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.

When we think about Eggs Benedict, our minds would subconsciously drift to the image of two perfectly-executed poached eggs with runny yolks atop toasted muffins, and drenched with tangy hollandaise sauce.

However, many cafes and restaurants have since taken this dish up a level and interpreted with their own renditions to further enchant the crowd.

We have been on the hunt for some of the most interesting Eggs Ben creations around – think components such as crackling pork, juicy beef steaks and even the widely loved Mentaiko.

These unique pairings are bound to pique your interests, and here are 8 Unconventional Eggs Benedicts in Singapore To Try!

#1 DUCK RILLETTE EGGS BENEDICT 

The Missing Pan regularly switches up their menu, but their most recent change saw an addition of the Quack Quack Eggs Benedict (S$19). The duck rillette is wonderfully tasty and the dish also comes with a side of refreshing salad and asparagus.

#2 EGGS BENEDICT ON JUICY BEEF STEAKS

Everyone loves a good steak, but how about the addition of two well-executed eggs, muffins and sauteed potatoes tossed with sundried tomatoes? Sounds too good to be true? Well, at Forty Hands, you can get this affordably priced at S$16.

Their steak was done medium well, which served as a good accompaniment when paired with the runny yolks, adding a slightly chewy texture to the whole experience which was addictive.

#3 FOIE GRAS BENEDICT

Foie Gras Benedict (S$21.90) might seem like an overkill to many as the richness of both the runny yolk and foie gras might be too much of a clash. But we found the idea of it rather charming. Well, we might just be a little biased towards pan-fried foie gras too. But Foie Gras Benedict? It is a yes for us.

#4 IKURA EGGS BENEDICT

This Melbourne-styled cafe has notably become a haven for coffee lovers to conjugate and is also home to countless of fusion dishes. Fans of Japanese food would be thrilled to know their Ikura Eggs Benedict (S$18) definitely makes the cut, jolting our taste buds with its perfect pairing of ingredients.

Sitting on a bed of multi-grain toast, fresh smoked salmon, hollandaise sauce and a slice of lemon to provide a zesty finish, this was definitely a creative rendition of the well-loved Eggs Benedict. When sliced into, the eggs revealed a rich runny yolk which was a match made from heaven with the savoury smoked salmon and bursts of salmon roe.

#5 MENTAIKO EGGS BENEDICT

Mentaiko has become a favourite ingredient in the recent years. You can see the use of the ingredients in various ways, but how about having it on poached eggs?

At The Betterfield, their Mentaiko Eggs Benedict (S$16) features a Mentaiko based hollandaise sauce, smoked salmon and charcoal grilled buns. That’s not all. All of their dishes are priced without any GST or service charge. We only wished there were more dollops of the Mentaiko sauce because it was just too good.

Also known as their Cheeky Eggs (S$16.90), their poached eggs are served on muffins with juicy strips of braised pork cheeks and topped off with hearty creamy hollandaise sauce – a wonderful medley of flavours and textures that you have got to try.

#7 ROAST WAGYU RUMP EGGS BENEDICT

Their eggs bennys come in two variations. One being the Poached Chicken Eggs Benedict (S$24); and the other, Roast Wagyu Rump Eggs Benedict (S$30). Of course, we were naturally drawn to the latter. We can never say no to well-cooked wagyu beef, especially with a pair of perfectly poached eggs.

#8 EGGS BENEDICT WITH SALTED EGG YOLK SAUCE

Eggs Benedict is mainstream no more because the people at Drury Lane have got some tricks up their sleeves. Why, of course! Do a salted egg yolk sauce instead of the ubiquitous Hollandaise! And instead of the usual ham, you get fried bacon! We suggest you hide your weighing scale before you head down to Drury Lane.

Note: Parco Caffe is no longer in operation.

Located within the tranquil Raeburn Park, Parco Caffe – by the folks behind Spruce and Alkaff Mansion Ristorante – is where you would find solace from the hustle and bustle of city life. What is compromised for accessibility is more than made up for ambience. It was apparent that much of Parco’s emphasis is on atmosphere; from the creeping vines along its granite walls and lush carpet grass, to the floor-to-ceiling windows that bathed the café in natural sunshine, this place is stunning in every sense of the word.

