Last time I came during grand opening days, I had reason to believe the eggs here were slightly below 澳牛 standards as it was less fluffier. However - after trying 澳牛 recently again last week and I've tried that like 7-8 times, my conclusion is that nowadays from my latest 2 visits, 華星冰室 > 澳牛 in terms of Scrambled Eggs! The toasts however are too under toasted in 華星, which is opposite to my 1st experience here.

bowl1) One important thing is that at 澳牛, the Eggs sit on top of the toast which makes it look at lot taller and fluffier, especially with the Friction from the toast itself holding up the egg mount's shape properly. smile Whereas the 華星 version has toasts on the side with the eggs resting on the concaved slippery plate, meaning it falls flatter and appears like so too, its all psychological in fact. READ BELOW. Once you start eating the eggs, both versions are fluffy indeed except 澳牛 is still mounted better - except 華星 gets the doneness right more often as its more moist everytime and tasted stronger of eggs as well.

bowl2) The ham is still a bit cold. The toast a bit underdone. This needs fixing.

bowl3) Finally tried the Char Siu Spaghetti for fun. The soup is better than 澳牛 so is the spaghetti. I don't like this kind of dish but its ok edible smile

bowl4) Tried the Truffled Scrambled Eggs, which are served on double plates aka Kaiten Sushi Shop style, so staff can count the number of plates to bill you on how much you've eaten. That literally translates as - Truffled vs Non-Truffled Scrambled Eggs becomes exactly 100% double in price @ $30! The so called black truffle were crumbly pieces rather than the Truffle Duxelle version I had envisioned... They also lack aroma or taste whatsoever. sad Definitely not worth paying for this posher version. SUPRISINGLY, the truffled version had the eggs sitting on top of the toast, unlike the normal Eggs and Ham version. Due to finding traction from the friction of the toast's surface holding it up, it appears taller and a lot more grander, or visually fluffier... Eat at both places to compare for yourself - this places has over-taken the other places already for me.
Truffle no taste. Eggs excellent.

Already used up my Edit woops tongue


1) Actually I just realised that when I go to Aust Cow I always only order the Eggs with Toast, rather than the Set Meal. And in the Eggs with Toast version - the eggs are placed on top. But apparently, others who order the meals have the eggs and ham on the side, just like here!

Anyway, doesn't change the fact I liked the eggs here better. tongue
