Alex Eats World

I never had the chance to explore food in south bay but after my experience at Alana’s, maybe I should make some time. Not knowing what to expect, I choose Alana’s based off of, yes Yelp. Guys, this is the perfect brunch date place. It has its own parking lot and from there you walk through a beautiful garden complete with white benches some small waterfalls. You then walk up a porch into a historic building and feel like you’re walked into somebody’s dining room.

All this would be pointless without great food and Alana’s serves up some tasty treats. I got the Alaska Scramble, three eggs tossed with smoked salmon, tender spinach and bits of soft cream cheese. The eggs were silky and the ratio of salmon, spinach and cream cheese were perfection. Bits of salty smoked salmon paired great with the creaminess of the cream cheese and the spinach helped clean your palate after every bite. Added some tabasco to the tasty homefries and it was good to go.

I also got a side of their famous Swedish oatmeal pancakes with ligonberries. If you like oatmeal, this is a good pancake. It is a bit on the thin side but it was moist and had great texture.

A friend ordered the thick-sliced french toast made with housemade raisin focaccia. I was too engrossed in my scramble and the discussion on how to ask a girl out to try a bite but it was very well liked. Definitely get one for the table if you enjoy French toast.

Hope everyone is having a merry christmas!
