Pete's Breakfast House in Ventura, CA

Shortly after my mom bought the Chinese food voucher on her kindle, an ad came up on my kindle for Pete's Breakfast House, also in Ventura, CA.  Since she bought the last voucher, I bought this one.  We finally got to use it last weekend.  Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives has been here, so it had quite the reputation to live up to.

After about a half hour wait to be seated, our order was taken fairly quickly and our food came out at a reasonable speed.

I ordered a meat maniac omelet (you get to choose one meat) and it comes with potatoes and bread.  Yum!

Huge, yummy biscuits!  I put homemade jam on mine instead of butter.

My mom ordered a great Greek omelet, which came with tomatoes, olives, spinach and feta.  She liked it but wished the spinach was cooked more and that there was more feta.

Overall, this place was good.  It probably wasn't worth a 30 minute wait, but it was worth the voucher that we used there.  We enjoyed ourselves, but probably won't be returning since it is out of the area.  If we lived less than 30-45 minutes away, I'm sure it would be different.

Spring Garden in Ventura, CA

As you can tell from my blog, my family loves to eat.  A while ago an ad popped up on my mom's Kindle for a voucher for a Chinese restaurant about 30 minutes away called Spring Garden in Ventura, CA.  Last weekend, we decided to try it out.

My mom, my dad, my sister and I all have different tastes but we like to order family style so we ordered 4 dishes plus fried rice.  Below are the delicious dishes we ordered:

Fried rice.  This came with the meal.  It only had some pieces of egg in it so I loved it!

Orange beef.  This beef was amazingly tender and the sauce was delicious.

Honey walnut shrimp.  I don't eat shrimp but the walnuts were really good LOL

Chicken egg foo young.  I really liked the chicken in this dish but didn't love the patty part for some reason.

Cashew chicken.  This was delicious.  I only wish I had ordered it with white meat.

This place was really, really good.  The service was excellent and the food was all tasty!  Although this restaurant is a bit of a drive for us, I have a hunch we will be going back.  Try out Spring Garden if you are ever in Ventura and craving Chinese food.