Parco Caffe has a separate menu for lunch and dinner. Brunch on weekends starts at 9am, which is when the café dishes up egg-centered offerings in addition to their dinner menu.

We were disappointed to be told that the eggs roulade and risotto we had our eyes set on were no available, but went ahead with our orders for two other dishes from their brunch menu.

We picked the Tartufo Nero Scrambled Eggs ($29), a chef’s recommendation described as scrambled eggs in a Parmesan basket with shaved black truffle, sautéed porcini mushrooms, bacon, cherry tomatoes and toast. On hindsight we did get what was stated (though curiously missing the cherry tomatoes), but for the price, were sorely disappointed to be offered a miniscule portion which was unfortunately, not redeemed by the taste. The eggs were overly curdled, and the parmesan basket soaked through and soggy. The porcini mushrooms and bacon seemed to be an afterthought, and did nothing to salvage the dish.

The Portobello ($23) fared better; 2 eggs on grilled Portobello mushroom, smoked salmon, poached asparagus, baked sweet potato with crème fraiche, cherry tomato bruschetta and toasted black olive bread was literally quite a mouthful. We enjoyed ploughing through the variety, but none of it was exceedingly spectacular.

We shared a serving of the Lemon Honey Kurobuta Ribs ($28) from the dinner menu, which turned out to be the best dish of the day. We loved how the tender meat gave way under the slightest nudge of our forks. The sweet, sticky glaze made for a decadent candied pork dish that left us with a lasting impression.

With so many other places offering better brunches at more reasonable prices, we’d be hard pressed to find a reason to return. That said, Parco Caffe is definitely still a destination for those looking for an ambience like no other.

Eggs Benedict is one of my favourite breakfast food. When I go for brunch, I will definitely order Eggs Benedict, or convince my friend to get it so that I can try. I don’t know about you, but brunch will never be the same without it.

Eggs Benedict is a dish that has a beautifully poached egg and tender ham, sitting on top of an English muffin, drizzled with a magical hollandaise sauce. There are different popular variations like Eggs Royale, which substitutes salmon for the ham; Eggs Florentine; which has spinach instead of ham; and Eggs Blackstone, which comes with streaky bacon for the ham.

It took me a long time to do this post as I’ve been trying out different brunch places, and I am happy to share with you my list of the best Eggs Benedict in Singapore.

Skyve Elementary Bistro and Bar

Started by the same team from Table 66 restaurant, Skyve Bistro is a classy bistro which is located in an old school building at Winstedt Road (formerly District 10 Bistro). It uses the Sous-Vide technique to prepare the perfect poached eggs. Trust me on this, go to Skyve Elementary Bistro & Bar for their Sous Vide Eggs Benedict ($12).

Barracks Cafe

One of my favourite spots for brunch, Barracks Cafe at Dempsey Hill serves simple and reasonably-priced food in a cosy space.

Besides the legendary truffle fries and 7 layer pancakes, the classic Eggs Benedict ($18) – poached eggs on toasted English muffins, drizzled with hollandaise sauce – at Barracks cafe is also a must-order when you are having breakfast there.

Canopy Garden Dining & Bar

Canopy’s Eggs Royale far surpassed our expectations with its quality for $13. It was generously covered with hollandaise sauce. This is one vital factor that attributes to the totality of a good Eggs Royale (or Eggs Benedict) – no stinginess when it comes to hollandaise sauce

Eggs Benedict is a dish that consists of two halves of an English muffin, topped with ham or bacon, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce.

Choupinette

Tucked in a corner along Bukit Timah road near Coronation Plaza, Choupinette is a charming little place that serves homely comfort food, and one of the best eggs Benedict in Singapore.

Five and Dime

Easily one of the prettiest new restaurants in town, Five and Dime is located at 297 River Valley Road. It is one of my favourite new restaurants in Singapore, and I’d highly recommend you to go there for brunch. Five and Dime’s Eggs Benny ($16) is slightly different; the beautifully poached eggs come with seared beef, and a healthy serving of fresh greens.

