It’s the Year of the Rooster, which also means it’s the Year of the Egg!
Eggs. They are one of the most important foods in our diet, providing us high-quality proteins, vitamins, minerals, and good fats. They also happen to be incredibly versatile, with many different ways they can be used to whip out tantalizing dishes.
As this is the Year of the Rooster, also means it’s the Year of the Egg! Lucky for us, we have sussed out 7 best egg dishes that you have to try whilst they are still available in Singapore. And nope, they are not all eggs bennies!
1. One Egg Soup by Ninethirty
One Egg Soup, as the name implies, is made entirely from one egg. The soup is topped with a fluffy egg white soufflé with a drizzle of truffle oil to elevate the taste. Delicious, comforting, and with a tinge of truffle oil kick, this is a perfect appetizer to kick start a hearty meal whilst still maintaining your daily quota of eggs intake.

2. Tamagoyaki by Koki Tamagoyaki
Look at these perfectly shaped eggs! Tamagoyaki, translating to “grilled egg”, is the current eggy trend in Singapore right now. It is a type of Japanese omelette which involves the chef rolling together several layers of cooked eggs.
At Koki Tamagoyaki, you can choose to eat the eggs as it is (Dashimaki Tamago) or with different toppings added – such as the flame-grilled unagi, char-grilled chicken teriyaki, and braised Japanese char siew. We prefer the unagi combination as the flame-grilled unagi complete with the nori strips and diced pickled daikon complements well with the sea salt flavour of the eggs.
