For the days when work pile is getting ridiculous trying to compete with Everest. Yogurt with berries, nuts and cashew butter is a great pit stop before climbing that beast of a pile.
La Ristrettos is and will always be a favourite little nook of mine. Decided on a whim to try the special breakfast set of crabcakes ($14) instead of the usual tostino (!!!) and it is a winner. English muffins, sunny side, cherry tomatoes, avocados, spinach, the crab cake itself and a side of sweet potato chips. I'm not an expert on crabcakes, but I felt this one deserves a mention, as well as to be eaten. Crab filling a'plenty and a peppery aftertaste makes it extremely yummy.
Decided to try out new waffle joint, on a Tuesday no less, and it did not disappoint. Crisp outer and a little moist inside. This is the batter that make hearts sing. Ice cream is salted caramel gelato which is not too sweet, just about right. But of course, staple is maple! And so! The place is a cosy little nook facing the bus stop, so it was perhaps a mistake sitting by the window. I'm sorry (no I'm not) for pulling obscene faces eating my waffle.
The Sanum. Where do we even begin to describe it? Do we start with its base, where swirls of yogurt is snuggled at the bottom? Do we talk about the crunch that you decide to add? The assortment of fruits which makes you go 'um' and 'wait' awkwardly because dilemma! Or maybe it's that assortment of sweet syrups your taste buds have been waiting for. The toppity perfect swirl with the addition of more syrup? Okay. I stop now.
Before the democratic (or is it) regime of exercise. Whole meal with almond butter and banana coins and wait! Last bit of yogurt which will look so sad if I eat it alone? I will not abandon you. Come come. Be the topping of my sandwich. Turns out more awesome cuzzz mind thinks it's whipped cream hmmm.
The Norwegian breakfast from Wild Honey has been granted as a honorary staple in Valhalla. Honestly. I am slayed. (Of course when you look at the pricing you also get the feel that yes, it's definitely imported from another realm) Good for special occasions like dinner after a long, victorious battle (with reality)
Crispy, light waffles which goes extremely well with the maple walnut ice cream. (With extra maple syrup and chocolate sauce too because why not?) definitely coming back to try more of their handcrafted ice cream!
Chaitime@Chevron House. This have got to be the best chai here without ever having to go to to India. The rustic interior of the place is great for winding down after work.
Mushroom omelette on whole meal, side of sliced cucumbers and a bar of feta!
Soba with cucumber, avocado and tuna cubes, tossed in citrus sesame dressing. Superb. The tiny tuna cubes are chewy and goes really well with the creamy sesame taste.
This is quite the winner. Love how moist this cake is, and the cherry twangy taste to it is pretty great. What really hit the spot was the crunchy granola on top. Goes. So. Well. OMG. Cleaned the plate.
Cinnamon sugar churros are amazing. With maple cream? You can fulfil that sweet tooth craving. If you're hesitant, try sharing with a friend :)
