Bright, instagram-friendly cafe on South Xiangyang Road by cutiepie Camden Hauge of the Shanghai Supperclub. It serves all day breakfast, and as the name suggests, this place is quite egg-centric…even if the dish doesn’t already involve eggs, you have the option to “put an egg on it!” for 8RMB in addition. They also do a 10-seat chef’s table every Thursday evening which sounds like a fun and intimate experience.
襄陽北路上這家 Egg，我還在巴黎時就聽住在上海的外國朋友說了。老板是美國女孩 Camden Hauge，她的溫馨小店全天供應早餐，每道菜不是已經有了雞蛋，就是可以 “put an egg on it!”。Egg每周四還有僅限 10 人座的 chef’s table，每周的主廚不一樣，這個月會有 Madison 的 Austin Hu 和 Elefante 的 Carlos Sotomayor 來客串，聽起來會是兩個相當美味的聚餐。
The menu is short and the portions are not huge, so if you are with a group of 4 or more, it’s easy to simply order everything to share. That’s what I did on my first visit.
Egg 的菜色選擇並不多，而且份量偏小，如果是4－5個朋友來聚餐的話，很容易就可以嚐遍整個菜單。
Coconut cold brew (32 RMB) was surprisingly good – who would’ve thought that coconut water and coffee go well together?
Coconut cold brew（32元）是Egg自制的椰子冰咖啡，沒想到椰子水和咖啡居然還滿搭的，好喝。
Sweet Potato Okonomiyaki (45 RMB).
Sweet Potato Okonomiyaki（45元）是大阪燒沒錯，不過 Camden 的版本裏面加了紅薯，有意思。
“Bec” (58 RMB): bacon egg + cheese, special sauce, pretzel bun.
“BEC”（58元）：培根、炒雞蛋、奶酪、辣味蛋黃醬、椒鹽餅 (pretzel bun)。
Autumn “Shakshouka” (55 RMB): pumpkin, poached egg, feta, sage, brown butter, pepitas, toast. Not what you’d expect from a typical shakshouka made with tomatoes, chili peppers, onions and spiced with cumin, the version at Egg is very mild.
Autumn “Shakshouka”（55元）秋季中東煨菜，裏面有南瓜、水波蛋、菲達芝士、鼠尾草、焦黃油、南瓜籽、面包。 一般的 Shakshouka 的主要食材爲番茄、辣椒、洋蔥、而且會用孜然調味，應該是相當濃郁的一道菜，不過 Egg 的shakshouka非常清淡…個人覺得太清淡了些。
Chinese Chilaquiles (68 RMB): scallion pancake, braised pork, fried egg, luobogan. Liked this one a lot.
Chinese Chilaquiles（68元）：中文菜單上翻譯是 “中式煎餅小吃”，碗裏有蔥油餅、手撕豬肉、煎蛋、蘿蔔乾。這是一道很受老外們歡迎的菜，不過中國人來吃可能會覺得不太值得？味道我是很喜歡的。
Hippie Bowl (55 RMB), barley, beet-pickled poached egg, kale, roast carrots, radish, feta, ras-el-hanout, dukkah…perhaps too healthy-tasting for me.
Hippie Bowl（55元）嬉皮沙拉：大麥、紅色蛋（甜菜根腌制過）、羽衣甘藍、烤胡蘿蔔、菲達芝士、白蘿蔔、中東香料（ras-el-hanout和dukkah）。吃起來太健康了，沒啥感覺。
Hash Brown Waffle (70 RMB), bacon, fried egg, tomato jam, coffee-pickled shrooms.
Hash Brown Waffle（70 RMB）馬鈴薯絲華夫餅：培根、煎蛋、番茄莎莎、咖啡腌蘑菇。
I didn’t order Avocado Toast (55 RMB) since it’s something I make quite regularly at home, but it seems to be a very popular dish at the cafe.
Avcado Toast 牛油果吐司（55元）似乎是 Egg 很受歡迎的一道菜，不過我因爲在家常自己做這個，就沒有點了。
Banana Bread (40 RMB), peant butter, burnt bananas, honey.
Banana Bread（40元）在香蕉蛋糕上抹了花生醬、再堆疊上焦糖香蕉和蜂蜜。
Cute little place. Pretty good cafe food with original twists, but I come here more for the comfortable space and friendly service. It gets very busy on weekends for brunch, so come early to secure a table especially you want that big one near the windows…Do know that there’s a bit of ventilation problem at Egg so you will smell like food when you leave this place.
Egg 的食物算不錯，不過其實我喜歡來這裏的原因是舒服的環境和服務。它的周末早午餐總是客滿而且不接受訂位，建議早點來，特別是如果你想要坐在窗戶旁邊那張漂亮的大木桌的話。還有 Egg 的排煙系統似乎有點問題，在這裡吃一頓飯出去後會有滿身的食物味…在意這點的人請小心。
