It's been a while since I've posted anything. It's interesting and shows much about a person's character I think. Here I am, 3 months after having reached my 25 restaurant goals, and finally deciding to add a post to my blog. I love to procrastinate. I keep thinking about it, but I lack the incentive to action it.
Anyways, so this is a good start I guess? I haven't fully abandoned the idea of keeping up this blog, though the thought of it does sound like a lot of work. Thoughts tend to run through my mind at night, as I lie in my bed, usually within that 5 minute period before I fall asleep. I thought I had already thought through how I would complete the blog, and the skeleton of this post. I seem to have lost my thought. I guess it's justifiable that nothing really needs to stick nor make sense in the last 5 min before you fall asleep, let alone remembering it. Though I have to say, many of my great accomplishments (like how to intricately respond to an email to piss off a coworker, or how to politically respond to an email related to quality blah blah, yes, it's all about work, and I should be paid over time for thinking about it even to the last minute before my brain turns its light off) came to fruit within that short time span. It's all about "80-20" right?
So, focusing back on my blog. This restaurant is located near Granville Island. Well known for it omlettes, the restaurant is packed as a bee (?). This is Catherine's first weekend after she quit her job from lululemon. Catherine wanted to meet up with Asmin for brunch, and to thank her for the wonderful advice on leaving the company. I guess I was the "accompaniment". I don't mind. :)The service was extremely friendly despite the busy traffic. Aside from the typical "how are the food?", they did not even "try" or "attempt" to make us leave even after we had finished all our food, and there was a lineup at the door waiting for tables.
We ordered a jar of grapefruit juice to share, and ordered our own omlette dish. Frankly speaking, I'm not sure what's so good about omlettes, nor am I really fond of them. All I can say is that it is well made (compared to the ones I've had in the past) in the sense that the egg skin was so thinly crafted and nicely wrapped around the filling that it, aesthetically, looked more like a burrito. Portion isn't as huge as most of the other popular brunch places, but it is definitely enough. 2 full slices of toast plus an omlette is definitely enough for an early meal.
Lastly, as always, would I recommend this place? Yes.
