Hawker Behind Popular Old Airport Rd Kaya Toast Stall Co-Invests $300K Into Café In CBD
Toast Hut’s kaya toast often sells out by 11am at Old Airport Rd. Now you can eat it all day at a fancier new outlet opened by the hawker and his family.

If you’re a fan of Toast Hut at Old Airport Road Food Centre, you’ll know that their kaya butter toast and Hainanese-style kopi are often sold out by 11am. Now, you can enjoy the same snacks on the all-day menu at the hawker stall's new air-conditioned outpost in the Central Business District without having to endure the long queues.
Toast meister Melvin Soh has been honing his craft part-time since he was 17 at a local kaya toast chain Ya Kun. At 23, after graduating from ITE with a certificate in Electrical Engineering – “but I’ve never worked in that industry” – he started his own hawker stall at Old Airport Road due to his strong interest in F&B. After all, he grew up helping out his father, a retired hawker who ran an economic rice stall.
