The dishes are diverse and the portions are generous. The triple-fried chicken nugget omelet rice is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the smooth omelet rice is satisfying. The chicken Caesar salad is fresh and tasty, while the creamy egg with pork loin and chicken leg performs steadily. However, the fried pork cutlet curry omelet rice is disappointing, with a poor texture and an indistinct curry sauce flavor.
The restaurant has a low-key exterior, and the interior environment is clean and comfortable. There aren’t many seats, making it suitable for enjoying brunch leisurely on the weekends.
A service fee of 10% applies. There is no time limit on weekdays, but it is recommended to make a reservation in advance.
Fried Pork Cutlet Curry Omelette Rice $280
Miso Matsusaka Pork Creamy Egg $330
The thickness of the Matsusaka pork is just right, but I personally prefer a crispier texture. The omelette wrapped around the toast is just about right; the toast is very soft, but there's no taste of miso at all.
Herb Chicken Thigh Creamy Egg $320
The meal is only different from the Matsusaka pork in the main dish; everything else is the same. The chicken thigh is quite tender but lacks any real surprise.

👀 This place is tucked away in an alley next to the library, looking quite low-key from the outside. There aren't many indoor seats, but the environment is clean and comfortable. We ordered a huge table's worth of food for four people and started eating right away!
🍗 I ordered the triple fried chicken nuggets omelet rice ($280). When it arrived, I was shocked by the portion size; there were really a lot of chicken nuggets, and they were freshly fried – crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with some meat juices. Served hot, it was fantastic, especially paired with the smooth omelet rice; I couldn't stop taking bites.
🥗 The chicken Caesar salad ($210) was also pretty good, with fresh and crunchy vegetables. The dressing was rich but not greasy, and the chicken had a sous-vide texture. The portion was generous, making it a suitable side to the main dish.
🐷 A friend ordered the creamy egg Matsusaka pork ($330); the cream sauce was rich and smooth, and the Matsusaka pork was perfectly pan-fried, crunchy to bite. Another dish, creamy egg chicken thigh ($320), was also nice, with tender chicken meat, a steady combination.
🐽 However, the fried pork cutlet curry omelet rice ($280) was really a disappointment. The pork cutlet was thick but hard to chew, and each bite felt a bit sore on the mouth… the whole table unanimously agreed this was the dud of the day 🥲
🍟 The truffle fries ($150) were an added snack, nicely crispy, and paired with truffle mayonnaise, it was aromatic. They were good but not a must-order.
🥤 For drinks, we ordered Combo A ($130) and Combo B ($160), which came with soup and beverages. The kiwi apple juice ($170) was refreshing and helped cut through the grease, with the perfect balance of tartness and sweetness; the mixed berry milkshake ($170) was thicker, which berry lovers would enjoy.
💰 The total amount was $2,200 (including service charge), averaging just over $500 per person, and we left very full. Aside from the pork cutlet being a letdown, everything else was up to standard. The fried chicken nuggets and salad are worth ordering, and the atmosphere is nice, making it great for a lazy weekend brunch!
