[Restaurants] Prolific Oven @ Milpitas, CA, U.S.

It was a perfect day for a nice cup of tea and brunch. Enjoying the breeze in our hair and basking in the sun we drove down to our local semi-high end plaza and decided to get our food at The Prolific Oven.

The Prolific Oven is a local breakfast restaurant famous for its sandwiches and panini, hence the 'Oven' in its name. Desiring something light, yet packed with enough energy to get us going, we ordered a meal high in protein and carbs while still having an abundance of vegetables.

Didi ordered Veggie Scramble with a sliced sourdough bread. Being an egg addict, if didi is allowed to, he will have eggs in every meal he eats. So its a natural choice for him to choose something like scrambled eggs for breakfast.

[Restaurants] Five Guys @ Sunnyvale, CA, U.S.

Hailing from the city of Arlington, Virginia, Five Guys has consistently received rave reviews for its burgers and fries. For some reason, maybe because we are located on the west coast, the arrival of this relatively young burger chain almost feel like the twin-version of the extremely successful In-n-out burger chain.

With recent expansion of its operation to the west coast, we decided to give it a try!

First came into view was the big standard red fonts...very inspiring...haha

There was already a huge crowd inside the restaurant. We ordered Veggie sandwich and Cheese veggie sandwich. At that point, there was a major difference comparing to other burger store – which is you get to pick your toppings! “ALL THE WAY” means getting all the toppings in black, and you can add even more toppings such as relish, jalapeno, A-1 sauce, BBQ sauce, etc. all for free. 

In addition, we also got the Cajun style fries to go with our burgers. The Cajun fries are topped with special spices to enhance the flavor (rather than standard french fries).

While waiting for our orders, we noticed an interesting feature of the store, that Five Guys offers complimentary roasted peanuts! It almost feels like getting free side dishes to our entree.
