[ breakfast ] Yu-Liao Toast Eggs: Toasted Toast with Fried Chicken Tastes Great



Near Providence University, you'll find Jingyi Night Market. Starting from the market's entrance, follow Yingcai Road all the way to the eastern end where it connects with Zhennan Road. Along this Yingcai Road, you'll discover several hidden gem food shop.


One such gem is "Yu-Liao Toast Eggs"(有料吐司蛋 a.k.a Egg Toast with various toppings). This elegant breakfast shop is slightly removed from Shalu Jingyi Night Market, creating a tranquil dining atmosphere.

While the interior of Yu-Liao Toast Eggs is not spacious, the combination of white counters, light brown tables, and flooring imparts a bright and welcoming ambience.

This Shalu breakfast shop is more than just a pretty face; it's the culinary experience you've been waiting for! Their menu includes breakfast classics like toast, egg sandwiches, and Taiwanese egg rolls – similar to many Taiwanese breakfast diners. However, what makes this breakfast spot stand out is the emphasis on healthy and fresh flavors in their dishes.

Speaking from my personal experience, I absolutely adore the Salad Toast series at this d. One reason is the affordability, but more importantly, it's because these salad toasts have an exceptionally refreshing taste. The toast is lightly toasted, offering a delightful crunch without being too dry. 

You can choose from egg salad, mashed potato salad, or tuna salad, and the balance of dressing and fillings is just right. With every bite, you get a generous amount of fillings, not just a mouthful of dressing. What truly captures my heart about the salad toast here is the addition of fresh cabbage. Sandwiched between two slices of toast, along with the salad and fresh veggies, it's a crisp and healthy delight.

If you're in the mood for something more substantial, the Karage Chicken Cutlet (which means fried chicken with crisp and the crisp is so crispy that when you bite it you'll hear the sound) and Fried Chicken Breast will leave an unforgettable impression. They share the same base as the salad toasts—toast and cabbage—but replace the salad with juicy chicken thigh or breast. The meat remains tender and succulent, not losing its moisture due to frying. The crispy outer layer, while a tad oily, adds a delightful texture and aroma.

For beverage enthusiasts like myself, the drink options here are equally appealing. I have a particular fondness for their milk tea, available in both regular milk tea and fresh milk tea varieties.

The difference is quite straightforward: both use black tea as a base, but regular milk tea incorporates milk powder, while fresh milk tea uses real milk. Yu-Liao Toast & Egg sources its milk from local farmers, resulting in a fresher taste compared to regular milk tea. It pairs exceptionally well with heartier dishes like the Karage Chicken Cutlet  and Fried Chicken Breast, given its lighter and more refreshing profile.
