i found another cafe that specialized in breakfast/brunch that opens early aka 7am onwards. orange is not too far from my hotel and i was practically the one and only customer at that hour of the day...

orange - contemporary brunch with a peel, that's the slogan of the restaurant. i ordered the specialty which is orange scented coffee, and to my delight it actually tastes quite refreshing and the orange is not overpowering or artificial at all. the bonus is there is bottomless refill.... i also had a glass of apple celery ginger juice, freshly squeezed and healthy concotion. you order the juice by picking the choice of fruits from 3 steps and hand it to the waitress.

my current read... a good companion for a single diner...

the decoration is warm and bright, i decided to sit nearby to the window so that i can enjoy the traffic and passerby while enjoying my breakfast.the decoration is warm and bright, i decided to sit nearby to the window so that i can enjoy the traffic and passerby while enjoying my breakfast.

i ordered french toast kebobCoconut-infused french toast skewered with fresh strawberries and pineapples,topped with honey and served with coconut-mango salad.

again american size that are so big that i could never finish the whole plate by myself, this is really yummy and what an creative combination, love the mango coconut salad that is served slightly warm.... although m henry may be the best but orange is definitely not bad at all, the food is pleasing to the eyes and satisfying to the stomach.

i had my portion of walk and stroll around the loop area before i had my late lunch at the oyster bar just opposite the hotel, this is probably my last nice seafood before i head to st charles where i called home for three weeks.

the interior of the oyster bar, quite a cozy place to hang around...

i had 1/2 dozen oysters as starter and they are just so fresh, meaty and delicious...

then follow by a crab cake Caesar salad and the crab cake is really made of shredded crab meat, so sweet and juicy, the green is nice to complete my vegetables intake of the day. and on the courtesy of the house is a piece of key lime pie which i don't really fancy the crust is soggy and too sweet for me...

for now goodbye chicago, my limo is coming in 30 minutes and off i go.. i won't say this is the end of my holiday as this trip is never a vacation but a few days in chicago is a good overlay to fight the jet lag and enjoy every good things that the windy city could offer....
