Lydia, awesome review once again!
Well, since my dear fellow food chick reviewed her spring break, I will review my food experiences as well:
If you ever find yourself in Huntington Beach, a.k.a. Surf City, you must eat at Sugar Shack . This charming, surfer and family-friendly place is located on Main Street and PCH. You will find a long waiting list in the morning, as breakfast is served there all day. They have outdoor and indoor seating, allowing customers to stroll in with their flip flops, sunglasses, and be among some of southern california's finest beach bums. I had the raisin french toast with a site of scrambled egg whites, and an iced tea. The french toast was delicious! Perfectly battered and cooked to a slight crisp, covered in powdered sugar and served with a side of butter. The egg whites had some flecks of yolk, however, but I'm not anal enough to freak out over that. My friend Andrew had the avocado and cheese omelette with a side of hashbrowns. The avocado melts so beautifully into the omelette. Each meal only set us back about $5.50. Affordable AND delicious! Try it out for yourself! The servers are young and friendly, and the place is just a few steps from the beautiful beach! Eat and then study on the beach as I did (hey we're berkeley nerds here AND everywhere else).
Also over break, I was so thankful that I was able to introduce my dad to the Benihana Sushi Bar. At lunch, they have special discount prices ($1 for california roll/ spicy tuna; $1.75 for shrimp tempura handroll - my favorite- $1.75 for sashimi). They have daily specials for $1 as well. The fact that you can just take as much as you want on the floating conveyer belt adds to the fun of eating sushi. The chefs are attentive to your needs and are always willing to take special orders. My cousin and I once ordered the Las Vegas Roll (off the menu, of course). This roll is sooooo good. It is tuna, crab, and shrimp tempura in rice and nori, the whole roll is then battered and deep fried tempura style. The chef then slices the roll and tops it off with this tantalizing spicy sauce. The tuna gets slightly cooked, and the crunch just adds this crazy dimension to the roll. This roll will set you back about $7, even at lunch time, but it's enough to share between two people. Lunch at the sushi bar (a filling and quality lunch at that) will not set you back any more than $10. As for sushi, that's a bargain! Try it out for yourself!!
'til the next culinary journey,
