it also came with some sort of spicy aioli. and i covered my dish in pancake syrup.
for a pretty basic dish, it was awesome. the kale was perfect, the tofu scramble was peppery and basic, but hit the spot. the polenta cakes were light with a good lightly fried crust. and the sausage - i couldn't tell if it was a spicy field roast, but it was good too.
overall, it was a good hearty breakfast.
todd got what i would consider to be my dream breakfast - deep fried seitan with waffles.
this dish was...underwhelming. it came with a side of mustard greens - i guess its trying to be a little healthy? but its a weird addition. also a weird addition was the spicy aioli on the side.
the seitan is hidden underneath the waffles. they were deepfried. that's really all there is to say about them. they didn't have any flavor and their texture was boring. the waffles were decent - nothing special. it did come with a whole caraffe of syrup, which was exciting, but it wasn't real maple syrup just pancake syrup. but i really like pancake syrup....so...i wasn't totally disappointed. even eating a piece of seitan with waffle covered in pancake syrup was just...well...meh. that is not how the experience should be - the chiken and waffles i had in chicago was like a flavor explosion in my mouth. i would not order this.
but i would go back to mi lah for brunch. actually i want to go back soon. shawn got an omelet! it was awesome! there are so many other things i want to order! i would drink coffee before going though....they were a little slow with the coffee refills.
