This time we decided to go back for some breakfast!
Omega Soft Boiled Eggs on Toast ($3.20) |
First thing I'm going to mention is the bread.
I'm not sure if it was intentional but the toast was a little too... toasted.
I'd even go as far as to say it was bordering on burnt. I'm someone who likes my toast with a little extra char and crisp but it's too much when you have that 'burnt' taste.
But the redeeming factor? The eggs!
These Omega eggs were of top-notch quality.
Big and solid and obviously of a very high-grade, these eggs made it worth the price of the dish.
A little bit of dark soy and pepper and you're all set!
A good question would be how are you gonna eat it?
Do you pick it up? Will the eggs run all over the place if you do? Believe it or not - I actually ate it with a fork and spoon! Cut off a piece and scoop it into the mouth. This way, you get bread and egg in one mouthful and no problems!
Old Town French Toast ($3.40) |
Wait... PEANUT BUTTER?!?!
The menu didn't say anything about peanut butter and it's definitely not a classic recipe to have it on french toast so it was actually a bit of a shock. Especially for my darling wife who doesn't really fancy peanuts...
Oh well, one simply cannot live on bread alone am I right?
Old Town Nasi Lemak with Sambal Sotong ($7.20) |
The rice itself was not too bad. Still can be considered quite tasty. I wasn't too impressed with the sambal though. I always prefer my sambal to have a bit more of a sweet taste and not just all chilli.
But I think the worst part was the Sambal Sotong. It is cooked with pretty much the same sambal that comes with your Nasi Lemak and has this really weird texture to it. I know people like their sotong to be soft but this was more like a jelly-like texture.
For the relatively high price of $7.20, I really expected more.
They also have a 'Special' version for an extra $0.40 which comes with Acar Timun (Cucumber Pickle).
Curry Potato Paratha ($3.80) |
The curry itself is surprising because it's got some taste despite being very very watery.
But sad news, it's not really a Potato Curry. It's more of a curry with potatoes.
Meaning, they have cooked the potatoes separately and then just added them to the curry probably just before they bring the serving out to you. In fact, you can see the potato at the bottom left of the bowl above still has a dry spot there...
Definitely not a dish worth the price tag.
Oh well, guess you can't win them all.
Old Town Teh Tarik ($2.20) |
And then after I received it, I immediately regretted it. The teh tarik was nothing impressive. Not really full-flavoured and really lacking any milk/sugar taste overall.
Maybe I really should stick to the coffee next time.
PS you can get the iced teh tarik for an extra $0.30.
Adam's Verdict:
Omega Soft Boiled Eggs on Toast 4/5 -- Old Town Nasi Lemak with Sambal Sotong 1.5/5
Old Town Teh Tarik 2/5
Maryah's Verdict:
Omega Soft Boiled Eggs on Toast 4/5 -- Old Town French Toast 2/5 -- Curry Potato Paratha 2.5/5
Well there are definitely some items worth having at OTWC.

Sgd7 for Nasi Lemak.. Overpriced! Haha thanks for the review.. :)
ReplyDeleteOverpriced and not really that nice in our humble opinion! :)
DeleteNowadays oldtown quality drop, the price is high but the taste is not good. Especially the white coffee, the taste totally out. I don't like oldtown white coffee now. The white coffee I love now is Bevanda White Coffee, their coffee is the best I tried. Maybe you can try it, I strongly recommend.
ReplyDeleteHi Aldo! Thanks for your comment!
DeleteThe funny thing is - we actually haven't tried the coffee there! :P
But thanks for the tip about Bevanda and we'll try it if we happen to come across it :)
Thanks again and keep reading the blog okay!
