A kopitiam breakfast at home starts with eggs and toast, but the familiar tableware helps complete the experience. From floral cups to a cloth coffee strainer, these eight finds cover spreading, serving and brewing. There are also two jars of kaya, the coconut jam that gives the toast its name.
1. Vintage Kopitiam Cup and Saucer Set (Floral Green)
This ceramic cup and matching saucer bring the traditional green floral pattern of kopitiam tableware to your breakfast table. The cup has a handle, and the flowers can differ slightly between sets. It is a fitting place for your morning coffee alongside eggs and toast.
The set ships from Malaysia. Other pack sizes are sold on the same page, so go for the “1 Set (Cup & Saucer)” one. You get the cup and saucer; the coffee and spoon used to illustrate the breakfast setup are not included.

2. Stainless Steel Toast Rack
This stainless steel wire rack holds slices of bread upright, giving your toast a place on the breakfast table while you work through the kaya and butter. It is useful for lining up the slices as you spread them, especially when toast is the main event.
The rack comes fully assembled, so there is no assembly step to work through before using it for breakfast. It ships from Taiwan. Other sizes are sold on the same page, so go for the “Toast Holder” one for this setup.

3. Glory Nonya Kaya Coconut Jam 400g
Glory Nonya kaya comes in a 400g glass jar, ready for spreading onto your breakfast toast. This coconut egg jam is a product of Singapore and is halal. It is described as low sugar, making that a detail to keep in mind when comparing your usual kaya.
The jar ships from Singapore and gives you the Nonya kaya for this breakfast spread. Hainanese kaya is also sold on the same page, so go for the “Nonya x 1” one. Add it to your toast alongside the butter slices.

4. Butter Cutting Storage Box
This plastic butter dish cuts and stores butter in slices under a sealed lid. When it is time to assemble your kaya toast, you can lift thin pieces onto the bread. The cutting and storage functions sit together in the same box.
The dish is dishwasher safe and free from BPA, a chemical used in some plastics. It ships from Singapore. Other sizes are sold on the same page, so go for the “S Ledged Box” one to get the butter box described here.

5. Glass Soy Sauce Bottle 100ml
This small glass soy sauce bottle has a 100ml capacity and a white lid that opens and closes automatically. It gives dark soy sauce its own container at the breakfast table, whether you like adding it to soft-boiled eggs or to kaya toast.
The bottle ships from Singapore and covers the sauce part of your kopitiam breakfast setup. Other pack sizes are sold on the same page, so go for the “100ml * 1” one. That gets you a single bottle in the 100ml size.

6. White Porcelain Egg Cup
This plain white porcelain egg cup holds a soft-boiled egg upright while you eat it. It suits a breakfast where you want to eat the egg from its shell, with your kaya toast alongside it.
The egg cup ships from Malaysia and is sold individually, so you get one cup. Its plain white finish gives you a simple piece of breakfast tableware to sit beside the more decorative green floral cup and saucer.

7. Killiney Kaya Coconut Jam Mini Jar 90g
This Killiney kaya coconut jam comes in a 90g mini jar from Killiney Mart. It gives you the familiar toast spread in a smaller jar than the 400g Glory kaya above, if you would prefer to start with less.
The mini jar ships from Singapore and is sold as a single jar. Spread the kaya onto your toast and pair it with butter for the breakfast combination. This one keeps the jar size small while still covering the kaya part of the meal.

8. Flannel Coffee Sock Strainer With Steel Handle
This reusable flannel cloth coffee strainer has a stainless steel handle. It is a kopi sock, the cloth bag used to strain coffee in a kopitiam. For a breakfast setup that includes brewing the coffee, this brings that familiar piece of equipment into your kitchen.
The strainer ships from Mainland China and pairs a cloth filtering bag with a steel handle. Other sizes are sold on the same page, so go for the “Filter -L” one. It covers the coffee-straining step before you serve your brew in the floral cup.
