| - I cannot convey in words just how delicious these damn pancakes are.
My boyfriend is not a pancake person. He doesn't enjoy food like I do, and pancakes are pretty much at the bottom of his breakfast/brunch list. He always finishes these pancakes.
This breakfast place works great for a California- Hawaii couple like us. They have an awesome selection of Hawaii "comfort foods" like corned beef hash, Portuguese sausage, eggs, and rice, loco moco, etc. But, they also have awesome Southwest/Cali/Mex breakfast foods like huevos rancheros.
Favorites:
- Red Velvet pancakes are a MUST try. They're light, delicately chocolately, and covered with REAL whipped cream- which really makes the dish superb. Pancakes are a normal size, not hujangez like Hash House a Go Go, and are slightly crispy on the outside, and warm and spongy on the inside.
- Bananas Foster pancakes: YES... quite decadent for breakfast, but definitely worth the calories... no wait... I don't want to know how many calories there are in this... Again, the whipped cream really ties the dish together... along with fresh bananas foster.... warm and caramelly. Next time, we'll try the French toast.
- Adobo Fried Rice: My favorite [non pancake] item on the menu so far. Pork adobo is cooked to perfection, and combines well with the rice in a savory- slightly tangy (from adobo vinegar). Next time, I may ask for the rice with the egg done over easy. I enjoyed the fried egg wrap, but I think it may taste better with an egg yolk cracked over the rice.
- Kalua Pig Benedict: Awesome... although, I've done this myself at home with some leftover kalua pig, English muffins, and eggs. Their hollandaise sauce was definitely better, though.
- Loco Moco with garlic fried rice: Pretty typical. I would recommend adding the garlic fried rice for an extra kick, though. Traditional brown gravy, and well prepared hamburger patty made it feel like home. Gravy was a bit saltier than usual though.
*TIP: Go on a weekday if you can. Weekends are just nuts. The boyfriend and I both work from home, so we've been going on Tuesday or Wednesday mornings and usually have no wait for a table.
