SUGGESTIONS: BRUNCH IN SAN DIEGO

My favorite savory and sweet brunch items from local spots in San Diego! Sydney Chan

1. Harry’s

Going to Harry’s is undoubtedly a great tradition in our Bishop’s community, and one of my favorite brunch spots in La Jolla. I’m 100 percent a tuna sashimi girl, but for the salty option, I suggest the Tuna Melt with a side of fries. And Harry’s fries are the best. Not super thin, crunchy, and soft at the same time, we may as well give Harry’s the Best Fries in San Diego award. For the sweet option, I recommend the Chocolate Chip Chip Pancakes. They’re fluffy and not too sweet. I don’t know how to explain it, besides saying that they taste like nostalgia. You take the first bite, and you’re home.

2. Sugar and Scribe

Sugar and Scribe has really upped their menu since the last time I visited a couple of years ago. For the savory option, the Blazin’ Chilaquiles Skillet has pickled onions and pickled fresno chillies that perfectly cut the richness of the dish. The chips on the bottom are soaked with the sauce, so they have a nice savory flavor and a soft-ish texture. The Nutella Nuts French Toast is soft bread with a thin layer of nutella and sliced strawberries. It comes with a little dollop of vanilla bean whipped cream that is incredibly light and fluffy to contrast the thick and nutty flavor of the nutella.

3. Jasmine Seafood Restaurant

Jasmine is a classic Chinese restaurant, serving family-style dishes like dim sum, a traditional Chinese meal made up of small places of dumplings and other dishes. Some of my favorite dishes are the har gow — steamed crystal skin dumplings filled with shrimp — barbecue pork cheung fun — light rice noodles filled with a sweet, smoky pork topped with a soy-based sauce — and turnip cakes — a savory, turnip patty paired with hoisin sauce. My favorite sweet options are zhi ma qiu — fried sesame balls filled with either sweet red bean or lotus paste. Classic, crunchy, and satisfying.

The Nutella Nuts French Toast from Sugar and Scribe paired with sliced strawberries and a light vanilla bean whipped cream is a delicious sweet brunch option.
