(Credits: @yvet0)
here’s your fix of Salted egg carrot cake from now till 2nd August!
For updates, please scroll to the end of the post!
I mean, really. When we see the words “Salted Egg” something, our eyes will light up and our hearts will automatically skip a beat, and who cares about the price? Just order only. This is for you, Salted Egg lovers.
I’ve been searching for all types of salted egg dishes in Singapore, and wanted to try them all before writing this guide. However, my belly can’t keep up with the rate of these inventive salted egg dishes are coming up EACH DAY. Who cares what I think of the dish?! Even if I say it’s bad, you guys would still go ahead to try it, because how bad can salted egg yolk dishes get?! I know.
This list will be updated on a regular basis. I may have missed out a few places for each dish, so feel free to update me in the comments section below. All that glitters is not gold, here goes, some liquid gold.
Starting with the mother of golden sand,
1. Liu Sha Bao – The Mother of All Salted Egg Dishes
The places to get these are limitless, here are some of the mainstream ones:
Mongkok Dim Sum: 214 Geylang Road, Lor 17
Victor’s Kitchen: 91 Bencoolen Street, #01-49, Sunshine Plaza
Yi Dian Xin: 1012A Upper Serangoon Road (Cheapest and one of the best Liu Sha Baos in town!)
And of course, Swee Choon: 183/185/187/189/191 Jalan Besar
2. Bolo Liu Sha Bao
The BEST damn alternative to all kinds of Liu Sha Bao. Crisp crust, and a molten lava salted egg center. It’s like Tim Ho Wan’s bolo buns, but better, with liquid gold.
Mouth Restaurant: 68 Orchard Road, Plaza Singapura, #02-01
Get into my mouth NOW!
You must be thinking, oh my tell me something I don’t already know. 29 more dishes to go, and now, on to the mains..
3. Salted Egg Burger
This may look like an ordinary burger, but NO, it’s not. It’s DeBurg’s Asian Chicken Burger: A choice of 50 – 200g ($6.50, $11, $16) of chicken patty with greens, and SALTED EGG YOLK SAUCE! They could’ve been more generous with the sauce though. If this isn’t enough, you could top up $4 as an add on! The salted egg sauce is also available in the Crab Burger!
Deburg: 2 Kallang Avenue, #02-15. CT Hub., S339407
4. Salted Egg Crab
There are loads of seafood places and tze char stalls that serves up this dish, and needs no further recommendation! The one I had at House of Seafood was pretty dope!
House of Seafood: 3 Punggol Point Road, The Punggol Settlement #01-01/02
5. Salted Egg Chicken Wings/ Drumlets
By the boys from Stateland Cafe, these salted egg yolk chicken ($15.90 for 8 pieces, 2 flavors) from Chick and Ken was pretty addictive! Wish they would incorporate some of these homemade sauce into their thick toast at Stateland!
Chick and Ken: 21 Lorong Telok, Singapore 049033
Beer Market: 3B River Valley Road, #01-17/02-02 Clarke Quay

