Egg Stop Review: Korean Street Toast Shop With Scrambled Eggs In Singapore

Threw open its doors by the same owners of Le Castella, the catalyst of the castella cake frenzy last year, Egg Stop came about after five months of intensive work. Inspired by Korean toast chains such as Isaac toast and Egg Drop , they decided to bring Korean gilgeori toast to Singaporeans, but with comforting local flavours.

Gilgeori toast ( 길거리토스트), or Korean street toast, is a popular street food in Korea. A Korean style of grab-and-go breakfast, street food vendors are commonly found next to bus stops and train stations early in the morning.

Korean street toast from Egg Stop Food at Egg Stop Compared to Isaac Toast ’s extensive menu, Egg Stop’s comes with just six flavours. First on our list is the Beef Teriyaki ($7.40) , which consists of marinated beef stir-fried in teriyaki sauce. It’s then topped off with caramelised onions and a raw egg yolk that is just begging to be popped.

I found all the flavours nicely balanced, with the rich and creamy yolk going well with the crusty bread. The beef in addition comes with a decent amount of fats, giving it plenty of taste alongside the caramelised onions. The Chicken Ham & Cheese ($4.90) as well impressed with its simple yet elegant flavours.

Sweet chicken ham is combined with generous portions of scrambled eggs then topped off with Egg Stop’s signature sauce to give flavour in every bite. The creamy scrambled eggs, rich sauce and savoury sliced cheese blended well with the light and fluffy bread.

Those looking for a little more protein in their diet will be drawn to the Smoked Chicken ($5.90) . Consisting of the usual mix of sliced cheese and scrambled eggs, shredded smoked chicken and Sriracha mayonnaise are added to give an extra kick of spiciness. While the velvety scrambled eggs went well with the juicy texture of the shredded chicken, I was a little disappointed by how smokiness of the chicken was nowhere to be found.

The rest of the toasts on their menu are Avocado & Egg ($7.90) , Turkey Bacon & Cheese ($5.50) and Egg Stop Signature ($4.60) . The latter comes with creamy scrambled eggs, caramelised onions, fresh cream and their signature sauce.

The verdict Having tried Isaac Toast, Egg Stop emerges as the clear winner between the battle of Korean street toasts. While the quotations tend to be on the high side, munching on just one is more than enough to keep my tummy full for the morning.

For those living in the West, fret not, Egg Stop will be opening at Clementi in September, and another in November at Jurong Point.
