The Myth Cafe

Here in China we have managed to find a pretty good Western Restaurant that isn't a fast food chain. It is called the Myth Cafe (hence the title of this entry). Now the Myth, as it is so affectionately called by it's followers, is the one break from Chinese food that I have found that gets about as close to Americian cuisine as you could want.

For starters the menu is in English and only English. There is no Chinese to be found on the menu and that makes me feel like I am at home.

Secondly, the Myth serves breakfast food like eggs and omelets. It also makes one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I have ever had. They also serve good coffee and that is hard to find over here in China. There is plenty of tea but not much coffee here in China.

The Myth also makes a good steak. It is a thin piece of meat but it is served with a great sauce on top and garnished with home fries. The Myth has a good selection of potatoes from crockets to mashed potatoes. Because the Myth is mostly meant for Westerners it is usually not packed with screaming Chinese people which makes it easier to have a conversation.

One thing they kind of missed on was the hot chocolate which is hot water and chocolate syrup. It's not bad but it isn't up to Myth standard.

Well, that's all I have today. Happy Mothers Day Mom!
