Half boiled egg & toasted bread

According to myth, eating half boiled egg is good for male to recover their sexual energy after a good night laid. The reason because egg are good source of proteins and half boiled egg resemble the men sperms? Or probably because of liquid type, it makes easy absorb by human body?

Some people just like the taste of the half cook egg, especially when toasted bread are dip into it. Yum yum. There are many types of toasted bread or we call "roti bakar". Some seller toast the bread and apply butter or kaya. Most popular is "roti kahwin" or married bread. 1 side with butter and another with kaya.

The Joo Leong Cafe selling the toasted bread with butter and condense milk. This kind of bread also quite popular in a lot of places in Penang. You can check the cafe details at this site. http://www.penangnet.com/jooleong/. Joo Leong cafe are one the famous cafe selling half boiled egg & toasted bread. I park my car next to the shop.

On the way to Penang International Airport from Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, the shop located on the left. If you on your way to airport in the morning, you might want to drop by for breakfast. It is very close to the Snake Temple. After pass by Snake Temple on your right, the cafe are not further distance on your left. This is how the shop inside looks like.

I usually order "bread & egg 1 set" which include of 2 pieces of toasted bread and 2 half boiled egg. There are also others prepack food such as fried bihun and nasi lemak. The nasi lemak taste quite good but the fried bihun not that delicious.

The price for the set is pretty expensive or just at reasonable price. 2 pieces of toasted bread cost RM2.00 and 2 half boiled egg cost RM1.80. Total of RM3.80 per set. With some drinks like coffee or tea, I easily hit RM5 per meal and not really full my stomach. With this cost, I can prepare the same meal at home for 3 persons (using omega egg). It is not hard to prepare if comparing cooking a decent meal. Of course if eating outside, we have to consider the labour charges and their profit. The food arrive quite quick and I finish it quick too.

Overall the taste is quite normal as anywhere else. Nothing really special about it but the environment is nice. I prefer the nasi lemak more than the breakfast set.
