Brunch w/ Lola Roma

Auntie Roma wanted to take us out for brunch since she didn't work today. She took us out to this brunch spot, Si Bon, that's known for their Belgium waffles.

Of course, the place was jam packed with a buncha retired folk. Haha. So crazy how Palm Springs has a completely different crowd than we're used to. At least you can almost guarantee a peaceful atmosphere!

For brunch J ordered Mango stuffed Belgium Waffles topped w/ Custard and Berries.

I ordered the Eggs Benedict that's served on Twin Waffles and house fries. There were 4 styles to choose from and I ended up picking the Dungeness Crab Cakes.

Auntie Roma got the same as me, but she had the waffles on the side as well as the hollandaise.

For Zoë, we ordered her a 6 Stack of Dollar Pancakes. They're basically dollar coin sized pancakes, but not stacked. They were laid across a plate for her.

We weren't impressed with the Mango Stuffed Belgium Waffles. First off, they weren't mango stuffed. There was mango on top. Second, the waffle was like brick toast. Super hard and extra toasty on the edges. Sorry, but Belgium waffles are supposed to be thick, soft and fluffy. The Eggs Benedict though, on point! I could eat that all day erry day. The crab cakes had good chunks of crab mixed in and that hollandaise sauce was so finger-licking delicious. Zoë loved her pancakes as she practically ate each and every one! Aside from the failed Belgium waffles, everything was delicious.

They even passed around this herbal juice drink that we got to try. I think it was something like grapefruit, OJ and some herb. Thyme? Basil? I forget.

They were served in tiny tall shot glasses that were worthy of a fun brunch toast!

Our trip out here was super fun! Now, the dreaded hot and long drive home.
