Mar 6: Captain Cooks (breakfast)
Ok, I will be the first to admit I'm not a huge breakfast fan. I skip it way too often. Plus when I DO eat breakfast I am a total meat and eggs person. Give me some scrambled eggs or an omelet. Don't forget the ham in my scrambled eggs and add some bacon, sausage and/or scrapple to that! I rarely eat any kind of sweets for breakfast (pancakes, waffles, french toast) but I do make an exception for DONUTS and TONGA TOAST!
Yes we tried Tonga Toast back on a trip to the Kona Cafe for breakfast several years ago and since I learned we could get it for MUCH cheaper at Captain Cooks, we make special trips to the Polynesian just for that reason!
So, that's what I was after but it's a BIG portion even at Captain Cooks, so Frank and I split the tonga toast. I added some bacon to mine and got an orange and some milk. Frank got the Bounty Platter. I only have a photo of my food:
And a closeup:
And the inside with it's banana goodness:
Frank mentioned it did not have as much of a banana taste as he remembered but I enjoyed it. It never disappoints and for the record it does not need added syrup...it's just PERFECT by itself!
We selected an outside table, which we regretted because we were constantly bothered by ducks and birds who were begging for food.
Total bill here was $28.47 for the two of us for breakfast. Frank did get THREE drinks with his meal: Coffee, water and some kind of large bottle juice drink. I got my meal plus the orange and a milk. There is no TIW discount but considering we paid about $1 more for our meal at Kouzzina (a table service restaurant) and that wasn't NEARLY this amount of food or drink, I'd say it was pretty good. We would (and will) definitely make a return trip here!
