Porto's

We went to Porto's bakery shop after the brunch. i randomly heard this shop from others and did some research online. there are over 1,000 reviews on yelp which makes me want to check out this place! since it's close by where we are, so i must stop by the place and get some pastries. I was surprised by the long line when i get there. it's a lot bigger and a lot more people than i expect! but the line moved pretty fast and the service was really nice!

i got some of their popular pastry include potato balls, guava & cheese rolls, meat pies, and red velvet cupcake. Compare their red velvet cake with Sprinkle, it more of home made style and it's not too sweet as Sprinkle did. Porto's get a lot of pastry and cakes and all are pretty cheap. i wish i would have got more!! i think i'll try their mango mousse & opera cake next time when i am around the area again.

Castaway Brunch

i made another trip to castaways again! this time i am here for their brunch. I always heard their brunch is good and it actually did impressed me!! their brunch is much better than i thought and it's definitely worth the drive! I was surprised when i walked in the lobby b/c i saw the chocolate fondue with full of desserts!!! all the cakes look cute and it's unlimited fondue that you can dip it yourself. since we made reservation, we were sited in 10 min. I wish we had requested to sit at the balcony b/c the weather was really good on that day... they get huge selection on the hot food and sea food include roast beef, lamb, sushi, omelet, pasta, waffle, and king crab leg. i can't believe they also get osso bucco as one of their hot food!! it usually pretty costly when order off the menu. the king crab leg is a bit icy, but i still had a lot b/c it's still good. they also get flaming banana ice cream that's made to order!! i think everybody had this dessert and all love it!
4.5 ★★★★ for the food
$$ 30 per person include tax&tips
after eating, we went outside to take some pictures. the morning view is not much different than at night. since i think Castaway is pretty far away from the city, i think there's not much to see on the hill. but i would really recommend to have brunch here rather than dinner b/c their brunch is so much better than their dinner menu.

Castaway

we decide to celebrate valentine's day at castaway restaurant in Burbank. It was pretty far to drive all the way up there, but since both of us never been there, we want to give a try and see how it's like. the ambiance and the service are nice. i requested a window seat which are quite nice and we can see a bit of downtown far away. 4 ★★★★ for the service and ambiance
3 ★★★ for the food
$$ 30~50
i ordered seafood collage, pasta with white wine sauce. i like it, but it's not the best. the amount of seafood was decent, but the taste is just okay. i think i love orange hill better, food + nightview! but overall I enjoyed my night with babe~ to me, everyday is valentine's day when i am with you! ♥
