Bao Er Cafe's new outlet in Holland Village brings old-school charm & kaya toast magic
As we bid farewell to veterans like Crystal Jade and Wala Wala Cafe Bar, Holland Village is welcoming a nostalgic new addition, and it smells like toast and wok hei. Bao Er Cafe, known for drawing long queues at its Balestier flagship, is now bringing its beloved local fare to the heart of Holland Village.
What's new:
Larger space, 70 pax seating
Extended hours: 7am – 10pm
Slight price increases
Slated to open on 1 Jul at 24A Lorong Mambong, this 2nd outlet comes with more seats, longer hours, and a prime location in the west-central belt. Currently, there are no new items planned for Bao Er Cafe's new outlet due to manpower constraints. The menu remains the same as their OG Balestier outlet for the time being.
No complaints here as we love Bao Er Cafe's signature dishes! Their best-selling Butter Toast Set (S$6) (S$5 at Balestier) includes 4 golden, crisp toast halves generously slathered with house-made coconut kaya and cold slabs of butter. It's served alongside 2 soft-boiled eggs and a kopi or teh of your choice.
Their kaya has a custard-like richness and a just-sweet-enough profile that pairs beautifully with the salted butter. Can't get enough of it? Bao Er Cafe also sells their by the jar at S$7.50 for 250ml, for your everyday breakfast.
Another fan favourite is the Signature Deluxe Hokkien (S$10.80) (S$9 at Balestier), a seafood-laden spin on their classic version. Prawns, squid and even scallops come tossed in an umami-rich gravy that coats each strand of noodle, all kissed with that coveted wok hei. Pro tip: stir in their tangy, house-made chilli for a zesty kick.
With this 2nd outlet, Bao Er Café hopes to be more accessible to customers with its west-central location. Whether you're craving kaya toast at 8am or wok hei noodles by noon, Bao Er Cafe's new outlet is more than ready to deliver.
