Cafe Maurice

Even if the weather has noticeably gone cooler and we might need north face fleece jackets in the next couple of weeks, it didn’t stop my and my friends from enjoying some cold sweet treats from Cafe Breton.

We usually go to Starbucks for some cake and coffee but the people this time of the year is out of this world crazy (maybe because of the Starbucks planner?) so we decided to go to Cafe Breton instead.

We were not disappointed!

Coffee with whipped cream – oh la la!

French Baker brings back so many nice childhood memories. Whenever there were reasons to celebrate, my parents would take us to French Baker and I’d always have lasagna. I saw the restaurant when I went out by myself a week ago and had to try if they taste the same. Unfortunately, it doesn’t. Their lasagna is not that cheesy and yummy as they used to be, or perhaps my memory of their food was just perfect. You can even say I was addicted to it. It’s a good thing that I didn’t need to go to a malibu rehab treatment center!

They serve Chinese food – but their food is not the typical Chinese fare. The restaurant is surprisingly full all the time, and cashiers are ringing all the time (Im sure they follow the ach rules too).

My mom ate so much fatty foods that I am sure she needed to check her cholesterol the following day.

Here are some of the yummy food we were able to taste. My grandmother celebrated her 86th birthday there.

I was pretty excited to discover Deal Grocer offered deals from Antonio’s because 1) I have heard raves about this place but was scared it was out of our budget and 2) Its location is close to our house. I snatched up a couple of coupons intending to treat my parents as well. It was a good thing my camera didn’t need rechargeable aaa batteries as I was able to take pictures of the heavenly food.

Antonio’s is not all hype – that much I can tell. I am even willing to pay full price for it the next time we eat there.

I have failed to blog about our recent eating escapades. I was caught in making birth announcements for clients and then life got busier with trips and sickies in the house. Thanks to group-buying sites, we finally get to try some known restaurants at a fraction of what it would normally cost us.

I got this deal from Deal Grocer, getting it based from feedback from friends. Since the husband and I love steaks, I figured it was worth a try. We weren’t disappointed!

We had salad first:

And then came the steak – oh my – best steak evar!
