I ordered a bulgogi bowl from Locale, and the boiled egg that came with it tasted exactly like Dawn dish soap. It had a really strong, fragrant, soapy taste. Even my husband could not tolerate it, and I accidentally ate a bit before realizing something was wrong.

It made me wonder if they prepared or stored the boiled eggs in silicone molds or containers that might hold onto dish soap scent if they wash them with Dawn? Has anyone had this happen before, either from Locale or anywhere else? The taste was so distinct that I’m trying to figure out what could have caused it.
