But there are better menu options, so live a little and try them instead. Still, it’s not bad when eaten together with the cheddar and scrambled eggs.Ĭan’t live without a ham-and-cheese? Well, the deep scarlet slice of chicken ham with cheddar cheese and scrambled eggs in this sarnie are passable. The only giveaway this ain’t the real thing? The too-neat stripes of red and beige processed meat put together to look like bacon. You also get a similar hit of salt and fat as you would the original. It’s not pork, but there’s the crunchy textural snap you’d expect from regular bacon slices. It’s also under-seasoned and does nothing to offset the egg and lashing of mayo on top. The avocados are smashed rather than sliced and heaped over squishy scrambled eggs. The beef slices getting flame-torched for a smoky hint.Įven the brioche and mildly spicy signature sauce (its recipe is a secret) can't do much to rescue the mushy texture of this sandwich. To counter the luscious mouthfuls of egg and seasoned beef underneath are tangles of sweet caramelised onions and fluffy in the middle, crisp-edged bread. That toothpick is there for you to break the raw (don't worry, it’s pasteurised), egg yolk for the food porn-esque trickle over the tender and very lightly smoky, torched teriyaki beef. The most picture-worthy of the six sandwiches here is also its star. ![]() Have your Instagram Stories cam on standby for when they fire up the Behind the windows, the team of cooks grill bread over one griddle, warms up bacon and ham in the next, and cooks beef teriyaki in another. While halal certification is still pending, all the ingredients used here are Muslim-friendly.Order at the sun-lit counter, where Egg Stop is located on the first level of the surprisingly buzzy Paya Lebar Square. But when we gave them our sandwiches to taste and didn't say we used turkey bacon - they couldn't tell the difference and said, ‘See! In the end, you had to use pork right?'” My bacon-loving friends told me, 'There's no way you'll find turkey bacon to match lah!' shared Adam. With the brand gunning for halal certification, the owners worked hard to find a decent turkey bacon substitute in its bid to appeal to a wider audience. ![]() The scrambled eggs are mussed to fluffiness in a frying pan upon order, and the busy cooks seem to nail their lush texture and canary yellow complexions even with the five-to-10 minute time pressure placed on them to assemble the orders here. The six sarnie options here are built between fluffy brioche slices, made just for Egg Stop fresh daily by their suppliers, and grilled with plenty of butter on a griddle. We've not had the original Korean stacks, but tasting the versions made by the Singaporean homage, we don't quite feel like we've missed out, with most of the sandwiches hitting their marks in flavour and execution. ![]() From its clean, diner-style monochromatic signboard at its Paya Lebar stand, down to the sandwich stuffed in white, boxy holders, the two seem more like fraternal twins than unrelated doppelgangers whose mutual friends realised that omg, they look so alike they should meet each other one day. Indeed, Egg Stop looks like a dead ringer for Seoul’s Egg Drop.
