Memorial Day weekend out
It's the long weekend as Monday is a public holiday in USA - Memorial Day. This morning, we decided to have go out and have breakfast instead. So i chose Brown bag cafe based on online reviews.
The place was nice, cozy and country-style. When the pretty waitress served us the maple syrup, we were thinking, "Hmm.. This place is very generous with the syrup." A side note to all: Derrick loves pancake with a lot of syrup..
We finally knew the reason why, so much syrup was given, when the food came. The portions were HUGEEeeeee.. Derrick ordered the "Big Mike" which came in 2 big plates as shown above. It comprises of 2 super huge and thick pancake (1cm thick), lots of hashbrown, eggs and bacon. Interestingly, it wasn't oily and the pancakes were thick and fluffy..
I am amazed by the sheer size and thickness of the pancakes, as i have tried making them before. And they really need super-low-even heat to cook without burning. On top of which, it's difficult to cook it through with a thick pancake.
For me, I ordered the "Light fare combo" and i must say, it's definitely too huge for me. Derrick did managed to finish 80-90% of his pancake.. Amazing.... So i hereby crown him the pancake king. As for the other food, we packed them home as we couldn't finish. It was an expensive breakfast at $25 but it wasn't too ex considering that we gave lunch a miss later..

We met up with Junyong & wife and headed to the Premium Outlets for shopping. It's the Memorial day sale and they have extra discounts at the factory outlets. There's Coach, levis, Sony, etc.. Yeah.. time for me to buy my super cheap levi's jeans at $25 each. =)
It's my best buy in USA. Can you imagine paying more than $100 for a pair of levi's jeans in Singapore? When it only cost $25 at the USA Factory Outlets.. Later on, we bought quite a bit of stuff at the Walmart too and filled Junyong's car to the brim. The 2 were super shocked at the amount of things we bought at Walmart. Well, now that i'm working, we have lesser time to make the "pilgrimage" trip to Walmart. With this in mind, we bought the things in bigger quantity such as 5 big boxes of cereals. =P
No prize for guessing who's having which cereals. =P
