Eggslut, a Los Angeles-born fast-casual sandwich shop specializing in ¡ª you guessed it ¡ª egg dishes, opened its first location in Shinjuku last year. Starting this month, it¡¯s giving sweets a go, too, and debuted a new dessert: The Eggy Banana Pudding (?500 before tax). The dish riffs on the classic banana pudding popular in the Southern United States, and features crispy cardamom cookies and whipped cream atop a rich egg-based custard.
If you¡¯ve never been to an Eggslut before, you should give its savory sandwiches a try, first. That¡¯s the reason it expanded to this side of the Pacific, after all. But the pudding is pretty good, almost as good as what you¡¯d find at an actual American barbecue spot. Unsurprisingly, the egg-centric banana custard makes the dish. Eggslut knows what it does well, after all.
