Opera Patisseries Fines-part one, breakfast

April 30, 2010 Cathy Breakfast/Brunch, What Cathy Eats!

Part Two can be found here

mmm-yoso!!! is the food blog. The writings are contributed by Kirk, ed (from Yuma), Cathy, Vicky L and a few others. We just take photos of what we eat and then write about it…an unusual hobby. Today, Cathy is writing. Everyone else is eating…Kirk is eating the most interesting food of all. He is on vacation. In a foreign country. Where they eat animals we would not consider eating. Prepared in a manner we would consider using.

The other Saturday morning The Mister and I found ourselves in the Sorrento Valley area, hungry.
Opera is in a food court mall, with about 6 other restaurants. This area is way crowded during the week, since people working at the surrounding offices apparently like to eat. Especially at the lunch hour. It is on Scranton Road, just off Mira Mesa Boulevard, East of the 805.
You walk in, order and pay, find a seat, put your number in that metal number holder thingy and soon, your coffee ($1.65) (if you ordered coffee-there are a variety of espresso drinks and teas as well as a soda fountain available) is delivered to your table.
Since it was early and breakfast time, The Mister chose the French Toast ($7.50).
Two slices of a *wonderful* brioche, dipped in a vanilla egg batter and fried perfectly lightly, placed on a raspberry sauce and served with warm maple syrup. Just a lightly crisp exterior, soft, not mushy bread interior. The serving size of two thick slices is quite large.
Trying to appear to be healthy (Hello Dr. B!), I ordered an egg white omelette ($8.95) which comes with a choice of three fillings (I chose mushrooms, tomatoes and asparagus) (other items to choose from are ham, Cheddar, Swiss, bacon, onion and peppers) and is served with a choice of a fruit cup or salad and also the Yukon Gold potatoes seen here.
I must confess, I did not expect much at all, but this was the *most* wonderful egg white omelet, perfectly made. Crispy exterior and fluffly light interior. Just like the French Toast. The vegetables had been sauteed and were so fresh and flavorful. The fruit salad was all ripe, good fruit. The potatoes were thick sliced sauteed to a light crispiness and yet were still soft. The Yukon Gold flavor was there.

Opera is known best for its pastries and sweets and baking as well as the crepes, quiches, croissant sandwiches and salads which are made to order and which make each meal an event.

Breakfast is served Mon-Fri from 7:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. and again from 1:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m. and all day on Saturday. The lunch post is coming soon. Featuring pastries!

Vine Ripe Market (and the adjoining restaurant)- La Mesa

April 28, 2010 Cathy Markets & Grocers, Mediterranean Restaurants, What Cathy Eats!

Since this post, the adjoining restaurant has changed. I'll link to it once I have something to say.

Hello and welcome back to mmm-yoso!!!, the food blog written by Kirk, ed(from Yuma), VickyL and Cathy. Kirk is still on vacation. ed (from Yuma) is in Yuma. VickyL is in Northern California and cathy is in East San Diego County, blogging today.

Hello again. Vine Ripe Market was around a few years ago, then closed, then opened again in January 2010. I wrote a post about it back in 2006, when Kirk went on his Hawaii vacation. (It was my 5th post. Ever.)
It seems to be a bit cleaner than before, and the bakery, meat, produce, regular aisles, freezer and deli sections are filled with wonderful well priced items.
All Halal meats.
Household items and accessories are sold here also.

Inside there are steam trays with hot food, sandwiches can be made to order or you can go out front and to the Fletcher Parkway side of the building is the restaurant. (I have never seen a name for the restaurant, not even on the menu..)

We started with a Turkish coffee ($2)on this chilly day (all the seating is outdoors).

