JB eats

my friend calls this japanese version of leicha so you get the gist, you can choose to pour the green tea/soup into the rice for a comforting meal. a very decent don but unfortunately it wasn’t really something we particularly enjoyed. btw we tasted the green tea/soup on its own and it was light, flavourful & great on its own!

the price difference really reflects a taste difference, not a matcha purist so i don’t think i’ll be able to tell unless i had it side by side since yuri was decent! but wow kiku was so rich, earthy, umami & smooth. definitely will reorder but i’ll love to try it w oat milk the next time!

tastes even better than it looks. the highlight was the breaded tamago - fried to crisp, it was sufficiently sweet, soft on the insides and extremely crispy on the outside, adding a different dimension to the textures. in a single mouth, you’ll first taste the umami flavour of the torched mentaiko, then the crisp yet soft tamago with a dash of sweetness and the fluffy bread that balances everything out. simply an explosion of flavours and textures.

you can’t go wrong with this! simple & tasty.

a little underwhelming - i also was expecting the sweet sauce that most 蛋饼 in taiwan had!

the scene stealer in all that we’ve had - creamy and jam packed with eggy goodness that’s sandwiched between fragrant crisp toasted white bread. this was beyond a delight to have, it was comforting and entirely all meals worthy.
