Best Poached Eggs in Johor Bahru (JB)

Previously known as Just Want Coffee and aptly the name has been changed as you just want everything from the menu. The interior and food are spot-on, earning regular praises from the patrons. The casual contender for the breakfast and brunch scene, Egg Benedict is the most sought-after after dish here. The presentation pleases the eyes first before heading to your mouth. A pair of perfectly poached eggs sit on slivers of fresh chicken ham, cheese, and spongy buns, then the whole stack is smeared with Hollandaise sauce. A handful of greens adds colour and texture to the dish. Hearty and healthy, the best platter to kick start your day, with their artistic cup of joe by the side. 

It’s truly a replacement for all mediocre meals you had before; the Replacement Cafe is among the most-buzzed spots in the state.  The whitewashed colonial building is easy to spot as it exudes a touch of nostalgia. Among the pride of the kitchen is their Friendly Eggs Benny with Portobello Mushroom. Two wobbly poached eggs rest on toasted English muffins which are tarted up with smoked salmon, wallop of Portobello mushroom, buttery spinach, and hollandaise sauce. Spear that delightful dome, allowing the yolk to seep through the whole dish for a mouthwatering bite. Gobble down the salacious platter along freshly brewed coffee, while adoring the hanging rustic bulbs, marbled walls and the world go by through the floor-length glass windows. 

Besotted with a setting that steals the spotlight, you’ll be walking in with an open-mouthed wonder, adorning the urban and sophisticated dining space. Sweep through the extensive menu, and if you need a poached egg to accompany your dish, opt for their signature Seared Salmon with Poached Egg. The thick slab of seared salmon is paired with fresh garden salads, tomato compote, and teardrop-shaped poached egg. The yolk acts as the vehicle to unify the dish, dressing to the salad and adding a layer of flavour to the tender and juicy salmon. It’s truly a vantage point that offers rewarding views while chomping down delicious meals. 

An innovatively inspiring interior that sets the mood straightaway, Eight at Lido Hill is a refined getaway for those who are bored to tears with rustic and wooden-themed cafes. Matching their exquisite atmosphere, the meals are spot-on and their recent take on French toast is commendable. The fluffy bread is topped with a dollop of homemade jam, coupled with beautifully poached egg amidst a pool of chickpea stew. The trick is to prick the bouncy cloud and unleash that yolk then mop the platter clean. 

This renowned bakery is always a rhythm to ears to all sweet-tooth in Johor. The ambience is easy to fall in love with, with faux green framing up the white washed walls and furniture, evoking elegance and charm at every sight. However, you’ve got to look beyond those drool-inducing cakes and pastries to their best-kept secret, Chicken Ham and Poached Egg Spaghetti. The hearty portion of pasta is infused with slivers of chicken ham, diced peppers and the perfectly poached egg rounds out the package. Slither through the egg, unleash the eggy floodgates, ensuring it coats every strand for a burst of flavour.
