I was dying to have a waterelon juice with lychee. On the way home I stopped at Eggettes. There was one poor fella working the counter, and a long line, but that guy was making bobba, eggettes, and chicken as fast as fast can be!
I didn't know what to expect. I have a love hate relationship with bobba, the tapioca is so good, but so weird. So when a friend recently brought me a 'bobba' with lychee jelly, all of the bobba pieces of the bobba puzzle came together.
WATERMELON JUICE WITH LYCHEE JELLY - watermelon juice super good, lychee jelly ok (I liked the jelly from Tapioca express it had better texture and more flavor)
THAI TEA WITH TAPIOCA - Thai tea was a little weaker than traditional Thai teas from Thai restaurants, tapioca was good (I think I'd try a different tea next time)
HONEYDEW EGGETTES - OMG WTF AMAZEBALLS. I was standing in line trying to decide whether or not to get these, and I am SO glad I did. They look like giant bubble wrap, or alien cookies if you have an overactive imagination like me. I was wondering if they were going to be eggy, they're not. They're light and crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
ORIGINAL CRISPY CHICKEN - lightly floured, then deep-fried, then re-heated in an oven. They were really good. Next time, I will ask for them plain without the cheese and green stuff. And I'll also ask for some sauce.
I imagine that it will take me several trips to find my favorite juice/tea situation (so many choices: tea, juice, frozen, tapioca, extra tapioca, fruit/tea combo). I think at Eggettes I will stick with tapioca. I will definitely be back for Eggettes, and the chicken.
I was sad to see they had fin soup... until I read more carefully and realized it was imitation. Good on ya Eggettes, for serving imitation shark fin :)
Minus 1 star... the interior of Eggettes needed a little refreshing (new paint on the walls and a...
Read moreAmple free street parking on El Camino Real and parking lot in front of 7 Eleven. Decent line and wait time during any time of the week. Two UFO prize grabbers with decent prizes such as fidget spinners, Disney plushies, figurines and water bottles. More than ten tables to choose from to sit down, eat your popcorn chicken (better than Quickly's) and down it with milk tea/snow.
I subtracted one star because this location isn't the most visually appealing compared to Eggettes in downtown San Mateo. Additionally, there are more various food and drink options at the Eggettes in downtown San Mateo than in SSF. I wish the owner added newer food and drink options because it's been the same menu for the past few years.
Will I be returning to Eggettes in SSF? Of course. I come here once or twice a week with my boyfriend, J, for their drinks and the UFO...
Read moreThis place has the very very very best "Chinese Eggettes" around entire Northern California... especially the order is made by the boss man!
"Golden crispy outside, and semi-moist/soft yolk inside" If you compare others and here, you will know to stop going to your regular shop for Eggettes!
My husband spoils me very much that he can drive an hour to reach this place when I crave for the eggettes. We actually go to this place one to two times a month.
One time my husband was speeding on HWY 101 and got a ticket ($400ish) because we want to get to the shop before its closing hour, and he was begging police to write up the ticket fast so we would not miss it.
Tee-hee-hee... The $400 dollars ticket rushing over for the $5 Chinese cookies was totally not worth it but it become a sweet memory between husband and I.
Keep up the...
