Quick Hit: Omelette House

Shana and I had plans to eat breakfast with Chayphet the other day and we were searching for something in our area that would provide some decent chow, morning style.  We've done the Original Pancake House and we were looking for another specialty place.  Denny's would not be good enough.

Fortunately for us, yelp.com was ready and able to help us find a little hole-in-the-wall omelette place called, The Omelette House.  I was surprised to find that there weren't many people there (we had no wait at all) and I was a little apprehensive about whether or not the food would be as good as the reviews said.  After scoping out the menu, I was very happy with the prices.  Pancakes were around $5 for a pair, early bird specials starting at as low as $4 and the omelettes were between $6 and $8.  I ordered an Italian omelette and Shana had the chocolate chip pancakes.  She also ordered coffee which is supposed to be very good there, some brand called LavAzza.

When the food arrived, I was very impressed with the portions.  The pancakes were ridiculously huge and my plate was overflowing with my omelette and some of the most delicious hash browns I've had.  They were actually more like country-style potatoes but were very crispy like hash browns.  They did not skimp on meat in my Italian omelette and the sausage was complimented well with the peppers and mushrooms.  Shana's pancakes were also very delicious - they were fluffy with a crisp crust and plenty of chocolate chips in every bite.  The meal ended
 up being a little over $20 for 3 people, definitely worth it considering how full we were
 afterwards.

So if you're looking for a new breakfast spot to try out, I definitely recommend the Omelette House.  Not only is it inexpensive, but the food is delicious and, if this visit is any indication, it is an undiscovered gem for Garden Grove residents.

Cheers!

When I was a Child...

So I've been obsessing over a new song lately because it makes me think of how much "happier" I was when I was child.  No responsibilities, no worries, innocence, etc.

That brings me to James Morrison's, "Once When I Was Little".  He's got a very unique voice and it works well with this mellow acoustic style song.

Enjoy!
