Munchie Adventure: BCIT Campus Cafe SE12 Featuring Tim Hortons, Burnaby

After a rather long and boring library orientation (it did have some useful info but not a lot), I was FAMISHED. A friend once told me about the all-day breakfast offered at the Campus Cafe grill, so I went to try!

I ordered from their breakfast menu (I forgot the name already.. but it's the only option with pancakes), and the girl working there was pretty friendly. In my phobia (so much norwalk around nowadays, can't afford to get sick!), I got scrambled eggs, and chose the sausages-- didn't look like they had ham and the bacon looked... weird.

It came in a BIG box, and I was quite happy with that, since it cost me around $6.50. The hashbrowns were very yummy, so crispy on the outside and the potato inside was fluffy and moist. Sausages and eggs were your average breakfast sausages and scrambled eggs, nothing special. I liked their pancakes, it was very fluffy and chewy. It also didn't give me that rough "after feel" in my mouth that I usually get from pancakes (probably from the baking soda). She was very nice and gave us containers for the syrup too, so we didn't have to have sweet everything =P

Not sure why its rated so low, cuz I enjoyed my food and would come back again-- or maybe I just posted this under the wrong campus cafe? Just a clarification, this is the grill area right beside Tim Hortons in SE 12 at the Burnaby BCIT Campus ^-^

Munchie Adventure: Perkins Restaurant and Bakery, Kelowna

Kelowna trip!! Before we headed back to Vancouver, we dropped by for a nice breakfast, suggestion made by my dad. When we got inside, we were greeted with a warm smile and a homey old-fashioned restaurant that made me feel good about it already. There were many choices for breakfast, which made the decision hard, plus the fact that it  was pretty early in the morning, and a restless night =P

We had a lot of time to decide, but I think most of the things we ordered were from a special menu, since I can't seem to find them on the website menu =( But anyways, here's the Omelette Denver ($8.79). I liked the cubed potatoes, they were crispy on the outside and so fluffy soft on the inside. SO GOOD. The omelette wasn't anything special.

It also came with pancakes which came with a ball of butter x.x I scraped it off quickly, and decided it was for the better. They were fluffy and good!

Now this, I really can't find on the menu anymore. It's a special, they only serve it in limited quantities! The Brioche toast with Strawberry Jam ($9.99), it was special toast, and was pretty sweet. The texture of the bread was more chewy than normal toast. The presentation itself made it worth the extra money =) Hash browns were shredded, not as good as the cubed version.

We also ordered a French Toast Combo ($5.99), and it was pretty good. I liked the eggs, they were scrambled well =) Sausage links were a bit oily, but I guess that's just normal. They had marmalade, blueberry jam, and syrup for us in little jars, which was adorable and a great idea, since we could choose what to put on!

I think coffee is complimentary, but we ordered hot water-- which tasted a bit like coffee =( I like this place, but for the price, I'm not sure if I'll do it again. I mean, quality is there, and service is great too, but I know of better deals =P
