Despite Singapore and Malaysia sharing quite a number of similarities in our dining cultures especially where Hainanese-style breakfast is of concern, one thing that is rather difficult to find in Singapore would be that of the type where soft-boiled eggs are served atop on toast — something that we had managed to have come across during our trip to Penang some months ago where we chanced upon Yit Hooi Kopitiam. Turns out, there is a small number of establishments in Singapore that do serve Eggs on Toast in the same manner — one such establishment being GC Cafe 即时咖啡铺. They do operate at two (2) locations; one being at the open air hawker centre at the top of Beauty World Plaza, whilst the newer location would be the one at Bukit Timah Interim Market @ Food Centre that is located at Jalan Seh Chuan. These folks are located in the block away from the main food centre itself; this part of the food centre houses tenants such as that of thatsmypizza.sg, the outlet of MS Inasal BBQ, and Durian Soh amongst others. Primarily a stall that serves up Nanyang-style beverages such as local Kopi & Teh, the outlet of GC Cafe at Bukit Timah Interim Market & Food Centre also serves breakfast sets such as the typical Kaya Butter Toast, Peanut Butter Toast and a Ham & Cheese Muffin — just to mention a few.

The Eggs on Toast at GC Cafe came pretty much as how we expected things to be; as the toast offerings here are only prepared order-by-order, there would be some waiting time involved if they do have more than one toast order in the queue to prepare. Spread with margarine, the white bread is toasted to a crisp on the side where the soft-boiled eggs are topped above; this gives it a beautifully browned hue whilst also giving it a savoury note. The soft-boiled eggs are done in a manner where the egg yolk is done a little more cooked without being totally runny, though the whites are still effectively runny — perhaps done intentionally to avoid the egg yolk from totally slipping off the toast; quite close to whatever that we had experienced in Penang. The Iced Kopi here is also prepared in the same manner as what one would usually see at Malaysian establishments as well; the Kopi goes through a manual whisk for that bubbled-up aesthetic that usually comes with Malaysian-style Iced Kopi. The Kopi here is also pretty thick and rich — sufficiently sweet yet providing a good caffeinated kick as well. Though not a spot that we would make an out-of-the-way visit for, GC Cafe does still deliver that Hainanese-style breakfast with a Malaysian touch that is worth checking out if one is to be in the area.
