In celebration of Singapore’s 60th birthday, a wave of nostalgic pride and excitement has swept across the island — and what better way to embrace that spirit than through food that feels like home? Enter Ya Kun Kaya Toast’s latest promotion, rolled out specially to commemorate SG60. Known for their rich local heritage and time-honoured breakfast staples, Ya Kun has come up with two limited-time delights that offer a delightful nod to tradition, reimagined with modern flair.
From 11 July to 31 August 2025, fans of traditional kopitiam culture and adventurous foodies alike can enjoy two new menu items designed to warm the heart and tantalise the tastebuds — the Durian Kaya Toast and the Bandung Lychee Swiss Roll. These creations are available at all Ya Kun outlets islandwide, so it’s a treat that’s as accessible as it is indulgent.
What Makes This Promotion Worth the Visit?
There’s something incredibly comforting about Ya Kun’s menu — it’s where locals and tourists come together to share the warmth of soft-boiled eggs, perfectly brewed kopi, and, of course, that iconic kaya toast. But this SG60 special goes beyond the classics, introducing new items with a distinct local twist, while still honouring the nostalgic flavours that many grew up with.
This promotion isn’t just about trying something new — it’s about celebrating what makes Singaporean food culture so distinct. Whether it’s the unmistakable aroma of pandan, the rich texture of durian, or the floral sweetness of bandung, these are flavours that evoke memories of growing up on the island. And now, they’re wrapped into two incredibly tempting limited-time items.
Durian Kaya Toast – A Decadent Twist on a National Staple
Let’s begin with the Durian Kaya Toast — possibly the most iconic reinterpretation in this SG60 menu. Ya Kun has boldly brought together two Singaporean favourites: their signature kaya toast and the king of fruits, real D24 durian.
If the name alone didn’t pique your curiosity, the taste certainly will. The toast, made from pandan and gula melaka-infused bread, holds a thick, luscious spread of D24 durian, blended with Ya Kun’s fragrant kaya. The first bite reveals a delightful contrast — sweet and creamy durian meets the caramelised notes of palm sugar and the earthy aroma of pandan. It’s intense, bold, and unapologetically local.
This one’s made for durian lovers — a celebration of bold flavours, much like the nation it’s inspired by. It’s not something one finds on just any menu, and that’s precisely why it deserves a try.
Bandung Lychee Swiss Roll – Soft, Sweet and Whimsical
Next up, the Bandung Lychee Swiss Roll. Now this might appeal to those who prefer something a bit lighter, fruitier, and aesthetically pleasing on the plate.
This dessert marries the floral rosewater essence of traditional bandung with the subtle sweetness of lychee. Wrapped inside a soft, pink-hued sponge cake, the cream filling is smooth and mildly sweet, punctuated by little bits of real lychee fruit that give it a refreshing bite.
What makes it special is not just the flavour, but the texture. The roll is light, fluffy, and not too cloying, making it a perfect pairing with a cup of kopi or teh from Ya Kun’s beverage range. It’s a soft, celebratory touch that’s suitable for all ages and definitely ideal for those Instagram-worthy flat-lay moments.
The Mystery Item – A Teaser for the Curious
Adding a little fun to this SG60 rollout, Ya Kun has teased one more item, inviting fans to guess what’s next. While the details haven’t yet been revealed, this light-hearted interaction keeps the community engaged — and guessing. Will it be another dessert? A drink to complement the new treats? There’s only one way to find out: keep an eye on their announcements or, better yet, swing by and ask at the outlet. This kind of interactive campaign adds a nice human touch to the celebration.
Why Go Now?
There’s a deeper reason why this promotion is worth more than just a bite. It’s about celebrating Singaporean identity through flavour. In a time when so many food outlets are leaning heavily into global trends, Ya Kun remains grounded in local tradition — and this SG60 celebration is a fine example of how they continue to honour that legacy while offering something new.
Furthermore, it’s a rare occasion to enjoy premium ingredients like D24 durian in such an accessible way. Usually, durian-based desserts can be rather pricey or reserved for high-end dining experiences. Here, you’re getting a generous helping inside your toast, for a fraction of what you’d expect to pay elsewhere. That’s real value.
It’s also the kind of promotion that’s easy to fit into daily life. Whether it’s a morning pick-me-up, an afternoon snack, or a casual weekend brunch, these limited-time items don’t require any prior planning or reservations. Just walk into your nearest Ya Kun outlet, and you’re part of the celebration.
And with outlets located all around Singapore — from the heartlands to the business district — there’s really no excuse not to give it a try.
Ideal for Locals and Tourists Alike
This promotion also serves as a wonderful introduction to Singapore’s unique flavour palette for those visiting from abroad. It offers tourists the chance to sample beloved local tastes in a clean, reliable setting — especially important for those who may not be familiar with hawker culture.
For locals, it’s a chance to relive the tastes of childhood, but with an upgraded twist. Whether you’re a durian aficionado or someone who simply enjoys fluffy cakes and nostalgic flavours, this promotion delivers on all fronts.
Conclusion
In the flurry of SG60 celebrations around the country, it’s easy to get lost in the noise. But some experiences are worth slowing down for — and a trip to Ya Kun Kaya Toast to enjoy their limited-time durian toast and bandung roll is one such experience.
These treats are a nod to the past, a celebration of the present, and a toast (pun intended) to Singapore’s ever-evolving food story. Affordable, accessible, and undeniably local — this is one promotion that deserves a place on your foodie calendar.
