Saturday morning instead of going to Halla Holla, I decided to drop by Yitcha Kaw Kaw Kopitiam instead.
There was a time when it was not possible to go there for breakfast on weekend mornings because they would be jam packed with customers.
But don't get me wrong. They are still very popular.
It's just that the initial novelty has worn off and people no longer come in droves.
But they still command a good patronage daily.
The physical menu has seen better days.
They have migrated to a QR ordering system as most eateries have done.
My favorite drink Kopi C with no sugar. For the uninitiated, Kopi C is local black coffee with evaporated milk. The "C" stands for "Carnation", a brand of evaporated milk. And yes, Carnation is a very pretty flower.
And then.
Three orders of soft boiled eggs.
One bowl can hold four eggs. The server who brought the light soy sauce and pepper did a double take when she saw my order.
Ahhhh ...... I love soft boiled eggs! I did not add anything to my eggs.
My last two eggs. That was a very good breakfast.
All that for RM18.10. Sure, it is cheaper for me to make my own eggs. But I fail at making soft boiled eggs. They always end up almost cooked. And if I had to make these at home, I'd have to eat very early in the morning. Can't do that.
After my hearty brekkie, I went to get lunch for mum and walked to Damansara Jaya. I had a nice chit chat with her. It was a good Saturday and I looked forward to chilling out on Sunday.
Hi dear friend, I love how you put the cat head on the face of someone who doesn't wish to be photographed! Brilliant and cute, I love it! :) Amen to the quote at the end of your post!
ReplyDeleteI love eggs! And I do like them soft boiled, your eggs look scrumptious! I always enjoy your posts, and your photos are great! Thank you so much for sharing, and I hope you have a fantastic week ahead!
Good morning! That young man refused to move, so I had to paste the cat head to protect his privacy LOL! Thank you so much for your very kind compliments! Do have yourself a fantastic week ahead too!
DeleteGood morning! It rained heavily this morning at 8am until it lightened to a drizzle now. I welcome the ☔🌧️ rain. Singapore is built in a way where most places are covered with shelters just that at times you need to take the long cut. But still I will bring an umbrella just in case.
ReplyDeleteGood morning! How nice that it rained and I love how Singapore is so considerate towards pedestrians. I wished that we have such facilities over here. There is but very limited to certain areas only.
DeleteAhhh, I love how you spent your this Saturday, time for yourself and time for your family, good job PH! I prefer the stall holder or boss to break the eggs and put them into plate/bowl for us first before serving so that it will not get messy and dirty. Have a good week ahead dear. Your future has arrived, today is your tomorrow so let's us make it a good and awesome one. Enjoy, God bless and count your blessings!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind breaking the eggs myself because I am not sure how the hygiene standards are like of the person who breaks my eggs. LOL! Thank you for your inspiring words!
DeleteSame here, I am ok with making hard boiled eggs and scrambled eggs but not good at making runny fried eggs and soft boiled eggs, the soft boiled eggs usually ended up too raw/watery or almost cooked. I love your hearty breakkie and they looked delicious. It's ok not to add any soy sauce or pepper, still they tasted yummy and tasted more original and authentic.
ReplyDeleteSame same. Nowadays I prefer original taste.
DeleteOut of curiosity, I googled Malaysia population year 2025, it is 35 million as compared to SG's 6 million, looking at the physical geographical size of Malaysia, no wonder your country is not as over crowded.
ReplyDeleteWell, it depends on which area of Malaysia you visit.
DeleteTrue, I googled, KL is the most populated city and there is a "ghost" town in JB? And people love the ghost time for it's peace and tranquility.
DeleteI find getting soft-boiled eggs done correctly is easier than making a fried egg with oozy yolk (that's bcos sometimes the yolk breaks when you crack the egg)! >.< The key to getting it right is trial runs for the magic no. (and then use that timing all the time). I use a small pot, submerge one egg in to make sure the water covers up to the egg (that's used as a marker to ensure I use the same amount of water every time). Bring it to a boil and switch off. Submerge 2 eggs in and cover the pot. Then set your timing...after a few runs, you'll be able to find your magic no. (with the same size/brand of eggs you always buy + the same amount of water). That's how I do it....hope it's of some help! ^_~
ReplyDeleteOh really? I am the opposite. Getting that magic number is like a science experiment and I shall give it a go and report back hee..hee..
DeleteWow! Three orders of soft boiled eggs, wow! I need to show my spouse. U r keng 💪😄
ReplyDeletehah..hah...hah... I can eat many eggs!
Deletewahhh so cheap
ReplyDeleteKan? heh...heh...
Delete6 biji eggs at one go? i need some roti to dip to get myself full....hahaha! I miss my previous office where the office admin will buy us eggs (a few huge trays) occasionally....and i ended up eating 4-5 soft boiled eggs....and even play masak masak microwave egg custard in the pantry.
ReplyDeleteYes, 6 in one go LOL! Ya, it is nice to have roti/toast to dip in the eggs. So nice that your previous company even supply eggs in the pantry!
DeleteDid the staff come to confirm your order of 3 sets of soft boiled egg? LOL
ReplyDeleteNo hah! hah!
