Today, we started out with looking for a breakfast place in Dedham, finally settling for the Orchid7 Fusion Bar and Grill, a Caribbean restaurant in the downtown area. Pretty nice inside.
The brunch menu wasn't very Caribbean looking, which made me kind of regret coming here this time of day, but with a crunch for time before
Ice Chips 2023 was to start, we decided to go with the HAM BENEDICT (4oz Canadian bacon, served on an English muffin, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, breakfast potatoes, and toast or fruit)
and the ORCHID7 BREAKFAST (Sour dough bread, herb cream cheese, scrambled eggs, bacon, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, with breakfast potatoes.).
Nicely presented, I must say, and the flavors and textures were decent as well, with a Caribbean twist to it. Glad we came here because
The Friendly Toast in town was full of people.
which starred the reigning Olympic champion Nathan Chen,
we decided to give The Friendly Toast a second try, and this time they had available seating. Interesting decor as always like the Cambridge location I visited a few times.
We got the Huevos Rancheros (A bed of home fries, layered with crispy corn flats, black beans, fire roasted poblano corn, smashed avocado, a sunny egg, cotija cheese, pico de gallo, pickled onion & chimichurri.),
and the Appetize Me Captain (Try the Breakfast Egg Rolls (Two crispy egg rolls filled with scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries, American & Cheddar cheese - topped with Everything Bagel aioli), Churro Bites (Crispy fried doughnut pieces tossed in cinnamon & sugar, topped with a creamy cheesecake glaze & chocolate drizzle - served with our strawberry habanero jam), Some Like it Tot (Golden fried cheddar stuffed jumbo tots with VT cheddar cheese sauce, caramelized onions, crumbled bacon, sriracha glaze & scallions) & fresh fruit in this signature PuPu platter).
Excellent food I must say, especially the combination of flavors in the egg rolls, as well as the potato tots. Can see why this place is so popular.
