Hometown Kopitiam
We wanted to eat dim sum at Ying Ker Lou but they only opened at 10.30 am, one hour away so we went to the eatery next to it, to have a typical breakfast. As it was a public holiday, there were no breakfast set meals available so we had to pay the normal price which was a bit more expensive.
2 Omega half boiled eggs - MYR2.80 - good that they gave us two bowls without us having to ask. Some places give only one bowl with the eggs in it and expect us to crack both eggs at the same time into the same bowl that held them.
Hot Cham (coffee mixed with tea) - MYR3.50 - Don't be misled by the light colour of this coffee. It is very bitter. Both of us share all the food and with 5% service charge, the total bill came up to MYR9.55 which is a bit on the high side.

Oooo...love those eggs. Same concept as Old Town...or the one we have here, Ipoh Town Kopitiam.
ReplyDeleteYes new style kopitiam mostly are all like this. :)
DeleteAhh the typical breakfast - half boiled eggs, toast... But where's the nasi lemak and mee siam? Hehe.. Wah means you just go there to alas perut first then after 1 hour you go YKL again? Geng! Guess the next post is about YKL?
ReplyDeleteHehehehe, no lah. In the end we did not go eat dim sum at YKL. Just ate lunch at noon at another restaurant.
DeleteZzzz why lah I come here to see when I am having my breakfast of celery juice and oats >.<
ReplyDeleteWah you are really eating very healthy food. Even I don't drink celery juice but will just eat celery sticks. Next we will be reading your post about you hitting the gym for body building. :)
DeletePrepared by mom, not something that I will prepare by myself >.<
DeleteHehehe. Your mom really wants you to live a healthy lifestyle. :)
DeleteAbsolutely love perfectly cooked Omega soft-boiled eggs...but would love it even more if they were "kampong" eggs!
ReplyDeleteOh, I didn't know that eggs from kampong chicken taste nicer. Don't think can buy them from supermarkets.
DeleteYes, kampong eggs do taste better coz they come from 'happy' chickens (and because of the yolks, of course)! They're healthier too (less cholesterol, less saturated fat, more vitamins and higher in Omega-3). Very easy to distinguish them...almost white shells (as opposed to brown) and bright orange yolks (as opposed to pale yellow). Many kopitiams (ex. Yut Kee) serve free-range eggs but they're more expensive-lah! You can easily get them from (some) wet markets and 'pasar malam'.
DeleteThank you for the details!
Deletehmm, is it me or what?? it's like many times when Mun wanted to eat something, she went there all the way only to find it not opening or too early before it opens.. so gotta resort with something else next door.. haha!! the early bird didn't catch the worm!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, trust you SK to spot this trend. :)
Deleteah, hainanese breakfast, surely something totally different from the dimsum you were planning to have.. but the coffee and toasts looked good also.. I didn't mention the eggs because I don't fancy half boiled eggs as its too slimy for me, haha!! afterall just get your stomach filled up and just "eat to live" for that morning instead~~ :)
ReplyDeleteThis type of breakfast is hainanese breakfast ah? I didn't know that. Bingo, you grasp the gist of this blog - sometimes we live just to eat but most of the time no choice we eat to live.
DeleteThe breakfast that we can have in Kaya & Toast. I usually go for the set plus tea or coffee.
ReplyDeleteSet here is not available during weekends or public holidays else we will order set too. :)
DeleteKaya toast and half boiled eggs would be my choice for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteYour favourite breakfast too!
