Having already given us a look into his culinary tools of trade, Shane Osborn of ST BETTY now treats us to one of his signature lunchtime dishes — the 21st century egg — made with a single fried egg, char-grilled asparagus and garnished with lemon mayonnaise, black truffle and hazelnut dressing. Fusing age-old traditional Asian ingredients and manipulating flavors to suit a larger audience’s palate is just one of Shane Osborn‘s specialties. The century egg is commonly avoided due to the misconception that it is prepared using horse urine, but on the contrary it is a celebrated food eaten at weddings and made into numerous dishes. Combining century egg along with other uniquely flavored ingredients, Osborn also incorporates supplementary garnish to bring the taste of the dish closer to patrons’ comfort zones, while at the same time introducing to them new and exciting flavors — in this case juxtaposing a fried egg with chopped chilled century egg. The dish is simple, yet uses the freshest and finest quality ingredients. Not heavily weighing on the stomach, this makes for the perfect lunchtime snack and is truly memorable for its hot flowing, partially-cooked yolk, chilled century egg base, and the woodsy aftertaste of the meaty truffle.