The Mister ordered the Ghorme Sabzi-Vegetable stew ($9.99) a baby lamb shank cooked with red beans, lime ad fresh herbs. The meat was tender and flavorful as was the accompanying stew. Really good.
I ordered a chicken Shawerma sandwich ($5.99) served on a warm pita bread. Juicy marinated very flavorful chicken cut from the spit then grilled with lettuce, green pepper and onion in the bread. This is served with salad and house made hummus. A nice olive oil with vinegar and herbs dressing is served also.
On another day, we ordered hot tea…
We decided on a Greek side salad ($4.99)to go with the sandwiches we ordered. Lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion olives, feta and the same house dressing…
A falafel sandwich ($4.99) was OK good. After having the falafel at Mystic Grill , I am spoiled. These were fresh and kind of fried a bit too long. The flavor of the falafel were good. The sandwich had lettuce, tomato, cucumber and onion and a fresh home made (yogurt based) sauce.
My sandwich came wrapped in flatbread…looking like this from the outside.
and was filled with charbroiled boneless chicken. Not Shawerma/marinated, but juicy and good flavored. It must be Halal chicken.
As I said, the prices here are great.
Stop by if you are in the area. Great market, great restaurant.

Yoshinoya- chain food. Good chain food.

April 27, 2010 Cathy Japanese Restaurants, What Cathy Eats!

Yoshinoya has closed. It's Boba Time took this storefront space.

Just a blog about food we (Kirk, ed(from Yuma), Cathy, VickyL and a few others) eat. That's what mmm-yoso!!! is. Not "fancy" foods, healthy foods or anything specific. You get to peek inside our eating habits and live vicariously. Today, Cathy is blogging.

Hi. Kirk is still on vacation. It's only been a week. Today I'm talking about a quick lunch at a fast food place.
This Kearney Mesa location of Yoshinoya has been in this mall on Convoy, across from the Weinerschnitzel for at least ten years. The interior is clean and reminds me of Burger King or McDonald's… I hesitated to categorize this as "Japanese" food. Yoshinoya basically markets itself as "you won't leave here hungry". The food here is inexpensive and for being food, is really not bad. Most people seem to order the teriyaki bowls (beef, chicken or steak, in combination and/or with vegetables on top of sticky rice).

Including the ordering area.
As well as the seating area.
However, the condiments offered are different…hot (ish) red pepper and very pickled ginger (and soy sauce).
Then there is the food. Some people complain that the usually ordered bowls are doused in teriyaki sauce, and I tend to agree, and order the sauce on the side or 'not as much sauce, please'. Or I get this: a BBQ combo bowl ($6.25). Grilled, skinless teriyaki chicken and thin sliced grilled teriyaki beef short ribs. With fried rice, salad and noodles.

All the items are not salty and not over-sauced. The rice is good, freshly fried, with some (probably) frozen vegetables and egg added. The stir fried noodles are pretty good with cabbage and carrots added. The salad comes with a packet of Italian dressing and is pretty standard.

Sometimes, I want fried and get the large order (9) of sesame chicken wings ($3.79). Nicely fried, not greasy, topped with sesame seeds, juicy meaty and good. This day , I decided to get a side of vegetables ($1.49). This is *not* a weird, badly lit photograph. The vegetables here are what I like to call 'neon veggies'. Broccoli, carrots, cauliflower and some bok choy in this wonderful colored, not salty, thick neon yellow-green sauce. I like it and at least like to think it is a healthy meal…

Garden Fresh Grill and Smoothie. Garlic for breakfast…

April 25, 2010 Cathy Lebanese Restaurants, Mediterranean Restaurants, What Cathy Eats!

Welcome back to mmm-yoso!!! the food blog written by Kirk and occasionally ed(from Yuma), VickyL, Cathy and a few others. Kirk is on vacation and today Cathy is writing.

The other day, I was on College Avenue at El Cajon Boulevard and drove into the Vons parking lot. I remembered a bagel place that used to be here, years ago and saw this instead.

Curious as I am about food, I walked up, asked some questions, grabbed a paper menu saw they serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, smoothies and fruit bowls. They serve halal meat, no alcohol. The families who own and run this very clean establishment are Lebanese.

The Mister and I first went on a Saturday afternoon. Three people were waiting for "To Go" orders, Two tables were filled with people eating, there was one couple in front of us. We ordered, paid and sat down.

