i woke up early again, although no longer at 2am but 5am today, so i guess i will be completely adjusted by tomorrow. i love the brunch i had yesterday and since i am early, i didn't want to starve till 10am or so, so i search for a good breakfast place. i found this e.leaven with rather good comments but it turned out a little below my expectation, the place is not like m henry that i went yesterday and e.leaven is more like any other chain store.

a bowl of fresh fruit turns up in a plastic cup, the corn beef hash brown plate is alright but because i am comparing it against m henry and thus this becomes below expectation. may be i should just go back to m.henry tomorrow?

i walked pass joe's stone crab yesterday and determine to give it a go and i went there this afternoon for my lunch after the museum visit and some retail therapy. i think i been to this restaurant at their original store in miami few years ago...

joe's welcomed single diner like me, and in fact i am completely comfortable and the waitress is doing her best making sure i am at ease. well, dining alone is my skill after many years of business trip and room service is not my favorite, i have no problem in eating alone at all...

some posters of this establishment hanging on the wall

the bread served was also yummy, i almost finished all the bread

1 lb of alaska king crab leg, with the restaurant week offer, the price tag is unbelievable friendly and it is almost impossible to get this in europe. i think the last time I had this was in japan.

it's super duper delicious... but i wonder why they serve it with melted butter which i thought it was vinegar or some sour sauce but i was wrong

a small side dish cauliflower gelatin, not heavy at all...
with one glass of chardonay blanc to go with the crab, i walked out the door completely satisfied and full wondering if i still need my dinner tonight.
