Tamago-En
it is probably not uncommon to have an all eggs themed restaurant , considering that it is a regularly used ingredient in several dishes. but this Okinawa-based eggs eatery is somewhat special, with focus on the freshness of imported Japanese eggs and their superior quality, the eggs not only radiates an attractive golden-orange yolk, they are so fresh that they can be eaten raw or with this special soya sauce..
Tamago-En is an Okinawa based concept brought into Singapore by the folks who runs the highly successful En-Sakaba. with its only outlet on level 2 of NEX in Serangoon, the store attracts long queues eager to try variants of egg-based dishes. not only are the egg yolks bright, they have mastered the art of the trendy millennial food of cloud eggs - whipping the eggs into a fluffy cloud. the restaurant also introduces to us the Japanese culture of eating really good quality eggs mixed with rice. 
Their specialty dish is the Tamago Kake-Gohan, or Ultimate Egg Rice, essentially the special cloud eggs sitting atop fragrant steamed rice. you can mix it with other ingredients, spring onions and drizzle it with the special soya sauce. Toppings that you can add on include tuna, salmon, chicken or Tsukune chicken balls, to make it a heartier meal. being always a lover of watery fresh egg yolks mixed with rice or noodles, we lapped up this dish with glee. 
i guess being an eggs theme restaurant, you can't go without serving Omu rice or eggs omelette rice. we tried this Salmon Cream Omelette rice which came in very fragrant cream sauce and served with spinach. the omelette wraps the rice perfectly and the salmon was fresh as well. tomato lovers can go for the seafood tomato cream based Omu rice which looked very attractive as well. with a neat range of fast serving comfort food, it is no wonder that this concept is so popular with the customers. 
they have even got egg skewers for variety! we ordered this 5-kind egg skewer set that comes with neatly prepared omelette cubes topped with tomato, seaweed sauce, ikura, crab-meat mayo and salmon flakes. all the omelette cubes are spongy and served warm, with the little dollop of topping giving each one a unique taste. we would recommend this dish for first-timers to the eatery. we do observe several patrons trying out the desserts as well, and we made mental notes to check out their fresh egg-yolk milkshakes. they have a few flavours from original to strawberry, but we were very curious how egg-yolks would fare when mixed as a shake. Thats probably the only drink worth trying, as the other regular drinks were priced a tad too high, making them somewhat unappealing. in all, Tamago-En is a unique concept and makes a good family restaurant. we hope that with the success enjoyed at NEX, they'd be opening more outlets near us soon...