We decided to try a cheese & zaatar pie ($2.99). Dough is made in house then baked in the wood fired oven (to the right, behind the pastry case above) the fresh bread dough is topped with a blend of 'premium cheeses', sesame seed and zaatar (oregano, sesame seed, olive oil and herbs) A nice blend of seasonings and quite a bit of cheese on this small (8 inch) pie. You can get a Zaatar pie for $1.99 if you don't want cheese.

The Mister ordered a beef gyros salad ($8.99) (the menu has chicken gyros as an option). The Mediterranean salad – lettuce, tomato, cucumber, pickled onion, parsley and mint topped with garlic, lemon juice and olive oil (house) dressing. Topped with sliced grilled beef gyros (moist/slightly greasy in a good way). This was a large, plentiful, fresh and tasty salad.

I ordered the "Combo 3"($8.99)- an assortment of house made hummus, tabouli, falafel and spanakopita. House made everything.: The falafel was made of fresh chickpeas (not the powdered mix) and were light, airy, tender and just crispy on the outside. The spanakopita was crispy (not soggy on the bottom) and filled with Feta cheese as well as spinach and onions. The tabouli was very fresh parsley and bulghur, feta, onions and lemon juice. The hummus was excellent. All were done quite well. The Mister and I shared a cup of Turkish coffee ($1.99).

We went back for breakfast.

First, we ordered a small bowl of fresh fruit ($4.49), cut up just for us (which is the same as when a smoothie or fruit juice is ordered-fresh fruit that is available, not frozen fruit). Banana, apple, pineapple, cantaloupe, papaya and strawberries. Very fresh, flavorful fruit.

This was made on the other side of the cash register, where most people were walking in to get their morning smoothies.

The Mister tried the scrambled eggs with chicken schawarma ($6.99). There was more meat than egg. Simple, flavorful, moist. We figured two eggs were used.

We got a plate of pickles.

Along with four pieces of fresh baked, hot bread. These are small, maybe 4 inches, but thick and fluffy and soft. I believe it is the same bread used for the zaatar pie, above, just not as flattened/thin.

The pickles and bread accompanied my most wonderful hot breakfast of Foul Mudammas ($5.99) A 30 year old family recipe of warm, cooked fava beans, mashed then mixed with fresh garlic and lemon juice, topped with olive oil.

All cultures have some sort of warm breakfast, usually a grain like oats or bulghur or rice that is a usually made into a sort of porridge. Items have to be added in for flavor- salt, butter, brown sugar or fruit. The fava beans and garlic with lemon juice is by far my most favorite. Garlic for breakfast. Nothing needs to be added to this bowl of goodness. Yay!

Coffee is free with any breakfast order. It is a good dark roast of coffee. The food here is wonderfully fresh. Everyone has been very nice to us every time we have had a meal here, answering questions and asking how we like the food. I plan on stopping by whenever I am in this part of town.

One New Year Resolution Kept- Wednesdays at the Santee Farmers Market

April 23, 2010 Cathy Farmer's Markets/Night Market, What Cathy Eats!

mmm-yoso!!! is a blog, written by a few friends, about meals or foods in general they enjoy. Today, Cathy is writing, because the others aren't. Some of us are on vacation…

Hi. The County of San Diego Farm Bureau lists 47 different Farmers Markets within the County of San Diego. There is one happening somewhere every day of the week, (even on Monday there is one, at the Welk Village in Escondido). Here is a link to Kirk's (2007) post about the Sunday Hillcrest Farmers Market, which has within it a link to his other (2005) post and this stop at the Little Italy Farmers Market where he was last month.

Since I live in Santee, I definitely show up at "mine" most often, although I have made it a point to shop at at least on Farmer's Market a week for the last year, as part of my 2009 New Year Resolution. So, I tend to stop when I see one is happening somewhere I happen to be driving. Many of the vendors move from one to the other (hence, Monday is almost day off for some) and some vendors are "Uni"que.
When you park in the abandoned school parking lot in Santee (that's what they call it-the school was razed years ago) and walk toward the market, you see the craft vendors first.
You can see there were only a few Fruit and Vegetable vendors set up on this Wednesday.
The mostly locally grown produce is cut up so you can sample it, at most of the vendor booths.
When my garden's tomatoes have stopped producing, I can still get some nice ones here.
Sometimes I crave radishes, and these white ones were excellent.
As were these baby squash.
Some with blossoms. (All the baby squash and blossomed squash were $5/lb; we had a delightful meal of cheese stuffed fried blossoms a few weeks ago).
This past Wednesday it was raining and not as many vendors were set up. Citrus is in season. (The funny looking oranges on the left are Italian Blood Oranges).
So are English peas, which The Mister and I eat straight from the shell, raw.

