The egg is a versatile ingredient and one that everybody loves. It can be cooked in so many different ways, be it scrambled, hard-boiled, poached, or even emulsified along with oil to form a sauce (hollandaise). There are so many different types of dishes to choose from and applications of which to use this wondrous ingredient, but today, we are going to cover the classic brunch dish—Eggs Benedict.

A classic Eggs Benedict consists of two halves of an English muffin, each topped with either ham or bacon, a poached egg and drizzled with hollandaise sauce. The recipe might seem easy to pull off, but only a fair few have managed to impress. Here is our list of 14 places in Singapore for eggs Benedict that are truly, egg-citing.

A new breakfast place is opening up at Plaza Singapura and it is featuring two signature items we cannot get enough of—eggs and pancakes! If you are a fan of pancakes, omelettes and crepes, you definitely have to keep a lookout for Eggs n’ Things, a popular eatery hailing all the way from Waikiki, Hawaii.

Founded in 1974, Eggs n’ Things’ outlets are currently found only in Hawaii and Japan but Singaporeans are in for a real treat when they open their doors to the public soon. Dedicated to serving quality food using only the freshest ingredients while keeping prices affordable, the eatery brings the ‘spirit of Aloha’ to Singapore shores.

Over here in Singapore, diners can expect Eggs n’ Things to feature popular items from their menu such the fluffy and light buttermilk pancakes which are often touted as one of the best in Hawaii! Try the pancakes that are topped with their iconic whipped cream made using a special recipe.

You will not be disappointed when it comes to their speciality omelettes too—every omelette dish comes with three fresh eggs and they are served with steamed rice, fried potatoes or three buttermilk pancakes. Just the thought of it is making us hungry!

Eggs n’ Things has yet to declare their official opening date so keep your eyes peeled for it!

The feeling of breaking open a semi-cooked egg yolk is almost unbeatable and is every foodie’s guilty pleasure. Admit it – most of us are big fans of eggs and even bigger fans of the versatility of this tiny, yet wonderful treasure chest.

An egg can add wonder to just about anything. An onsen egg on a warm bowl of ramen, poached eggs on toast or perfectly scrambled eggs that melt in your mouth; we love them all.

We have decided to put together this list of the best #EggPorn dishes that taste as good (or even better) than they look. Here is our pick of the 10 Most Photogenic Egg Dishes in Singapore.

#1 SCOTCH EGGS – BY THE FIRE

From the team behind Immanuel French Kitchen at trendy Salute Coffeeshop in Alexandra, comes their latest two-month old concept, By The Fire, located just opposite I12 Katong. Amidst the array of affordable Western fare such as a 200g Hangar Steak (S$19), we can’t help but fall in love with their perfectly cooked Scotch Eggs (S$6.90) with a mouth-watering runny centre. One is not enough.

Scoop a generous spoonful of their dried chilli on the side and break the yolk to mix in for the complete experience.

#6 CHICK N EGG – PADDY HILLS

Paddy Hills is an Instagrammer’s heaven – good food and a beautiful restaurant interior. From their dinner menu, the Chick N Egg (S$20) is an undisputed star. You might initially complain about the slightly hefty price tag, but once you sink your teeth into the ultimate combination of crisp chicken skin, garlic fried rice and runny egg yolk, you will be running back for more.

#8 THE BAD BOY BURGER – THE ROYALS STEAKHOUSE

As a specialised Muslim steakhouse near Arab Street, we were pleasantly surprised by The Royals Steakhouse’s range of delicious steaks and burgers on their menu. The Bad Boy Burger (S$22) is our top pick. Perfectly pink in the centre, the steak is topped with melted cheese, turkey and a beautiful and runny sunny side up egg. The burger buns were buttered then toasted to a nice crisp to hold the patty and topping together well.

#10 TUNISIAN – WILD HONEY

Wild Honey’s rendition of the classic Tunisian (S$20) dish of Shakshouka is possibly our favourite dish out of their entire all-day-breakfast menu. A tomato stew that’s peppered with spices, littered with chorizo slices and crowned with two eggs, is paired up with a simple tomato salsa and toasted bread. Break the yolk with the bread and dip deep into the stew for an outstanding burst of flavours.
