[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.

[Review] Cream Tea at The English Rose

By chance I discovered this cozy tea room when I was on the bus to Victoria Station.
As it is conveniently located by the station, I visited it one afternoon before I had to travel somewhere.

It was late in the afternoon and filled with people.

The decor was very homely but then it used to be a house, every corner of the place was beautiful.

The menu was down to earth and not overpriced which is a hard to find in Central London.

Overall, I had a great time there but the only thing that let it down was the scone which was a bit dry and hard.

Other than that, this place is highly recommended.

[Review] Lovely pies at Young Vegans

I have heard of Young Vegans a lot but didn't really know it was a pie shop until recently.

When I found out that they served Vegan pie and mash decided to give it a visit.

The shop is easily missed because it is right at the back but the good thing is that they have a few seats inside and there are tables outside.

Seitan and ale or the Aussie vegan mince pies were my main choices because pies with gravy are usually beef.

According to their insta, the steak is seitan while the Aussie vegan uses mince.

Unfortunately when it was my turn to order, both the labels for these pies were turned over so I thought they would not refill them so I ordered the Cheeseburger instead.

Other pies that were available were the Chick'n Katsu, Chick'n parmigiana and the Sweet and sour chick'n.

When I got my pie, it was satisfying to see it drizzled with gravy and topped crisp onions.

Instead of mash, I had mac and cheese.

Although it was not the pie of my choice, the cheeseburger was actually delicious because of the flavours like gherkin and cheese inside but the seitan beef patty let it down a bit because the texture was rather rubbery as it was all compacted into one patty.

The vegan mac and cheese was quite comforting in the sense that it was creamy and cheesy yet light.

 

It was good that they serve tea but it wasn't very full.

After I finished my pie, decided to go in and look at the menu again but to my surprise the pies were refilled so I was a bit gutted that they didn't tell people they were going to be refilled.

Saying that the cheeseburger pie wasn't bad so I didn't make a wrong choice.

To summarize, I would definitely recommend their pies and the flavours really blend in nicely as they have taken popular pub favourites like sweet and sour and put it in a pie.
