Oh yeah, it's my turn to be a slut for Eggslut. The American egg sandwich shoppe has finally hit our shores, opening it's first branch at Scotts Square to snaking queues. Y'all folks can't get enough of new food trends eh. (Myself included.) It actually reminds me of Shake Shack when they first opened over here - the queues, the hype, it's all too similar I tell ya!
Being egg specialists, @eggslutsg
offers up egg sandwiches and more! Scrambled, baked, overeasy, you name it. My friends decided to head down on a Saturday afternoon and while there was a queue, it took around 30 minutes to get a seat. (Which is kinda fast.) Well, we decided to get:
◾Fairfax Sandwich + Bacon [$15]
The OG Eggslut sandwich with buttery soft scrambled eggs is none other than the Fairfax. You just have to get this when you're at the slut. And of course, bacon is not necessary but definitely a much need salty and meaty addition to round off the sandwich that's topped with chives, onions, cheddar cheese and sriracha mayo
◾Sausage, Egg & Cheese [$12]
Reminding me of a fancier version of McDonald's Sausage McMuffin, this version from Eggslut was superb as well. The house-made chicken sausage was *chef kiss* and the brioche bun was everything the McMuffin ain't.
◾Cheeseburger [$13.5]
Sadly, the Gaucho wasn't available during our visit. (Why God why.) Hence my friends and I settled for the Cheeseburger as we're all carnivores and needed a lil' meat. Unfortunately, while a good sandwich in its own right, it didn't really impress and was kinda forgettable. It was very similar to the Sausage sandwich - which I found more flavourful cos of the sausage patty. So get that instead I would say if you're deciding between the two.
All in all, I'm glad I got to try Eggslut and be a slut myself. Their egg sandwiches are a pretty solid entry into the local market and the price ain't as bad as - *glances at Shake Shack*. I'll definitely head back to try the Gaucho, but only if there ain't no queues. I'm sure the hype will end sooner or later, just like - *glances at Shake Shack again*.
Finally. After Shake Shack's opening a couple of months ago - I've finally tried it. Having eaten Shake Shack for the first time in London and finding it to be one of the best burgers I've ever had - I was hoping to relive that experience again when Shake Shack announced it's entry into Singapore. Of course, I've constantly avoided the place due to the disgustingly long line of queues that never seem to end but alas I couldn't wait no longer and decided to give it a go one Friday evening when the queue looked manageable.
And might I add, it was everything I have ever hoped for. The ShackBurger is still as good as the one that I had in London - but this time I decided to add bacon into the mix and it was oh so delicious. The Pandan Shake was friggin' thicc and delectable to boot. I'm a sweet tooth guy and I go nuts for anything gula melaka. Honestly it's more dessert than drink - not to mention that it was so thick that I ended up going at it with a spoon instead of a straw.
Definitely wanna head back again to try some of their other menu items but oof the price. Oh Lord the price. For fast food, it's definitely not priced that way and that's the only thing keeping me from going back more even though my stomach craves for it.
