For once some of my roommates actually wanted to take a quick mini vacation out to San Diego and what a great way is to stop by to get some "drinks" going on. If you're under aged, sorry about it, but you can't enjoy the festivities. Might as well skip the blog completely, unless you feel rebellious, then continue on. We went to The Lost Abbey/Port Brewing Co. to try out some of their brew. They are located out in San Marcos, CA within the San Diego County. Right when you get that parking, and you smell the brew in the air, you encounter these giant wooden barrels outside. Below is both sides of the barrel: After you get carded (if you look hella young like me), you enter this great place. On the left-hand side, you have a bunch of paintings posted on the wall that represent the different drinks that Lost Abbey have on their bottles. If you are a Lost Abbey connoisseur, you probably have an idea of what drinks they have available, but if not, then you're out of luck (unless you can read the menu that I took below): They have both drafts for Lost Abbey and Port Brewing, but along with those, they have the seasonal draft for each. Since I tried some of their regular drafts already, I wanted to be adventurous and try one of their seasonal beers. In this case, I got the "Merry Taj IPA." It shows below: It gave a nice floral note with a slight fruitiness, which I liked. If you are into Hoppy Beers, you will like this. Even if you weren't too much into Hoppy Beers, it is a nice change because it's not ridiculously strong. What was interesting, is that it kind of gave a slight spice to it at the back of your throat. Other than this, I got to try a bunch of my friends' beers, but I can't seem to recall the names of each. I just remember once of them kind of tasted like Corn Flakes. I don't know, but it was interesting. If you want to find out more about the drinks, I suggest taking a quick trip there and hitting up the brewery.
**Side Note: $1 Tasters. :)

Mo's Egg House is an American diner, located in Temecula, CA that gives you an old feeling of some comfort food from home. Right in the entrance, there are some of those metal wooden doors that is a classic to diners. Giving you a heads up, there is going to be a wait there because it is mainly open for breakfast/lunch, so come on in early. There is plenty of seating for the tables and even a counter to sit at. You are given some complimentary coffee cake here. What you know about FREE!? The cake is a light sweet with a great cinnamon flavor to it. The cake is not dry or anything, which made it quite delicious. The coffee cake is below: On the menu, there are a bunch of different things that you would find typically at a diner, except with a twist as well. There are different kinds of scrambles, omelettes, waffles, pancakes, etc. and their specialties as well. For my first time here, I ordered the Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict. The picture is below: The Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict is a nice seafood twist on the typical Eggs Benedict with Bacon. The crab cakes had a crunchy exterior with an actual crab filling, not that imitation crab. The hollandaise sauce was really creamy which complimented the crab cakes and English muffin. The potatoes were really good because they would be crunchy and soft inside at the same time. There was a good amount of salt on them, but wasn't overpowering at all.
Overall, my food experience was great and for being around $10, I thought this was a good meal. I would definitely come back here for more breakfast foods. I still want to try the different omelettes. I would definitely suggest coming in here. |
