tastes even better than it looks. the highlight was the breaded tamago - fried to crisp, it was sufficiently sweet, soft on the insides and extremely crispy on the outside, adding a different dimension to the textures. in a single mouth, you’ll first taste the umami flavour of the torched mentaiko, then the crisp yet soft tamago with a dash of sweetness and the fluffy bread that balances everything out. simply an explosion of flavours and textures.

a little underwhelming - i also was expecting the sweet sauce that most 蛋饼 in taiwan had!

the scene stealer in all that we’ve had - creamy and jam packed with eggy goodness that’s sandwiched between fragrant crisp toasted white bread. this was beyond a delight to have, it was comforting and entirely all meals worthy.

the mentai was seriously satisfying, paired with that sweet and soft tamago. but same with the rice bowls, there’s no pull to come back for it. nonetheless it’s a great side dish.

at $13-$15 for our bowls, i’d say it’s a solid bowl - the cuts were fresh, rice was great honestly (you rly can’t miss that vinegar-ish rice for chirashi bowls, theirs even had a drizzle of sweet sauce). tho somehow lacking - there’s no pull to come back specifically for it, unless there’s an intense craving.

refreshing goodness - brewed with green tea, these were simple and thirst-quenching. if you love a little tanginess in your drinks, go for the mixed fruit tea, which had a good balance of sweet and sour.

a kinder surprise in dessert form - not only was the thai milk tea flavoured ice a delight to have, you'll also be able to dig in to a hidden mix of crunchy corn grits, dried strawberry, raisins and chocolate bits. love biting into these crunchy bits!

so visually appealing - dig into soft eggy pancakes drizzled with tiramisu flavoured cream. moderately sweet, this dessert seems to be catered to little ones too with the subtle coffee taste, a plus for parents! tip: have a scoop of ice cream with it to cut through any impending jelat-ness!

we tried a spread of their dishes but i'll zoom in on our favourite here (we even ordered seconds!):

a comforting dish i'd reach out to. i don't usually rate dishes but if i did, i'd give this a 5/5. in a single mouth, you'll taste the fragrance of the scallion oil, paired with soft tender chicken pieces with no gamey taste. this was also our favourite (and that's 5 of us) out of all the dishes we had.

simple, fuss-free side dish that i'd gladly snack on while putting on some shows. interestingly, i don't remember having it with any dips in taiwan but i must say, it was a pleasant addition. it was tangy yet sweet, and i found myself reaching out for it with each mouth of pancake.

a pork floss lover will love this. generously packed with floss rolled in a thin crepe egg layer and drizzled with sweet sauce, this was easily the snack we reached out to when it was served. this was also my favourite breakfast when i was in taiwan so it definitely brought back fond memories.
