Tanzie's - Review - Berkeley - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Tanzie’s is a Northern Thai brunch spot in Berkeley that specializes in lava eggs—a soft scrambled egg laid over a mound of rice, with your protein of choice. Go for the strips of caramelized pork jowl or the housemade sausage that get charred to a deep brown, and pair it all with fluffy thai beignets dunked in condensed milk. Eating here will motivate you to turn your phone face-down and spend an hour soaking in natural light from the living room-like space—there’s a little nook tucked away in the corner, and even a fireplace. photo credit: Julia Chen Food Rundown Grilled Pork Jowl We’d like to perfume our house with the crispy garlic bits that come on the side. This is our favorite brunch dish here—it comes with the creamy lava eggs and rice, but you’ll want to focus on the pork jowl, which is curled up and crispy on the edges. Thai Beignets These do sell out, so if they’re on the menu, jump on them. If we had it our way, we’d spend every slow Sunday morning dipping these puffy fried dough balls into the silky condensed milk." - Julia Chen
