A Japanese egg-specialist kitchen using Okinawa-fresh eggs at NEX Serangoon.
Tamago-EN at NEX is a casual Japanese restaurant built around one humble hero - the egg - using only the freshest eggs imported direct from Okinawa. Founded in Singapore, the egg speciality chain has built a following for turning a simple ingredient into a whole menu of comforting Japanese dishes. For egg lovers, it is a little haven of soft scrambles, silky custards and rich, golden flavours.The menu ranges across egg-focused rice bowls, sweet and savoury treats and dishes that put the ingredient front and centre, so there is something to tempt both the curious and the cautious. The NEX outlet is well placed for a relaxed mall meal, whether a mid-shopping lunch or an unhurried dinner. It suits families, students and anyone who delights in seeing a single ingredient celebrated to the full.
On the second level of NEX, Tamago-EN is a warm, unassuming stop that proves the egg deserves top billing. Settle in, try something familiar or new, and let the kitchen crack on. It is honest, heartening cooking - and a genuinely egg-cellent reason to visit Serangoon.

The breakfast set was nothing special, the egg was ordinary, and the salad was dry with no dressing, which was disappointing. The grilled unagi rice, however, was good. The waiter wasn’t very friendly. Overall, I don’t think I’ll be going back again
