Epitome of Eggstasy..!!

I wanted to go there so badly after my first visit that I was just trying to find a reason.. :)

Too many good reviews on Burrp and a few recommendations, landed us at the much obvious "The Egg Factory". This is in the lane next to Dewar’s Wine Stores on the St.Marks road.

The door has a spanner as its handle, dining hall - dim lit with and the walls with red and off white paint and the glass wall towards the road. This one had the paint mark of leg prints of the hen. Next to the door, one would find a huge pipe at the end of which a speaker is fixed which was continuously blowing some amazing English numbers. This enhanced the factory kinda setting with the speakers hidden in the sirens. No false roofing, totally painted black with the lights hanging from top. They’ve made sure the A/Cs are black in color too! The rustic floor adds to the theme! Dining area which can accommodate around 40 people has wooden tables with long wooden bench on one side and foldable metal chairs with cushion on the other side. The third wall is damp with a board, “DAMP WALL. PLEASE DO NOT LEAN”. Later realized, it’s been purposely left that way to make it look more natural.

After a thorough scan of the menu, I ordered the Egg Frittata. The South Western Frittata was a huge hit. After thoroughly satisfied with the frittata, we ordered ultimate veggies omelet. This scored good, but, my favorite still remains the frittata.

For the main course, I had the Egg and Mushroom Ragout Penne which was slightly bland and had its own flavor. One of the best pastas ever for me but, turned out to be too filling for my stomach. This was served with the garlic bread. My friend tried the Mota Special – this is supposed to be one of the famous egg delicacies made on the streets of Manipal. Bread and butter with the egg curry made an exceptionally good combination.

For all this satisfaction – the ambience, the food – ofcourse delicious, the music and the impeccable courteous service, a meal for two would cost anywhere around Rs.400 which is a total VFM..!!

Highly recommended for the eggatarians and for all those who’d love to experiment and have a total transformation..!!
