Royal China

Fried Tofu Skin Stuffed with Pork & Crab

By far, this was the favorite of the day.  Piping hot and straight out of the kitchen, these were incredible.  The touch of fresh green accented the pork and crab in the best possible way.

Hazelnut-Crusted French Toast

With Roasted Bananas, Maple Syrup & Spiced Butter

The General Muir -- Pastry Basket

The TGM Pastry Basket

Our basket was overflowing.

When we say overflowing, we mean seriously overflowing.

Even after removing the warm slice of chocolate babka, the basket was overstuffed.  Any one of these pastries could easily have been a meal for a [...]

The General Muir Bagels Vs ...

The General Muir Poppy Bagel

Pros:

Crazy good all-around delicious artisan bagel, great mature flavor to the dough, thick and crackly crisp, yet chewy crust that makes the most satisfying crunch when you slice the bagel.  And, there seems to be a decent amount of fat to round out [...]

BB's Bagels

The Ultimate Benny at BB’s Bagels

Eggs Benedict

The Olde Kitchen

Banana Walnut Waffles & Two Boneless Fried Chicken Breasts

The exterior of the waffles offer just a touch of crunch with a softy, fluffy and dense (in a good way) interior.  The richness of the walnuts and sweet bananas in the batter add to the flavor of a very cake-like [...]
