One of my favorite breakfast spots from last trip was a bit unexpected! I knew right away that I needed to go back!
So off we were to The Wave at The Contemporary this morning!
Since our plan was to "drink around the world" throughout the day, we knew that a solid breakfast was needed.
I really had wanted to try the buffet (I'm a girl that usually likes to sample!) but what I was really after was some eggs benedict, because last time, the hollondaise sauce really knocked my socks off.
They sent a chef out for us, and we explained that we were pretty comfortable with what to avoid (sadly no grits for us, they were loaded with bacon.) I mentioned that I had really wanted the buffet to sample a few things, but that what I wanted most was some eggs benedict without the ham (like a wierdo.) Really, I would have been happy with a glass of that hollondaise for breakfast.
The chef (I REALLY wish I had gotten his name!) very kindly offered to make me some eggs on an english muffin with the sauce, or he said he could make me a smoked salmon eggs benedict and he said he would bring out my special order and I could still enjoy the buffet.
With that in mind, we both ended up getting the buffet.
My first plate consisted of (clockwise from top left) fresh pineapple, which was incredibly fresh, a sticky bun, emphasis on the sticky and it was equally delicious, sweet potato pancakes with honey pecan butter, they are like a pumpkin pie in a pancake form and are one of my favorites, and some smoked salmon and hard boiled egg.
Megan was feeling the need for some healthy food this morning and went with some fruit and veg and a small pastry.
After a few minutes, my masterpiece finally arrived...
The eggs were cooked perfectly, the salmon was nice and chilled still, and the hollondaise was perfection. The muffin was also cut SUPER thin, not at all like the thick, dense ones I find in the store. It was amazing and left me feeling not overly full. I resisted the urge to lick my plate!
For a little additional protein, I also ordered this as my beverage...
Mega-Berry Smoothie - Raspberry Puree and Nonfat Yogurt blended with Odwalla Berries GoMega (an excellent source of Omega-3) $4.99
It was delicious!
All in all, a GREAT meal here. The food was all hot and fresh, and the place is mostly deserted!
