<5> Delectable Easter-Brunch Choices

Duke's Restaurant in Huntington Beach on the Pier

This is one of my favorite places for a Sunday Brunch in Orange County! They have an amazing selection of delicious food, from the typical morning choices to far above and beyond! I love fish, creatively prepared, and on my plate are some of my favorites. On the won-ton square is my *very most favorite*, Ahi Poki, then salmon with capers, and a shrimp cevichi, one of the two choices they have available. No brunch is complete without dessert, and they offered *gigantic* chocolate-dipped strawberries, and cream puffs. Remember my "Blue Hawaii" back in the alphabet for "U"? Yep, had one of those, too, there on the side.

If all that weren't enough, a pair of Hawaiian musicians and a gorgeous hula dancer came to our table to play & sing Iz's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/Wonderful World" and a Hawaiian standard, "Waikiki". It's as close as I can get to being back in the islands for the time being, but it runs a close second...

Jason, thanks for bringing me a special plate to make my picture look just that much better! You and the folks who work there are Just The Best! **Aloha & Mahalo**
Looks yummy, and thanks for your kind comments!

Your descriptions always make us feel that we have been right there with you as you live life's small moments. I can almost hear those musicians playing at your table, and see the hula dancer smiling at you. The food looks very inviting, too ....

WOW! What a delicious meal - wish I was there to taste it & share a glass os two with you :) Great photo Louise! - so colourful!
April 5th, 2010  
Louise, I love the color combination - all reds, browns, and yellows. And then in the right corner this almost "poisonous" green. What is in that glass? Great contrast.
