Exclusive Breakfast udon with an English twist at Marugame

Ever since Marugame launched the breakfast udon with a benedict twist, I have been meaning to try it because I love trying new things and I justed wanted to see how it would turn out.
Not only do they have benedict udon, they also have bacon and sausage tempura which is like battered sausage and bacon but with tempura coating.
At Marugame, there are so many things you can relate to like the tempura pieces which are just like chip shop scraps.
I was most looking forward to the tempura sausage because it was a Japanese sausage, the size of the sausage was like a cocktail sausage but the taste was very different with a crispy skin and smokey taste.
The bacon tempura was quite nice with the tonkatsu sauce which is similar to brown sauce.
So overall, the tempura bacon and sausage were quite nice but would love to try a tempura sausage using an English banger.
Moving on to the breakfast udon, you can choose Florentine udon with wilted spinach or benedict udon with bacon topped with an onsen egg and hollandaise sauce.
Since I had the tempura bacon, I got the Florentine udon and it was a good choice.
The creamy hollandaise sauce and onsen egg made the whole thing a bit like carbonara paired with cacio e pepe.
Overall, I enjoyed this more than their regular udon offerings because it was soupless and the wilted spinach texture was really soft and mushy like the canned stuff so when you mix the onsen egg, it was simply lush.
Would love to have this again but you have to get there quite early so hopefully the Charing Cross branch will be serving breakfast as well one day.
They also have sandos (Japanese sandwiches) which I tried as well, so I had the spinach and tofu which was quite tasty but salty at the same time.
