I
shall start this blog by writing about Pagoda, potentially my new
favorite breakfast spot. Pagoda is unexpectedly placed on Bayou Road
across from Cajun King (a place that has a $5.99 seafood buffet that I
will try before I die...yikes?) and a five minute walk from my house.
We've gone three Sundays in a row now, not just for the food, but also
to be treated like pure gold by Clarence, the beautiful blue-eyed
cashier who loves to "spoil us". There is only outside seating but, as
luck would have it, the weather has been perfect for three consistent
Sundays. The New Orleans community + a harpist + a New Zealand
beachfront restaurant = Pagoda.
Initially
what I found to be special about Pagoda was the fact that they had FLAT
WHITES. Invented in Australia/New Zealand, a flat white is similar to a
cafe au lait or a latte, but has a higher proportion of coffee to
steamed milk with a velvety consistency (my dream drink). To walk into
the Pagoda hut and see "flat white" written in chalk on the menu board
confirmed that Pagoda and I would be a match made in brunch heaven.
Their menu changes every week and lists about eight options. Try their
tacos... you will not be sad you did.
