Many Singaporeans love a good soft-boiled egg (or two) for breakfast, together with crunchy kaya toast and a piping hot cup of kopi.
But we often forget that in other countries, eating runny eggs isn’t the norm.
Some netizens were horrified after a US vlogger uploaded a video of himself trying soft-boiled eggs in Singapore for the first time.
In a video uploaded to YouTube channel, United Cuisines, on Nov 27 last year, the man was seen ordering a classic local breakfast from Toast Box.
The same clip appeared on his TikTok page on Dec 12.
“When ordering boiled eggs in Singapore, you might be in for a surprise, just like I was a while back when attempting to peel them for the very first time,” the vlogger said.
He shared that the eggs usually come with kaya toast and a cup of kopi.
“Instead of thoroughly boiling the eggs, they pour hot water over them, take the pot off the stove and let the eggs cook for 10 minutes,” he explained.
“Since the water temperature drops, the eggs don’t harden as much as we’re used to, yielding a rather soupy consistency.”
