Sweet E’s Cafe

I love breakfast food, don’t you??  That would explain why I have posted breakfast two days in a row.  I really wish McDonald’s would carry breakfast all day long, I bet they would make so much more money.  I’d take their breakfast platters over the other food anytime.  Sweet E’s Cafe is a cute little breakfast/brunch place located in Kapahulu.  It’s a nice place to eat but it is very busy and their parking lot is very very limited.  I had to parallel park on the street which I hate doing but it was well worth the effort!  On to the pictures!

What can I say?  I'm a sucker for runny yolks...this was delicious!  And you can definitely tell the corned beef hash was homemade.

Toast!!  Star of the meal and it was heavenly.  This one is the blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast with fresh fruits.

This meal was a winner all around.  Homemade corned beef hash, how often do you find that in a restaurant?  The stuffed french toast?  I don’t even like french toast and I loved this dish.  I can’t wait to get back here to try more food, I just gotta get out here on a random weekday so it’s not so busy.  Definitely try this place out.

 

 

 

Eggs ‘n Things – Ala Moana

Eggs ‘n Things has been a breakfast institution in Hawai’i for years.  Unfortunately, I never got a chance to try them in Waikiki.  I hate to admit it but it takes a lot for me to try a place if they do not have good parking – I guess I could never make the jump.  They did however open a new location in Ala Moana about 6-7 months ago and I had to give it a try!  I saw that the reviews on Yelp were pretty bad against this place but I still wanted to try it myself!  While my experience wasn’t bad, it definitely was not good.  The prices for this place are expensive for the same portion and quality as other breakfast joints.

Waffle with Strawberry Whip Cream w/ Nuts - $12.75 (!)

Corned Beef Hash ($9.95), nothing special - not worth the price

Sunrise Chicken (?) - the dish was okay, pricey

All in all, it was a pretty lackluster meal.  There were a lot of Japanese tourists around so maybe it is more of a tourist trap.  The food quality was not bad for my visit (although reviewers on Yelp might differ in opinion on their food) – I just don’t think it’s worth the price.
