Rolling egg is among one of the new western-style all-day breakfast shops in Tainan. Located in the alley just behind the 85C on the corner of DongNing Rd. and Linsen Rd., Rolling Egg is a hidden gem. When we first entered, we were courteously  greeted and seated by staff that spoke English and Chinese. I felt like I had just walked into any  all-day-brunch place from North America. It wasn’t just because of the decor – the sounds and smells were all replicated as well.

Rolling Egg offers brunch and American diner food.  The brunch items range from eggs with bacon or sausage to pancakes to french toast to omelettes to (my personal favorite) eggs benedict. Off the lunch/dinner menu are hamburgers, sandwiches and pasta. Each dish comes in a combo roughly priced between 220NTD~270NTD. A meal includes coffee/tea and juice, fries/hash browns/potatoes o’brien, bread and fruit.

Now under each item was a plethora of choices when ordering. Tina was set of having an omelette, but there were so many different types to choose from – denver, veggie, hog heaven, chilli and cheese, basil and chicken, bacon and cheese. She chose the chilli and cheese omelette adding, swiss cheese. Narrowing down what I wanted to eat I settled with the eggs benedict with smoked salmon and Canadian bacon. Yum.

When the omelette arrived, I was impressed.  The eggs were perfect – just a little runny on the inside and when this thing was cut, it bursted with smells, aroma and texture. The taste was pretty damn good as well. For the eggs benedict – the hollandaise sauce was a little thin, but was spot on with taste. The eggs had to run, once cut into it. I took my knife and dived into it with high hopes- the eggs perfectly cooked yet again. Man, I felt like I was watching food porn. We both finished our meals with smiles.

I will definitely make my way back to Rolling Egg. Although, I only had a little sample of there menu, what I had instantly put them near the top of best brunch places in town.
