Meet The Egg House: Shanghai’s Egg‑ish Insta‑Palace
Imagine a neon sign flashing “Last one in is a rotten egg” in bright pink, while a half‑dozen visitors hop around a gigantic caviar bowl—which is really just a giant ball pit—taking selfies that would make even the most seasoned Instagram star blush.
What’s Inside?
- ▶ A tea‑room‑shaped frying‑pan trampoline where two schoolgirls dressed in pink and white jump higher than a cat on a catnip binge.
- ▶ A room dedicated to the cheese‑sandwich armchair—yes, it’s as absurd as it sounds, but hey, who doesn’t love a chair that looks like the snack of the gods?
- ▶ A wall with a sign that goes, “STOP BEING SO BLOODY EGGY WHEN YOU TAKE IN”—mostly so you know you’re not allowed to grab your phone too aggressively.
Why All the Egg‑Vibes?
“It’s all about the universal love of eggs and a momentary escape from the city hustle,” says the creators. The concept is simple: throw a bunch of eggs—literally and figuratively—into a space where people can share a laugh and a snap.
Entry Fees & Access
It costs up to 198 yuan (S$40) to get in—offering entry for two adults on weekends. That’s roughly the price of a fancy coffee + a latte, so it’s a deal for those looking to fill their social feeds.
Praising & Admission
Aida Li, 29, says she feels a bit “too old for this,” but her heart’s all in for the vibrant décor. She’s all set to upload the images with her friend, while Ling Jiamo is rocking the lights, posing for selfies that even her boyfriend can’t resist.
All in all, The Egg House offers Shanghai’s denizens a quirky, egg‑centric escape that’s as deliciously silly as a double‑layered chocolate cake. If you’re craving a fresh, visual experience with a sprinkle of fun, it’s definitely worth hopping into the bowl—metaphorically, of course.