Group Therapy Cafe

One of the latest cafes to open in the trendy Duxton Hill area, Group Therapy Cafe is a space tucked away on the 2nd storey of a reconstructed shophouse.

They serve a slightly different variation of Eggs Benedict. Instead of English muffin, the poached eggs with salmon are stacked on top of a thick toast. Together with a generous helping of the hollandaise sauce, there’s no way you can resist it.

Marmalade Pantry at the Stables

Marmalade Pantry at the Stables is a great place for a good meal if you wish to escape the city for a relaxing brunch.

So here’s a heads up if you are planning to go there this weekend. They have interesting choices like Steak and Eggs ($38), Chorizo Frittata ($18), but both of us know that brunch is all about Eggs Benedict ($19). Have fun!

PS Cafe

There are many people who argue that PS Cafe is overrated, serving mediocre food at exorbitant prices, but there is no denying that PS Cafe is one of the most beautiful restaurants in Singapore.

When you are paying $26 for two simple poached eggs on English muffin, it is no longer just about the food; it is about the whole dining experience. Where else better than PS Cafe, one of the most popular see and be seen places in Singapore?

On a lazy Sunday morning, all you need is Eggs Benny.

Riders Cafe

One of the most popular brunch places in Singapore, Riders Cafe also has one of the best locations. Hidden within Fairways Drive, this countryside cafe is the place to go if you want to escape from the hustle of city.

It serves a Blackstone Benedict, which substitutes streaky bacon for the ham and adds a tomato slice to the poached eggs & hollandaise on rustic sourdough.

Wild Honey

The popular all day breakfast restaurant has recently opened a new outlet at Scotts Square, so you guys now have one more option to choose from when you are meeting your friends in Orchard Road.

Let’s go straight to the eggs benedict. Unlike the typical ones, Wild Honey’s rendition ($18) comes with sauteed mushroom and prosciutto on toasted brioche.

Sundays are so very nice. I get to sleep in late and nobody can point a finger at me. Oh what the heck, I can even have a burger for breakfast and you will not judge me for this.

How many times have I blog about the breakfast at Epicurious Cafe? How many different types of eggs have I ordered, and how often can I revisit Epicurious Cafe without seeming crazy? If it’s up to me (without consulting my wallet), I’d definitely come here for breakfast every weekend since Railmall is just five minutes away.

Contrary to what most people, it is OKAY to have burgers for breakfast. Why not? Since I had burgers at midnight before, I don’t see why I can’t have them for breakfast.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Epicurious burger ($18) serves one if your name is Brad, or two if you don’t have a big appetite. Add cheese, bacon and egg ($2 each, or $4 for all 3 toppings) for the “full epicurious burger experience”. This baby is humongous!

I started breakfast with Pancakes ($7 for 3) of course. A lot of syrup was consumed and I ate the three pancakes on my own. What an achievement! It may not seems like a lot to you, but pancakes mean the world to me. I’d marry any one who makes me pancakes for breakfast.

One of my favorite breakfast items on the Epicurious Cafe’s menu is the Baked Eggs with toast soldiers ($6.50 for 1). We ordered two portions and the first one that arrived was splendid. There’s something special about the combination of eggs and bacon in semi-molten form. Unfortunately, the second serving was rushed out of the oven way too early, and the baked eggs was too watery.

The Cafe offered to replace the Baked eggs with the Choco-nana sandwich ($6). Now, nutella is surely one of the best creations on earth. Spreading a thick layer of the wholesome nutella on white bread is the most sensible thing a person can do.

My middle name is nutella.

Look, I’m not saying Epicurious Cafe has the best brunch in Singapore. But for the kind of price and the comfort food they serve, Epicurious cafe is definitely still one of my favorite breakfast places in Singapore. I’m probably not going to blog about their breakfast again. So if you know what’s good for you, go to Epicurious cafe (or any brunch places) today for a good Sunday brunch.