There are several food vendors here usually- tamales, hummus, fresh breads, honey, jams and a few others. But that area (East end) is not as popular as at other (weekend) Farmers Markets.

If you are driving by and see a Farmers Market, do stop. You never know what you may find…

Hot, Cold, Wet & Hungry- Shrimp Cocktail and Birria de Chivo at Palominos

April 22, 2010 Cathy Taco Shops, What Cathy Eats!

Thanks for visiting the mmm-yoso!!! food blog. The part usually played by Kirk is being played by Cathy today. Because Kirk and His Missus are on vacation. In a faraway land.

Hi. Boy, have we had an odd weather year. Here it is April and we had cold winds and rain intersperse with some sun all day yesterday. The Mister was going to be working late, I was hungry and didn't want to cook, so we met at Palominos. Again.
Of course we could not decide on what to eat and while perusing the menu, saw a new addition in the soup category- Birria de Chivo- Goat … soup. Usually, this is more of a stew, but the goat factor was there, so I ordered it.
Soon, the fairly large bowl of meat and broth (I could taste ancho chilis, oregano, cumin, thyme and cinnamon) was brought out, with the appropriate sides of corn tortillas as well as onion, cilantro, lime wedges and red pepper flakes.
It looked like a lot of meat in the bowl of broth…and this is how much broth was in the bowl.
The rest was meat. A nice, gamey, fatty, flavorful goat. Which had been simmered for a long while, with meat falling off the bones. A rich, deep broth and rich, flavorful meat. For $6.49, one of the heartiest and heart warming soups we have had here.
When ordering, I decided to contrast the warm and meat with cool and seafood, so a shrimp coctele ($9.99) was in order. There were 30 shrimp in this large serving glass, with lime and tomato juice, cucumber and some onion. The fresh flavors of this 'broth' as well as the pretty large flavorful shrimp were a nice contrast and compliment to the fatty rich soup broth. It was a nice break for both of us. But I had to drive home in this…
and figured the traffic on the freeway would be backed up, so drove around the corners to Starbucks, pulled the old computer out of my car
and had a grande chai latte, no water, with The Mister before he headed back to work and I headed home. I hope everyone had a warm evening and safe driving.

Point Loma Seafoods- a revisit

April 21, 2010 Cathy Seafood, What Cathy Eats!

mmm-yoso!!!, the blog you are perusing, is musings about food consumed or prepared by one of us- Kirk, ed(from Yuma), Cathy or some other friends. Today, Cathy is musing. Because, Kirk and His Missus are on vacation.

Hi. I've been to Point Loma Seafoods countless times. I've only posted once on it, though, years ago, so it is time to show you it pretty much has not changed. It has been in San Diego since 1963. A landmark, selling and serving fresh and smoked fish. You walk in and the seafood counter and menu is straight ahead of you. You have to just step forward to order. When one of the many order takers asks "who's ready?"

Place your order, get a number and wait. Once your number is called, you pay and take your food (it is on a tray), walk out and can sit out front or in the covered area, next door.
You can order a shrimp cocktail or a smoked fish cocktail ($4.18 and it is not even 1/2 a pound of fish), or do what I do and just get a few pieces of smoked fish- the condiments in the eating area include cocktail sauce. I order the smoked fish after I have placed my food order, since the food takes some time to cook…and by cook, I mean fry. There are seafood salads served here, the tuna sandwich is made with fresh cooked (still warm) albacore and I think that is all …oh there is sushi…but otherwise, pretty much everything here is fried. The people running the fryer know what they are doing.

