Quality products and services
Tucked away in the bustling kopitiam at Tampines Mall's level 4, Dan Lao (蛋佬) has been winning hearts with their signature Hong Kong-style scrambled egg rice bowls.
The name literally means "egg guy" in Mandarin, and these folks certainly know their way around eggs. Each bowl features silky-smooth scrambled eggs that blanket fragrant white rice, creating the perfect comfort food that Singaporeans crave during lunch hours.
What sets Dan Lao apart is their technique - the eggs are cooked to a creamy, almost custard-like consistency that locals describe as "like eating clouds." Popular toppings include chunky luncheon meat cubes that add a nostalgic local touch, tender char siew with its sweet-savoury glaze, and crispy chicken cutlet that provides a satisfying crunch.
The stall's no-frills approach focuses on quality over fancy presentation. Prices are wallet-friendly, making it a favourite among office workers and students looking for a filling meal that won't break the bank. The portion sizes are generous too, with enough protein to keep you satisfied throughout the afternoon.
Whether you're craving something familiar or seeking comfort in a bowl, Dan Lao delivers with their deceptively simple yet perfectly executed scrambled egg rice.

Ordered char siew version, but the char siew is cold, though the portion is big.

Got food poisoning from eating this yesterday (it's definitely this cos it was the only thing I ate yesterday) and now I'm on MC today. Never going back to patronise again!

Ordered takeaway, thanks for the wrong order. Disappointing

Scrambled eggs is silky and smooth. Not bad, but the char siew was so dry and COLD. The guy literally just put the char siew that was already prepared on top of it. Service was okay. Suggest everyone not to choose char siew from this stall unless u want COLD meat.

Scrambled eggs were so fluffy and silky, 10/10 for me. However, the taste gets repetitive after a while, since it’s just egg, rice and meat :( Wish there were at least a few pieces of vegetables to cleanse the palette… Strongly recommend the fried chicken. Super moist and crispy, you can tell it’s freshly fried!

First tried it at their branch located in Maxwell Food centre. Both food and service were good. My go to would be their chicken cutlet with scrambled eggs.

Scrambled eggs with rice is a simple and delicious budget-friendly meal that can be enjoyed anytime.

Crispy and moist chicken. Silky egg covering rice with awesome sauce. Chilli matches perfectly. Shall be one of my favourites stalls when I eat here.

Although the location is listed as Tampines central, it is actually located in Tampines Mall. Quite a new stall. Food was alright. If pay by fair price app got 10% discount.

The tomato egg bowl and the standard luncheon meat and egg bowl were great. I think this is the perfect alternative for easties instead of having to go all the way to Maxwell, which can be crowded and takes a long time due to queues. Glad that they’ve opened up here. The egg was creamy, and tomatoes were sweet and fresh. Luncheon meat was sizable and for the price of $5.50-$6, I can’t complain in a mall. Queue moved very fast! Loved this and will definitely return for a reliable and fuss free meal. Remember to add the chilli crisp for added umami.

Honestly value for money at this Kopitiam, especially with the amount of protein you get! The egg was soft and creamy, chicken cutlet was nicely fried and seasoned, and you must pair it with their chilli sauce. Portion is just nice for 1 person. You can get 10% discount if pay via Fairprice app. Will revisit if I’m in the area!

Really delicious and generous portion! The best part was that they prepare it super fast and I got to enjoy it almost immediately 😊

one of the best food courts which has many good food choices. and this is my go-to everytime im here. creamy scrambled eggs cooked to perfection with thick chunks of luncheon meats. while the chicken cutlet seems to be their signature but i am not a fan of the thick layer of crust so the luncheon meat is. the. best.

Its basically Running Scramble egg with rice... i tried their cutlet with the rice. Portion is good, able to fill ur tummy. Overall tasty and savoury. $7 per portion. Service can be more warm though. I wld say okay to try. Located at Kopitiam Tampines Mall. Seats might be hard to find during meal hours.
