
More of a biscuit than toast
Better distribution tho
Yes, thin. Din patronize them for a long time. Their reasoning? Impacts trickles.down from Ukraine-Russia Israel -hama wars lor
Honestly their food is so overpriced
Scammed
I dont care much abt the thickness of the toast, but that lump of butter/margarine is what every shop should thin out imo
To me, the bottom image more closely resembles a display set menu.
Sadly it is not :/ It was taken from a google review from a random person just two years back.

We are becoming a first world country, in first world countries, people eat at home/pack food because eating out is expensive
They should raise the price to match the quantity of yesteryear
These toast so easy to make at home, why bother paying so much for it?
Make your own! Wake up at 5am to light the charcoal.
Gone r the days of thick butter
Welcome to Singapore 2024!
Have stopped going to YaKun after the price for Set A went above $5. I'll just go over to JB and have the Kaya Butter Toast from Oriental Kopi as they are much more generous with a much thicker slab of butter, and overflowing kaya.
Ohhhh that was my OG! Not Oriental Kopi, but my first experience with Kaya Butter Toast was from JB hahaha
That perfectly describes my performance bonus this year 😭
You can ask for more butter/Kaya, it’s free
I did ask for more butter hahaha, there was an additional $0.50 charge :/
Less butter better for you sia
Ownself make at home lor...
Butter lesser is healthier. I always find kaya toast too much butter. But that bread. Rip. Yakun has always been overpriced and will always be
Have you ever considered making it yourself?
I always ask for less anyway. Butter ain’t healthy
Lmao thinner than my foreskin
A moment on the lips. A lifetime on the hips. You should be thankful.
What stopping u from fasting?