The Mister ordered a squid sandwich-solid squid cut in rectangular logs, breaded and lightly fried, and served between two slices of very fresh, soft, sourdough bread. ($8.32)
Topped with some fresh tartar sauce, it is a wonderful lunch.

We shared a cup of white clam chowder and an iced coffee, with milk.
The chowder ($3.26)is creamy rich and has a good, fresh clam flavor, as well as carrots, celery and potatoes. It is one item we always order. I got my usual fish and chips plate ($11.13)- the fresh fish most abundant that day (usually haddock, maybe cod- a firm, white fish) 3 or 4 pieces lightly breaded and fried nicely and served with crispy fries and a wonderful house made cole slaw, lightly dressed with mayonnaise.
The only caveat- when you do walk next door to take a seat, remember to get a good view…

Point Loma Seafoods 2805 Emerson Street San Diego 92106 (619)223-1109 Open M-Sat 9 a.m.-6:30 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m.-6:30 p.m.

Okawa Steak House and Sushi- Santee

March 21, 2010 Cathy Japanese Restaurants, What Cathy Eats!

mmm-yoso!!! is the name of the food blog you are reading. A few friends contribute and write about what we eat. Cathy is writing today. The others (Kirk, ed (from Yuma), Vicky and a few others) are apparently eating.

Hi. It was lunchtime, The Mister and I were hungry, Okawa has opened. In Santee.

It is located in the same mall as Best Buy, behind the Burger King and technically is on the same (large) block where Costco and Home Depot are located, but on Mission Gorge Road…the South side of the block.

We were greeted promptly and a friendly Young Man asked if we wanted to sit at the Sushi Bar, a regular table or the Teppanyaki Table for Hibachi.
The sushi bar did look inviting, but I was not in a mood for that today. So we sat at the teppanyaki table, with a group of four others, ordered hot tea and checked out the menu.

We ordered, and soon salad and mushroom topped miso soup were brought out. The miso was definitely not made from that miso paste or powder and had a light, crisp flavor. The mushroom flavor was only in the mushroom, not the broth. The salad dressing was the fresh tasting almost pureed ginger dressing which is served at most Japanese places. This one seemed to have a touch of soy/saltiness to it. (In a good way saltiness). Soon our chef came out with a cart of enough rice for frying, vegetables for all six of us, and the proteins ordered as well as the sauces and other condiments necessary for each protein.

He proceeded to pour two sauces for each of us- a ginger based one and a mayonnaise based one. Those who had ordered steamed rice had that served to us.

Then the show began.

Rice, for those who had ordered fried rice, and already chopped vegetables for everyone were placed onto the oiled grill. (When The Mister and I got married, XXX number of years ago, our reception was at Kyoto, a teppanyaki restaurant in Dearborn, Michigan and everything was the same, except the veggies there came whole and the "show" took a lot longer to chop up everything…and the prices at lunch were a less…probably because it was XXX years ago).

The onion rings were taken apart, stacked, a bit of oil inserted and small volcano-like effects happened.

The rice was fried, with an egg, (which disappeared, whole, into the hat of the chef for a while) and then the crispier rice and veggies formed to spell out "I (heart) U"…upside down and backwards… and then those were served.

The proteins were placed onto the grill (two orders of Banzai chicken, a split order of Samurai steak and Hibachi shrimp-you can combine on the lunch specials), Samurai steak, and Chilean sea bass.

The Mister's order of Samurai steak (medium rare), fried rice ($1.95 extra, but *so* crisp and tasty-a nutty flavor, probably because of the sesame oil…and butter) and some of his vegetables ($10.95).

My Hibachi Chilean sea bass (with a teriyaki sauce, some vegetables )(I got the extra onions from The Mister, and from Our Chef) and steamed rice ($11.95). The sea bass was tender, moist, flaky and had just enough flavor (not overpowered by the house made teriyaki).
…Our talented and amusing Chef.

An excellent meal that was a lot of fun to watch being prepared. Total bill was $29.20-the hot green tea was $1 each and kept refilled, as were the other beverages at the table. Not an inexpensive lunch, but an excellent, fun lunch.

