[Review] Eggslut in Nottinghill, Fitzrovia and Shoreditch

Eggslut is a famous joint from America which started in 2011 as street food.
Since then, they have made it internationally to Japan and UK.




There are mixed reactions for Eggslut in UK which I can understand because their scrambled egg is very different to the UK style scrambled egg and the way we have breakfast.
Obviously eggslut is an obsession to put eggs into everything just like chachanteng restaurants in Hong Kong which explains why there were quite a crowd of Asians because they can relate to the scrambled egg at eggslut.

Anyway, on the menu, the signature dish is the slut which is a coddled egg that I didn't try as I have had similar things in Hong Kong so I went for the Fairfax.
Gut instinct was to order the sausage, egg and cheese because they use Turkey in their sausages which is different from pork hence worth trying.
As for eggs, they use Clarence Court eggs which are famous for its rich yolked eggs.

The Fairfax looked more or less how the pictures showed and similar to those scrambled egg things in Hong Kong which are not really palatable.


Taking a bite, the scrambled eggs were light and fluffy so was the pillowly soft bun.
It was all in harmony with the chives, cheese and creamy sriracha mayo.
Definitely, the best scrambled egg bun I have had, but it was just hard to relate it with anything in the British breakfast, but comparing it to the Hong Kong's scrambled eggs from Hell, this is certainly Heaven.
The ones in Hong Kong taste like detergent laced with oil, artificial milk and butter substitutes in a nasty lifeless bun, one mouthful of would leave you bloated the whole day.

To be fair, I have to come back and try the turkey sausage because it is something that I can relate to more like a muffin and sunny egg runny yolk should complement the sausage nicely.

Fashionable Chinese roast

Good BBQ opened their first takeaway joint in Central in 2015 but sadly I never got to try the slow roasted pork because it was always sold out.

I don't work in Central so it is hard to find a place nearby to sit down and enjoy it.
Managed to try one of the side dishes that was not sold out some evening which was really good because I love OKRA!!

Anyway, recently found out from FB that they have a joint at Lab Concept with a dining area so went there asap.
Coming from Pacific Place, there are these stylish piggies on the floor that lead you to the joint.


Each piggy is different and stylish that I like almost every one of them.





To my surprise, they have fine French teas and lamb charsiu on the menu.





With traditional Chinese roast shops, you are normally put off visually because you see weird wood logs as chopping boards, grubby staff with greasy hands, meat dripping and other meats touching the glass window.
Here you don't see that but you see a TV of what is going on in the kitchen.
Ordered the lamb charsiu and slow roasted pork which comes in a stylish box that is more fashionable than the previous fashionable blue box they had!!
According to Good BBQ, they will change the design of the box every now and again.

As well as the box, the suckling pig is also made glamorous with a golden chain and sparkling gem eyes!

Even the little details like the sauces are labelled nicely.

I loved the lamb shoulder charsiu because it has the charsiu sweet flavouring yet it has a prominent lamb taste without the gaminess.
As well as pork, lamb gives you another option and people who don't eat pork won't miss out on Charsiu.


The slow cooked roast pork was tender and delicious.

New on the menu are buns, a popular snack in the UK.
I had this evilicious charsiu bun topped with a 63 degree egg.


As well as charsiu, they also have crispy pork belly, duck and other combos.

Finished off with a lovely fine French tea which was the perfect finish.

[2017] Eggsentially Art at Lee Gardens

Eggettes, Egglettes, Eggpuffs, EggWaffles these are all the same thing.
A waffle with connected semi spheres that is a popular street snack in Hong Kong that costs around $18-$50.

At Lee Gardens, they have held an eggette fair with many popular eggette stalls in one place.



Most of the eggettes cost $30 each which makes it easy when buying cash tokens as they comes in bases of $30.

There is a list of stalls with the eggettes they are offering.
There were some interesting flavours such as Takoyaki style from Fullhouse Egglet and Chocolate avocado from Mammy Pancake.


In the end I got eggettes from Eggspectation because I love their eggettes.
All their eggettes are made from duck eggs which was the traditional recipe back in the 1950s.
I tried the pork floss and seaweed which was really delicious because it was not too sweet and the pork floss tasted surprisingly good in the eggette.



I also tried the Lof10 style eggette which was topped with crispy parma ham.

Delicious runny yolk and luncheon ham sandwich

Walked past one day and saw someones sandwich had a nice runny yolk in between it so decided to get it too.

Their plastic bags and small containers are clear so you can see what food people get.

Luncheon meat and egg sandwich:
When I got my sandwich I was not disappointed it had a runny yolk as well.
The egg inside the sandwich was not scrambled, it was fried lightly in the pan.
The luncheon ham and the egg tasted really nice together and the egg was really nice and tender because there were parts which were just egg white.
The egg was nicely done in my opinion as there was no burnt bits or brown bits.