// Update: Mykii Brasserie Cafe is now closed

Many food lovers always like to go Holland Village as it has always been one of the popular dining spots in Singapore that has so many different restaurants. I recently came to know that Mykii restaurant actually serves brunch on weekends. It wasn’t  even on my list of Brunch Places in Singapore when I had compiled it back then.

Breakfast at Mykii Brasserie Cafe is available on weekends from 11.30am – 4pm, and there are three brunch menus to choose from: Hearty Deluxe ($38), Gourmet Chic ($28) and Classique ($28). We had a Hearty Deluxe brunch set which came with a starter of homemade bread & muffin/scone/cupcake, Mykii Brunch platter, a choice of main course, dessert, coffee/tea and fruit juice. I know, that’s quite an handful isn’t it? In addition to that, we shared another Gourmet Chic brunch set which was essentially about the same as the Hearty Deluxe brunch set – less the main course.

Most of the time, I prefer to order from the ala carte menu, rather than having a brunch buffet. There’s no need for so much variety for breakfast, I’m a cereal-eggs-pancakes-desserts kind of guy. I like to keep brunch simple – nothing too heavy.

The scones are sturdy, yet crumby, hard on the outside yet so moist inside, it’s the type that I will love to have every morning. On the other hand, the Oreo cupcake was just okay, very sweet and a little too dry. The homemade bread, however was excellent. While waiting for the food to come, we couldn’t help but spread the room-temperature butter onto the bread and wolfed down two slices each.

The Eggs Benedict was more than just a pretty face. The magical combination of eggs and bacon always works. While the holladaise sauce wasn’t as buttery as I would like it to be, it’s just assuring to have Eggs Benedict for breakfast.

Mykii’s Brunch platter consisted of French chipolata sausage, grilled fresh tomatoes, streaky bacon with farmhouse eggs. For the eggs, we chose to have the ocean’s catch omelette with squids and prawn with a tangy thai-sweet chili mayonnaise. Hearty and satisfying, this is my classic interpretation of a big breakfast.

By the time the Iceland Smoked Salmon Sandwich arrived on our table, our stomach was already almost filled to the brim. I had no idea why it was named the Iceland smoked salmon sandwich, but I do know for a fact that the fries that accompanied the sandwich were delicious. It was nicely cut, and had a great potato taste. They were also light and not too salty; we finished every fry without feeling guilty.

If you have been around for some time, you will know that I have always been against the marriage of chocolate and banana. There are plenty of different options like orange chocolate and chocolate mint, but yes, I do not like chocolate banana.

The Chocolate Banana cake here did not change my opinion of the popular dessert, but at least it wasn’t that bad. For one, the bulk of the cake was chocolate ganache and only a thin layer was the banana component. I have nothing against banana, but chocolate banana doesn’t work for me.

I was elated when the dessert menu had a choice of Sweet Morning Platter, which was petite old English pancakes with pear compote, smoothie shooter, and vanilla bean gelato. When the dessert came, the size of the pancakes caught us by surprise. Again, I blamed myself for not reading the menu carefully, petite old English pancakes.. Yes it’s petite, small, tiny or whatever vocabularies you can think of.

Well, it wasn’t too bad. It’s pancakes, you know – pancakes always taste good. The slightly sourish smoothie shooter provided a good counterbalance to the sweet duo of pear compote and ice cream. Ooh, there’s vanilla beans! Perfect. Just the way I wanted to end a good and hearty brunch.

Compared with the other brunch places in Singapore, Mykii probably won’t be among my favorites, but that’s not because it’s not good. The food was pretty decent, not top-notch, but good enough. Their brunch menu really spoils me with so much food, and I’m very sure that my stomach will hold a protest very soon if this goes on.

Actually come to think of it, the beautiful part about breakfast food is the simplicity of it. Having a cup of coffee while reading Sunday Times, beginning breakfast with starter-eggs-mains-desserts, and most importantly, having it with your favorite person – what more can you ask for?

Go and have a good breakfast today! Sundays are meant for brunch.
