8. 炒蛋蔥餅 at Tonghua Night Market in Taipei, Taiwan
炒蛋蔥餅 is sold at the Tonghua night market and translates to both “Bomb Fried Green Onion Cake” and “Fried Egg Green Onion Cake.” It is combination of deep fried onion pancake and an egg that’s been directly dropped into the deep fryer suck together. As you sink your teeth into it, the yolk bursts lubricating that crispy green onion pancake.

One of the most delicious and photogenic egg I’ve ever eaten, a rosemary smoked organic egg cooked for 55 minutes at 64 degrees served in its eggshell placed in an egg carton surrounded with a cloud of fog from the liquid nitrogen.

Scotch Egg from Ginger Pig in London
This one didn’t make it on the list, but thought I’d share it with y’all anyways. I loathe hard boiled eggs so traditional English scotch eggs aren’t my thing, but for some reason I’m eggtremely fascinated by them. They’re just so freakin’ big and round, I can’t help but to stare every time I see these giant balls. Ginger Pig at the Borough Market in London has some of the biggest I’ve ever seen.