Beer Market: 3B River Valley Road, #01-17/02-02 Clarke Quay
8. Salted Egg Eggs Benedict
I reached Drury Lane at 10am, and found out that they had a new menu. This Salted Egg Eggs Benedict ($17) caught my attention immediately, but it was only available from 2pm onwards. Guess who starved herself to wait for this? And all I could say, it was well worth the wait. One of the better Eggs Benedict I’ve had. Salted Egg, prawn on a toasted mantou. POWER LAH.
Drury Lane: 94 Tg Pagar Rd, Singapore 088515
Side dishes,
9. Salted Egg Calamari
Every time I ask for a salted egg yolk dish, I’ll get directed to Wah Chee for it’s calamari. It’s either this dish is pretty damn good, or it’s because I am in NUS, and Wah Chee is very nearby. Hmmm.. I would say it’s most likely the latter. I thought this dish was pretty average, and it gets quite gelat after a few rings. Good to share though! Not to worry, like the salted egg crab, this can be found in many other tze char stalls too!
Wah Chee: 3 Dover Road, Singapore 130003
10. Salted Egg Prawn
Had this at House of Seafood as well. Loved the grainy texture! Likewise, available at many other stalls as well! Do tell me where’s your favorite place to get your salted egg prawn fix!
House of Seafood: 3 Punggol Point Road, The Punggol Settlement #01-01/02
11. Salted Egg Pork Ribs
(Credits: @brxnlau)
I am surprised I haven’t got down to eating this since it’s been highly raved about, like for.. ever, from New Station Snack Bar. Located at the very convenient Far East Plaza, please go get your fix of Salted Egg Pork Ribs for me!
New Station Snack Bar: Far East Plaza #05-95, 14 Scotts Road (S)228213
12. Salted Egg Fries
LeBan was the first place I heard of having salted egg fries, and I think they were the pioneer of this dish before cafes like Arbite and The Quarters came up with it! I loved this from LeBan cafe because the servings are SO generous, and there are actual chunks of salted egg yolk within the fries!
LeBan HK Cafe: 2 Jalan Leban, 577547
Also available at:
A for Arbite: 66A Serangoon Garden Way
The Quarters: 16 Enggor Street, Singapore 079717
November 8: 11 Sin Ming Road, Singapore 575629
13. Salted Egg Sweet Potato Fries
This definitely needs no introduction. Singapore’s one and only salted egg sweet potato fries from Sin Lee! Wish they were more generous with the serving of salted egg yolk sauce to go with the fries at the bottom of the bowl though!
Sin Lee: 4 Jalan Bukit Ho Swee, Singapore 162004
14. Salted Egg Sweet Potato
(Credits: @fiveanddimesg)
NEW FROM FIVE AND DIME! In addition to their repertoire of salted egg dishes, now they have SALTED EGG SWEET POTATO CHUNKS (not fries hor)! I NEED TO TRY THIS. And all salted egg lovers, this is your go to cafe for that fix. THREE SALTED EGG DISHES IN THE MENU. Please put them on your list now!
Five & Dime: 297 River Valley Road, Singapore 238338
15. Salted Egg Onion Rings
Salted Egg Onion Rings from The Refinery has been on my list since forever, but I haven’t got down to visit them. Maybe after this article, I will. Look at those gorgeous onion rings calling out to me.
The Refinery: 115 King George’s Ave, Singapore 208561
16. Salted Egg Fish Skin
Fried upon order, these Golden crisp fried fish skin ($7.80) can be found at Noodle Stories at Orchard Central! I thought they could do more with the salted egg sauce because I tasted mostly fish skin. A good attempt though!!
Noodle Stories: 181 Orchard Road, Orchard Central, 238896
17. Salted Egg Crispy Lotus
This is my motivation to finally put a Chinese restaurant on my to-visit list. Crispy Lotus with Salted Egg from Wan He Lou!
Wan He Lou: 65 Maude Rd, 208347
After all these savory stuff, here you go, desserts/pastries with Salted Egg. THAT SWEET-SAVORY COMBINATION.
18. Salted Egg Lava Cake
This is none other than the SALTED EGG CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE from Five and Dime. Damn spoil market this dish. So photogenic and so video-genic. But, actually the taste, okay only lah! Hahaha! Good to try for novelty sake, and INSTAGRAM SAKE! Limited quantities a day though, I had to visit them twice to finally get it!
Five & Dime: 297 River Valley Road, Singapore 238338
Updated! The Pecking Order: 13 North Canal Road, #01-01, Singapore 048826
19. Salted Egg Donuts
Oooh donuts with Salted Egg Yolk dip! Only found at FIX! A little underwhelming, probably because I held high expectations for it! It would be ALOT better if the salted egg yolk was found within the donuts though. OOOOOH I am squealing at that thought!
Fix: 31 Ah Hood Rd, #01-06,HomeTeam NS-JOM Clubhouse, 329979
20. Salted Egg Cupcake
I just went to Audacious Cakery to check last week, it looks a lot better than this now. Hahaha! I loved the sweet-savory combination in this one, and it’s from Audacious. Nothing can taste mediocre at Audacious.

