Golden hash browns with chopped steak, grilled onions, mushrooms and melted cheese. $6
Pine State Biscuits, Portland OR
This was surprisingly bland – salty perhaps but lacking in other flavors. I was a little disappointed! The hash browns were also a bit greasy and the chopped steak was on the tough side. Hmm…
Coffee. $2
I think it’s pretty lame that they charge you three bucks for a few pieces of toasted white bread served with jam. I’d understand the charge if it was amazing-tasting artisanal bread but it wasn’t anything special. $3
Clyde Common, Portland OR
Coffee. $2.50
Deluxe with 2 eggs over medium and potatoes. With side of bacon. $8.95
Hi-Lo’s 15th Street Café, Bremerton WA
I liked this breakfast! The biscuit batter is actually poured into a waffle iron so it’s kind of a trip to eat. You think that it’s supposed to taste like a waffle, but it tasted like a biscuit – really fun! The potatoes could have used more seasoning. The place is pretty cute, the service is friendly, and they have a VW van outside that you can also eat in.

I think that apples in pastries just work perfectly. This danish was pretty tasty and not dry at all. $3.25
Klein’s Deli, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Coffee. $2.25
Vermicelli rice noodles with greens. $8.95
Sunflower Vietnamese Restaurant, San Francisco CA
Ugh, I was not impressed… The chicken was dry and really salty so don’t even think about adding any of the fish sauce – you’ll pass a kidney stone. The imperial rolls were delicious, perhaps on the greasy side. I liked the noodles and the fried scallions, but the chicken was gross.

Served with fish sauce.
Iced Vietnamese coffee. $2.95
I bought this danish because I liked its shape and color. It wasn’t the usual circular danish that you normally find, and it was pretty good. The margins were a bit overdone for my taste though. $3
Reveille Coffee Co., San Francisco CA
Large coffee. $4
Topped with coarse sea salt. $2.50
The Mill, San Francisco CA
This cookies was very tasty. I wish it was a little more chewy, but that’s just personal preference. The sea salt was a great touch!
Coffee. $2.50
The Bay Bridge from the Embarcadero.
Served with roasted new potatoes. $13.50
The Fat Hen, Seattle WA
This was pretty tasty. I loved the roasted potatoes! They were perfectly seasoned and nice and fluffy. The benedict was good too, but not the best I’ve had. I liked that the hollandaise sauce was bright and citrus-y though. The service was friendly but on the slow side.
Drip coffee. $2.25
Seattle Great Wheel.
Illy brand coffee. 120 PHP
Caffe Xpress, Godofredo P. Ramos Airport (MPH)
This airport is TINY, and I guess they done some renovations to actually expand it. I can’t imagine how small it was previously. The downstairs waiting area gets really packed so we chilled upstairs and grabbed coffee. It was sad to be leaving Boracay! But it actually started raining that morning and it was going to be the start of a cold spell so I guess it was the best time to leave anyway. 🙂
Boarding our PAL flight back to Manila.
House made steel cut oats granola, house made yoghurt, summer fruits. $7
Cassava, San Francisco CA
This was pretty tasty, but honestly, there wasn’t enough food! We were SO hungry after having our tiny brunch here that we had to go to get dumplings down the street! I’m not a huge eater, so that says a lot about how small the portions are here. I can definitely eat, but I eat in small portions. Cassava’s portion were even too small for me!
Coffee with cream and brown sugar.
Sidewalk parklet, Valencia corridor.
Served with a sweet rolled wafer cookie. Single scoop 55,000 VND
Caffe Fresco, Ho Chi Minh City VIETNAM
I liked the presentation of this ice cream and that it was served in chilled dish ware. I also liked how they sprinkled a few mini dark chocolate chips on top. I appreciated the details so I didn’t mind paying more than I should have for a single scoop of ice cream.
Single shot iced lattes. Each 59,000 VND
These were ok, but kinda expensive!
Cute “Love” sign in front of the cafe.
Colorful dragon statue, Cong Vien Cuu Long Park, Cholon (Chinatown).
With a complimentary short bread cookie. $4
Espressamente Illy, Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN)
Ugh, the things I will buy to get “free” wifi at an airport, lol! I don’t think I even finished this coffee. I just needed to check something on my phone. #firstworldproblems
