what helen eats...

Had a relaxing Sunday brunch at a yuppie hot spot, Empire Cafe. We got here at the height of the lunch hour, this place is packed with the line going out the door. Wow!
The atmosphere is casual and chic with a lot of energy in the air. They've got a huge selection of coffee drinks as well as mouth watering cakes at the counter. Our omelet portion was big with a side of potato and fresh fruit. The meal was served in a timely fashion but our server did have a bit of an attitude. But overall the meal was pleasant.

My latte comes with cookies ^_^




Bella frittata, kind of an Italian omelet.




That peanut butter chocolate cake was even better than it looks.

The meal:
5 toppings Omelet
Bella Frittata
Cafe Latte
Almond Joy (coffee)

Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake

Total: $34.00

So it has been a while since I posted. Trying to settle into a new city and trying out places. Lots of hits and misses but I'm finally comfortable enough to recommend places again.
First on my list this year, Tofu Village Restaurant. Very busy place with Good food at a reasonable price. Only disappointment is that they don't have the table top grill. But I do love their tofu soup, it even comes with rice in stone bowl.

The Meal:
Stir Spicy Pork
Mixed beef & seafood tofu soup
Purple Korean rice
Side dishes (free)
Soda
Mini Yogurt drink (free)

Total: $23.80
