Breakfast at Ya Kun Kaya Toast in the Airport
The Ya Kun Kaya Toast sign. I'd hoped the photo would allow me to read the story of the chain (because I didn't have time to stand there and read it myself). No such luck. Happily, the story can be read at the company's web site.	The counter and menu.	Kaya toast, a (very) soft-boiled egg, and tea with milk. Kaya is a coconut-egg jam. I was initially disappointed with my toast. It looked like ordinary toast, though admittedly toasted well, with a slab of butter. I wondered if I ordered wrong. But then I tasted the kaya jam, so lightly colored as to be practically invisible, and was happy. I like this spread on toast. The butter was unnecessary. I also enjoyed my strong tea with milk. I forgot how good a strongly-brewed, caffeinated tea can taste.
Flight to Hong Kong
"Fried rice with fish" (fine), assorted fruit, buttery bread with a hard center (which I ate around), and, most importantly, ice cream. :)

From top-to-bottom, left-to-right: mesclun salad with chicken and a balsamic vinegar dressing. marble cheesecake. the rectangular container which held the entree I selected: fusilli with pumpkin in a white wine cream sauce. Artificially brightened.	From top-to-bottom, left-to-right: fresh fruit (including dragon fruit once again, just like on the way to Singapore) croissant the rectangular container which held the breakfast I selected: omelette with ricotta and red peppers, hash brown potato, sliced pork, a grilled tomato, and somewhat creamy mushrooms.