Harvest Ranch Market and another Pastrami Sandwich

March 19, 2010 Cathy Markets & Grocers, Sandwiches, What Cathy Eats!

mmm-yoso!!! is the food blog, written by a few friends. Today, Cathy has written a short post. Kirk and ed (from Yuma) and Vicky are reading. Or something.

The other day, I was out in El Cajon near where Second Street turns into Jamacha Road and decided to stop into what has been an old favorite place to shop.
It wasn't crowded around 1 p.m. so I decided to continue my pursuit of a great pastrami sandwich, for FOY (Friend of Yoso), "H" and dropped in. It's a fancy market, with a few branches around town (including Jonathan's in La Jolla) with Boars Head meats and condiments
as well as all the other items you'd see in a grocery store.
A fancy grocery store anyhow…the wine selection is awesome and they have wine tasting events here pretty regularly (sign up inside the store to be notified). I don't take photos of people, so that is why I don't have too many photos inside the store.
But here's a nicely blurred photo of the Produce area, where I picked up a d'Anjou pear for my dessert ($1.49/lb). Then I paid and walked over to the Starbucks in the same mall.

A full sandwich is $6.99 (half sandwiches are $3.50) and includes cheese, choice of bread, lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo and mustard. I got pastrami and kraut, warmed, with mustard on rye, no cheese. The bread was soft and flavorful and a seeded rye. The meat was not fatty but wonderfully smoky in flavor. A quality pastrami, plenty of it. The kraut was nice and crispy. The pear cost 70 cents, so my whole meal was $7.69 plus $1.50 for the fresh, individually brewed with a drip filter and freshly ground beans coffee at Starbucks (I did not want the Pike's Place brew and asked for the Bold of the day, which is Italian this week and the nice Young Man behind the counter ground some beans, poured hot water into a little gizmo over the coffee cup and made me a nice, fresh, hot cup of coffee at the regular price). It was a great meal, just on the edge of too much food.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

It’s Burger Week (Again) Weevil Burger- in La Mesa

February 21, 2010 Cathy Burgers, What Cathy Eats!

mmm-yoso!!! is the food blog you are reading and this time it's Cathy posting about a wonderful burger she enjoys regularly.

Hi. If you've been around San Diego for a while, you remember Boll Weevil, the burger/bar place where pool tables abounded. Most of the locations closed a few years ago (the Boll Weevil location on Clairmont Mesa is still there). We've always loved the burgers at Boll Weevil, because they would grill them medium rare. Weevil Burger does that also.
This reincarnation is in the same spot as a previous Boll Weevil, in the La Mesa Fletcher Parkway strip mall which houses 'the' Michaels and 'the' Souplantation, closer to Shizuoka which is near Dallas Street.
The interior is essentially the same, just cleaned up a bit (the original menu with prices is printed on that endangered species green sea turtle shell on the wall) with 4 flat screen televisions.

After you place your order, the Traditional Tray of Condiments is brought to your table. -pickles, onions, relish, sweet peppers, catsup, mustard, mustardrelish blend, tobasco, salt and pepper. You still have to remember to ask for mayonnaise.

The half pound Weevil burger, medium rare. ($4.59). It's $1.50 more to add cheese, lettuce and tomato and really, I don't want that on this burger. The meat is coarse ground and flavorful all by itself.
I did add pickles, onion and mustard. The bun is toasted. Nothing else is needed to make this perfect for me.

The pool tables and video game area was busy the night we were here.
The Mister ordered the 1/2 pound Mushroom-Swiss burger with a side salad ($8.99). Also medium rare. as a combo (with fries (straight or curly), onion rings or salad) it's $8.99 and quite a meal. He likes the fresh sauteed mushrooms and the taste of the Swiss cheese on his burger.

The croutons are made in house, from rye bread, which they use here for their patty melt… Just plain white lettuce and a slice of tomato, but on its own, the salad is $3.50, so the combos are less expensive than ordering individual items here.
This particular location is doing very well and has a variety of menu items, including gyros sandwiches and varieties of chicken, all of which are fried properly. Sometimes I do order the 2 piece fried chicken meal, because it is so good. Usually, though it's the 1/2 pound Weevil Burger. That's all I need.
