It was a Saturday in August and my last day in the USA. We started the day right by going out for a huge breakfast.
I was all packed up and ready to spend my last day eating and relaxing. Since the airlines limited luggage allowance to two pieces at 50 lbs each for international flights and just one piece for US domestic flights I had to be creative. I left Manila with just one ultra light Samsonite hard case luggage.
I left Virginia with two luggages. See that big red bag filled to the max? That’s a Samsonite Tote-A-Ton Duffle Bag which I bought in the outlet on sale for $20. It folds to a small pouch and weighed a pound. I stuffed it with 49 lbs of precious cargo and it survived the trip to Manila without a scratch or rip. It was the best buy ever! I plan to take it with me on all my trips. It definitely looked better than a brown box.
Sidney and his family’s favorite place for good breakfast was Egg ‘N’ Things. Just look at boys’ smiles when they found out where we were going.
This is something you won’t find in Manila or Asia for that matter, a restaurant that opened til 2 pm only. It seems like such a waste of rent if you don’t maximize the hours of a restaurant. Even for a breakfast place.

I wasn’t happy with the weak coffee.
Who ordered this solitary pancake? Why didn’t I get to try it?
Blueberry Pancakes
Heck, it was my last breakfast in the USA and I’ll order what I want to. And I wanted cube steak coated in flour and deep fried just like fried chicken. And yes I wanted it smothered with cream gravy and throw in a biscuit with more gravy please.
Wow-o-wow I made the right decision. The beef was super tender and well seasoned. Even with all the gravy the beef was still crunchy. And it tasted just like fried chicken only better.
In the end all that bravado failed me. I didn’t eat the potatoes, ate only one egg, swept off most of the gravy. I did finish all of the yummy chicken fried steak.

That’s a biscuit??? They should see this and learn what a biscuit should look and taste like.

Both of my cousins had the same taste. They ordered the corned beef hash.

My nephew Kevin said he can finish this giant burrito made with shredded Beef, potatoes, scrambled eggs, cheese, sour cream ‘n’ salsa.
Breakfast Burrito
Young Ryan followed in his older brother’s footsteps and wiped out his plate too.
1 Slice French Toast, 2 Strips of Bacon ‘n’ 1 Egg
These boys were so well behaved. They sat quietly and finished ALL the food on their plates. Burp!
