Toasted Bread Half Boiled Eggs @ Joo Leong Cafe
Along the road to the airport from Bayan Lepas, there’s a coffee shop which is always crowded in the mornings. People throng the place as early as 7am for Joo Leong Cafe’s toasted bread and half boiled eggs. The coffee shop is a bit hard to notice because there’s no signboard or any indications it is selling such breakfast. The many number of vehicles parked outside the coffee shop which stretch as far as 50 meter away show the popularity of this establishment.
A piece of toasted bread, two half boiled eggs served in a cup, and a cup of hot Milo are RM4.10. Frankly it is quite expensive for a simple breakfast like this.
The toasted breads are done in a very original and nostalgic way, with only a layer of butter spread on top. A bottle of castor sugar is provided to let you sprinkle all the sugar you like on the toasted pieces. So they are both salty and sweet.
The half boiled eggs are for you to dip the toasted pieces if it suits your taste. For me it was a new experience, and it was quite good actually.
Joo Leong Cafe operates from as early as 6.30am and it’s located directly opposite the post office along Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah. I am not sure what they sell in the afternoon but Ipoh Salted Chicken is sold here in the evenings. Try it if you are too lazy to prepare your own toasts and half boiled eggs lol.

This is 1 of my fav place. For those in FTZ area, roti bakar = this place.
At night, besides the salted chicken, this place also sells seafood noodles. My opinion of their seafood noodles = ok only.

I had tried this before. Actually the half boiled egg and the roti bakar is very nice. Infact the half boiled egg are so consistant that every time I go there they will make the same. They won’t over cooked the egg nor too rare. It’s just nice. Usually they are open until 11:30 only after that they will called for the day. I did blog about this too 2 years back.

Hmm when i was studyin in KDU pg, when they were still located in the old building, the “OLD” gurney drive there, there is a road stall selling eggs / toast bread from using charcoal.
Old couple selling it, not sure if they r still around though. Its freaking good…. really a classic, u want 3/4 boil, he can just deliver. he can just agak agak and it will still be perfect. Damn i miss the good old times.

Actually, I had my first bite in this shop is when I was back then in my Primary Standard 4. Have some break-in-service (eating) ^^ then recent 1 yr I am back to this lovely breakfast on the Sundays ! it is a 13-yr of history to me already in my memory – as far as I can remember…& the toast is getting better each day! I just love the toast!
I enjoy the combination of nasi lemak at times too ^^
It is a must-have to makan