21. Salted Egg Brownie
(Credits: @scooptherapy)
Me need to try this, pronto. That liquid gold oozing upon the crumbly bits of brownie. I am having a sugar rush just looking at this. But wouldn’t the fudgy taste mar the taste of salted egg? I can only guess for now! Warm Fudgy Brownie on a bed of chocolate soil, topped up with a scoop of ice cream and salted egg yolk drizzle from Scoop Therapy!
Scoop therapy: 12 Kim Keat Road, #01-01, Singapore 328841
22. Salted Egg Ice Cream
The father of all Salted Egg Yolk Ice Cream you can find now, from Tom’s Palette! I love how they are located just opposite A-roy Thai, because what is better than good thai food, and shiok ice cream after?
Tom’s Palette: 100 Beach Road, Singapore 189702
Also available at, Scoop therapy: 12 Kim Keat Road, #01-01, Singapore 328841
23. Salted Egg Bread
When I first saw that Baker Talent had this Golden Sand Bread, I dropped everything and went to the nearest outlet to get it. Verdict? Too buttery for my liking, but it is so cheap (only 90 cents!), and the liu sha really flowed! Good news is, they have many stores islandwide now!

(Credits: @evanezer)
This looks like just an ordinary matcha french toast. Okay matcha french toast is not that ordinary already, but it gets better.(Credits: @deyb)
Look! It’s matcha french toast with salted egg yolk filling. What a genius creation. Could’ve tried this myself, if not for my carelessness, and going there at 3.30pm when the kitchen is closed after lunch. Boohoo!
Only available at this outlet: A for Arbite: 66A Serangoon Garden Way
25. Salted Egg Macaron
(Credits: @bing_leow)
Salted Egg Macarons, only available at Corner House at Botanic Gardens. However, the downside to this is that, you can’t simply buy these off the shelf. It has to be ordered as part of the petit fours they offer on their 4-course dinner menu! A pity!

26. Salted Egg Yolk Cake
This is definitely the next on my list! Salted Egg yolk cake from Saveur Art. That’s right, a upscale version of our favorite Saveur, and Concetto! Affordable fine dining, with an awesome display of cakes!

28. Salted Egg Waffle
Does this need more introduction? If i don’t include this in my list, I will get hounded by all you waffle lovers out there.
Yes. this is none other than Fat Cat’s gourmet waffle selection: Charcoal waffle with salted egg sauce, topped with a scoop of butter beer ice cream ($10.50). Super affordable. I’ve been looking forward to this mainstream pour shot for all my life. Go for a milder tasting ice cream for this waffle to get the best out of the salted egg yolk sauce!
Fat Cat Ice Cream Bar: 416 Bedok North Avenue 2, #01-25, 460416
29. Salted Egg Tart
(Credits: Tart Blanc)
This looks and sounds too good to be true! Even though I’ve seen a couple of reviews commenting about how the supposed molten lava filling, is not exactly molten.
Tart Blanc: Raffles Boulevard, Millenia Walk #01-102
30. Salted Egg Lava MUFFIN
Black and Ink does not only serve this amazing salted egg lava muffin on weekends, they do have LAVA EGG MUFFINS too! Remember to ask for the Under The Table cake too. Amazing banana cake with FRESH SLICES OF BANANA with belgium chocolate. Grab a cuppa from Big Roy while you’re at it.

I know some times it’s just so difficult to go out to get all of these into your tummy, so..

33. Salted Egg Taro Ball
This struck a chord in my heart. That warm molten custard center encased with a crispy taro exterior. PLEASE GET IT HERE IN SINGAPORE!
Here’s the end of the Ultimate Guide for now, and I’ve tried my best to get all corners covered on this one.
