Egg Hoppers
“Egg Hoppers” are the same concept, however, an egg is cracked into the middle as it is cooked. Both are served with coconut sambol, chilli paste or simply with salt and pepper. We found a restaurant in Unawatuna (Hop Stars) who had a western spin on these. Egg Benedict hoppers, bacon and egg hoppers . Absolutely delicious.
