Oakland, CA 94609
Occasion: Woke up on a Saturday morning and decided we wanted to make our way to Oakland for some fried chicken sandwich. Luckily we got there right when they started serving the sandwiches @ about 10:30am. If you arrive anytime before 10:30am, they only serve breakfast foods. 08.06.11
Raisin orange scone
Freaking amazing. And the fact that we got it for free made it taste even better. It was one of the best scones I have ever had. Of course everything is better eaten when hot/warm fresh out of the oven. But the flavors in it were so amazing...raisin and zesty orange goodness.
Chicken Sandwich
Finally got to try their infamous fried chicken sandwich. I had mixed feelings before trying it. I really really wanted to try it to see what everyone was talking about, but at the same time, I was afraid it would taste like KFC chicken in a sandwich bun. I was so impressed with the sandwich. The chicken was not overly fried, the meat was not dry and super tender. The cole slaw was not like KFC 's coleslaw, where it's drenched with mayonnaise. Instead they use some kind of a vinaigrette dressing of some sort. It has a tangy goodness to it. I also noticed slices of jalapenos in the coleslaw for just a little bit of heat. Coming from a person who can't really handle much heat, the jalapeno slices are not too bad.
Strawberry shortcake
It's not like most strawberry shortcakes I'm used to where there's layers of cake, whipped cream and strawberry. There's a small loaf of shortcake, then whipped cream topped on top of the cake. Slices of strawberries are tossed on top. To eat it, you just use a fork and make sure you get a bite of all three ingredients. The shortcake is so good, we were fighting for the last piece. I wished there were more cake! We seemed to have ended up with less and left over whipped cream and strawberry slices. It is simply divine and scrumplicious!
