Ah Seng (Hai Nam) Coffee

Reddy loves a good traditional breakfast. Especially those runny soft boiled eggs with drizzles of thick dark soya sauce and a dash of pepper... droooolz. And French Toast! Reddy seems to have it anywhere that serves it. Having read about Ah Seng Hai Nam Coffee in numerous online reviews, I paid them a visit on one hot and humid typical Singaporean morning, just before heading up to Where-I-Earn-A-Living.

What a typical local breakfast would look like - 2 soft boiled eggs with soya sauce and pepper, French Toast with Kaya and a piping hot cup of Ginger Tea with Milk (without the frothy "tarik" of a usual Teh Halia).

If you notice, on the top right corner of the signboard, there is a short description in Japanese. Could be one of those places frequently featured in Japanese guidebooks on must-eats-in-Singapore?

What is unique about this French Toast is that it is grilled over charcoal, not fried with butter in a pan and what you get is a non-greasy, "healthier" version of a French Toast. Unfortunately the very tasty Kaya on the side and in between the bread does not help with the healthy part.

Double dose of Kaya. One straight-up on the side and more hidden in between the slices of egg-dipped bread. The Kaya is not too sweet (very important) and is rich and thick. The distinct whiff of pandan lingers on the palate with every mouthful.

Reddy's score sheet :
