Very importantly, they do not charge for takeaway containers. If these are not enough, the auntie taking order is always very polite.​

They have other $2 soups, like chicken and seafood soup. $2 porridges are available too.

Nested in a quiet corner among landed houses lies a hidden food gem. EK Gourmet serves quality brunch at very affordable prices.

Even the lowest priced set, grilled ham & cheese sandwich with salad, is made with love. The sandwich is well grilled and the cheese comes melted. The salad comes with grilled sweet potato and definitely not just there to fill the plate. The set is only $5.50.

The egg set with bacons showcases the chef’s culinary skills with simple ingredients. The runny eggs remain runny. That is very important, ok?
The scrambled eggs are creamy and fluffy. The bacon is not oily and goes well with the well toasted bread.

I have never seen kurubuta (kurobuta) pork sausage sets for less than $10. Kurobuta pigs are also known as ‘black pigs’. I have not eaten much of them but one bite of the sausage reveals the difference. The meat is juicier and the texture is different from normal pork sausages.

The one item that caught my attention was the Wagyu beef sausage set. Of course, this cannot be the top grade Japanese wagyu. This Australian wagyu beef sausage tastes creamier than normal pork sausages and for only $8, I feel atas having this already.

For me, I took public transport there by alighting at Beauty World MRT station and got out from Exit C. Taking a very short walk to the bus stop, take either bus 43 and 173 and alight at the same bus stop. Walk along Toh Tuck Terrace and turn right to Toh Tuck Terrace. Walk straight and you can see it shortly.
