While the concept of [Mickey-shaped food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oscar-mayer-and-disney) is nothing new, this is the first time the park has managed to model egg yolks after the iconic cartoon mouse. The Mickey-shaped egg yolk has been making appearances inside a [boiled egg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-eggs-benedict) at Disneyland Tokyo. The eggs are served over a bowl of curry rice and vegetables, which come from the Plazma Ray's Diner. According to one news outlet, the Mickey-shaped egg yolk is achieved with a special Japanese machine that takes "The yolks and white of multiple eggs and then "manhandles them into tube form." However, if you ask Disney, the process is just plain "magic."
