Egghead Café is celebrating its 10-year anniversary on Jan. 18. In honor of the milestone birthday, the Kalihi brunch spot is featuring $10 menu specials on café favorites.
The café’s $10 plates will be available from Jan. 18 to 31.
The porky bao ($10 for two) features slow-braised pork belly with pickled veggies, sweetened crushed peanuts, cilantro and sesame seeds. The café’s pork belly bowl (regular price $16) is another featured special. It consists of slow-braised pork belly served over a bed of white rice with pickled veggies, a fried egg, fried shallots and green onions.
The Boom Boom chicken (regular price $14) is the eatery’s version of fried chicken. The crispy, juicy, bite-sized pieces are topped with basil and fried shallots, and come with sweet chili aioli or garlic jalapeno aioli for dipping. The chicken is crunchy and flavorful in and of itself; the dipping sauces just take them to the next level.
The peanut butter French toast (regular price $16) features a golden fried toast with a creamy peanut butter filling and is drizzled with condensed milk. It’s sure to satisfy if you prefer sweeter entrees for breakfast.
Other $10 specials include cheesy eggs (three soft scrambled eggs with country bread), green onion pancake with cheese (crepe-like savory pancake with basil, egg, sweet chili and garlic with shoyu and green onions), cinnamon French toast and avo-corn toast (avocado corn spread with basil aioli, feta and paprika).
Egghead’s Café signature dishes includes its eggs Benedicts — like the Cali Cali ($21) with avocado, bacon and salsa; and smoky salmon ($22) — sweet french toasts ($16-$20) and its fluffy pancakes ($12-$20).
The trio love ($20) — comprising three mini pancakes in three flavors of your choice — comes highly recommended if you can’t decide on a single flavor. Options include s’mores, strawberry shortcake, tiramisu and more.
Speaking of tiramisu — the café’s tiramisu latte ($6.50) is its most popular coffee. It’s ideal for those who prefer sweeter beverages, since it’s made with mascarpone cream and cocoa powder.
Keep an eye out for specialty drinks like the café’s iced taro milk tea ($6.50) and taro macapuno ($8), which is a blend of taro, oolong tea and ice cream.
