O by Locofood is a small breakfast shop located in the Minsheng Community area. It is the second store by Locofood, which is at Nanjing East Road. Whereas the (very popular) first store Locofood is more like a restaurant/cafe with a more diverse variety of breakfast food to offer, O by Locofood is mainly focused on "danbing" (蛋餅, Taiwanese omelet). There are a few tables and (most of the time) no chairs! It's more a grab a quick bite and be on the go again kind of place.
The menu is in Chinese only, so be adventurous and try your luck! Haha, or you can ask them in English what all the flavors are. But even in Chinese, we had to ask about some of the danbing flavors, since some of the Chinese names weren't very clear about what to expect.
A good danbing has to be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and LoCo Food surely has the whole package. On top of that, they have created some interesting fillings like hash brown (personally my favourite), barbecue pork and sausage. Everything is served in a cute cast iron pan.
For breakfast, a cup of soy milk goes perfect with the danbing!
If you go in the morning, you can try one of the daily breakfast sets which comes with a drink. In my opinion, anytime is danbing time! But keep in mind that they close at 4 PM.
