Hawker Review: Dan's Crazy Square Eggs @ Timbre+ (One-North)

04/09/19




Menu (CAA 04/09/19)

I visited this stall before their official grand opening on 06/09/19, Friday. As a result, their Today's Special ($5.80) was not available yet. Thankfully though, they had the Moo Stash which was a mixture of ground beef covering the square scotch egg.

Moo Stash Lunch Set + Iced Chocolate ($6.80 + $3)
Square scotch egg, Ground beef, Banana shallots, Worcestershire sauce, Chili panko + 1 side (Salad, Soud, Dan's Fried rice and etc.) with a spicy thousand island dressing (Their sriracha sauce)



To start, the service was very friendly and they took the time to explain to me about the dish and which sauces compliment which dish. I was taking an Insta story throughout and the Chef paused mid-way to allow me to get a better shot.When I was there, I was charged $1.50 for the Iced Chocolate as there was a system error but they were kind enough to let it be.

FOOD:
Tried their fried rice which was sticky and moist. It had a hint of egg mayo but was overall quite bland. They have a variety of sauces to help elevate the rice though:
1) Greek yogurt - Light and refreshing (Meant to be paired with the lamb scotch egg)
2) Kaffir Lime - Tangy and surprisingly sweet with a very thin consistency almost like that of water (My favourite)
3) Sriracha - The one placed on my plate which was mildly spicy
Overall, really like all their condiments.

Moving on to the Scotch Egg, 
The spice from the chili panko hits you immediately followed by the subtle but distinct beef flavour. While it is very interesting, I felt that the flavours could be stronger as without any of the condiments, the scotch egg paired with the fried rice would have been far too bland and flat.
Taste: 5.5/10 > 8.5/10 (With their sauces)

The iced chocolate was essentially fresh milk + dark chocolate syrup > Chocolate milk (Slightly darker than normal... but essentially, chocolate milk).

They serve a bottomless cold brew ($5) as well which is refillable when bought during lunchtime.

I think the stall is very unique and has lots of potential to grow and improve considering how there seems to be no other stalls like it. I definitely wouldn't mind coming back to try some of their other dishes but as regular customers are made not just through their service or unique selling point, I do hope that they will be able to serve more flavourful and impactful dishes soon.

(This post will be updated accordingly if I do visit it again)
