If you love eggs but also don’t want to do without your daily dose of rice then you could do worse to head down to trendy Ekkamai community mall Park Lane. Set in a separate building, that follows the same faux Tuscan villa theme as the main mall, you’ll find Omu Japanese Omurice & Café. This achingly hip looking café is filled with beechwood floors and furniture (it look like it’s been lifted straight from an IKEA catalogue) and is flooded with light thanks to big windows and a soaring ceiling that includes an intriguing hanging wood sculpture. The food here is all about eggs, focusing as it does on the contemporary Japanese offering of omurice, which is fried rice wrapped inside a thin omelet and served with a choice of sauces. Still there are an impressive range of varieties to choose from including Omurice with Hamburger beef demi-glace sauce (B220), mushroom cream sauce (B160) or pork chop curry sauce (B180). If eggs really aren’t your obsession never fear, their café serves the usual choice of hot beverages and Japanese inspired desserts like the green tea cake roll (B80) or vanilla cake roll (B60).
