Roti Bakar and Nasi Dalca off Jalan Hutton

There’s something about rustic places like this that we like. Although just a makeshift stall along a narrow alley, it is considerably clean. The people manning the store, presumably the owners all from the same family, are friendly and chatty. The entire setting is just... relaxing.

On to what we came here for: the food. The half-boiled eggs are perfectly done the way we like it - with the yolks almost cooked but still very soft, not runny. The eggs are casually placed on top of two slices of traditional homely white bread lightly toasted on charcoal fire. Our mate pointed out that the eggs are cooked through with no transparent bits but remained half-boiled. Good point! The ‘owners’ very generously shared how it was done - just cover the eggs in very hot boiling water for a few minutes. Hmm.... Notice the exact amount of minutes is not revealed? Anyway, you can also request for some curry to complement the eggs on toasts.

There were signs for something called the Nasi Dalca around the stall. Since we had not had Nasi Dalca before, were curious to know how it tastes like. I am not sure what is is made of but it is some slightly sweet, light meat curry on spiced rice. The combination is light enough to have for breakfast.

Not sure how adventurous you are but there is room for a stroller here despite the humble setting in this little nook but don’t expect the availability of high chairs for really little ones. It is also probably easier to park in the multi-storey car park located just next to this little lane.
