Last Saturday, some friends of mine and I decided to check out Mr. Pancake in the French Concession. As the name would imply, Mr. Pancake serves Western style breakfast items; no 包子 or 炒面, only a rather large menu of Western style diner foods. The actual pancakes were OK, not great, but my omelet and my potatoes were good. What was strange though is that Mr. Pancake gives you a fork and knife, the first fork and knife I used since I got to China. Most of the Western food I eat in China is stuff liker burgers or pizza that can be eaten with your hands. The Thai use forks but they do a fork and spoon combo, not a fork and knife combo. Since we went for a kind of late brunch, I also got a decent Bloody Mary and a good coffee. Overall, a good breakfast for someone who haven't eaten a Western breakfast in some time, though not as good as a proper Jersey diner.

Can never complain about a pretty righteous looking Bloody Mary. I guess pancakes with chopsticks would be a feet of coordination beyond ur pay grade
