A perfectly cooked onsen egg sits on a hot plate in a moat of truffle sauce, basking in all its splendid glory, its full golden yolk bouncy and jiggly, teasingly tempting me to scoop it up before taking a photo. "Eat me", it taunts. Fresh shavings of black truffle and grated cheese rains down on the plump yolk, and I watch in anticipation as the server carefully hands it over. I pick up a spoon and gently press it against the jiggly yolk. Screw the photos. A river of sunshine bursts forth, and I quickly scoop it into our mouth. The warmth and richness of the yolk complemented by the musky, earthiness of truffle left me silent for a whole minute (which was how long it took me to polish off that dish). It’s the hallmark of all egg dishes. I obviously had seconds. Read all about Greenhouse's Truffle Rhapsody on GourmetAdventures.net!
