Smoked Tamago - Japanese & Korean street food

Originated from Asia Since 2016 Smoked Tamago is a highly acclaimed food stall that has taken Hong Kong by storm, serving authentic Japanese tamagoyaki - the beloved rolled omelette. We elevates this traditional Japanese dish with a modern twist that has captivated local foodies and tourists alike. Since our launch, we have become a media sensation, with glowing coverage from prominent outlets praising our exquisite flavors and craftsmanship. Long queues of eager customers at the stall have become a common sight, cementing its reputation as a must-visit culinary hotspot. Now, we’re bringing this unforgettable taste - along with an expanded menu featuring authentic Japanese and Korean dishes - to food lovers in the UK. From our famous tamagoyaki to exciting new creations, we’re here to share the same passion for high-quality, mouthwatering street food that made us a hit in Asia. #block-8527d8e34a3f478678ae .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-8527d8e34a3f478678ae { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-8527d8e34a3f478678ae { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-8527d8e34a3f478678ae .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { }

More about Prestonfield

City of Edinburgh, Scotland

Prestonfield sits quietly in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle, a proper suburb where the pace slows down and life gets a little bit easier. Bridgend Inspiring Growth is right there on the corner if you fancy a chat or want to see what workshops are popping up this week. It's not about being anywhere near the city centre, but rather about having exactly what you need without the usual rush. We know that sometimes a quiet walk through the neighbourhood is better than chasing crowds, and we're glad Bridgend Inspiring Growth keeps things lively when you want to turn up your volume.
