breakfast at one of my favoriteS in orange county, BREAK OF DAWN.
in laguna, closer to aliso viejo. vietnamese owned and influenced gourmet breakfast foods.
everything here is a gastronomic treat.. the dishes are quite heavy- sO come hungry.
cinnamon bun. served on a hot griddle, in cinnamon sauce, with whipped cream atop.
green eggs and ham. poached eggs, potatoes, and pesto. simple and satisfying.
creme brulee french toast. need i say more?
deLiciouS.

Lunch in Los Gatos downtown.
cute homey interiors. no fuss dining.
new england clam chowder with oyster crackers. sO good. creamy, with chewy bits of clams and little bits of potato. this chowder is smoother than some, its definitely not “chunky” style.
the Lobster Roll. huGE chunks of lobster, dipped in butter. i ordered it with tarragon mayo on the side- which i promptly emptied onto my bun after taking a little taste. the brioche is toasted and super soft, which makes the sandwich easy to eat and enjoy the lobster. the slaw, is also pretty good. for $20, this dish is pretty reasonably priced.
definitely a new favorite.
