IHop, the international house of pancakes is a popular breakfast spot. Ihop has a few locations in Vancouver as it is’s a breakfast chain.
One of the things Ihop is known for is their four types of signature syrups for their guests to enjoy; “old fashioned”, “strawberry,” “blueberry,” and “butter pecan.” To me personally, old fashioned tasted like the usual plain syrup, the strawberry tasted like a strawberry flavoured lollipop, the blueberry tasted like a sweeter version of a blueberry jam, and the butter pecan tasted too strongly of butter.
Breakfast sampler
It came with bacon strips, sausages, ham slices, eggs (he chose scrambled), a bed of hashbrowns and pancakes. Grayson said that the meats were perfectly seasoned and that the hashbrowns were “on point”.The pancakes were light in texture and still moist (in the good way) on the inside. Although the eggs were nice and fluffy, he had to season them some more himself. Overall though, he was very satisfied with his first Ihop breakfast.
Chicken and waffles
Banner on the other hand, knew what he wanted two seconds after he sat down. When I asked for his description of his delicious looking breakfast, he decided to try to go foodie on me with his responses. In his words, “the slightly golden browned waffles have light crisp crunch on the outside with a soft interior to compliment it.” While he appreciated the tender crispy chicken, he would have liked it better “if it was actual fried chicken instead of just the chicken strips (that you could buy from the frozen department at wholesale stores)”.
The honey mustard that was provided to go with the chicken had “a nice kick of spice to go with the sweetness of the sauce”. I, being an adventurous one, asked why he didn’t eat the chicken AND waffles together as a complete bite. He said he didn’t feel like it but in the end he tried the two together to satisfy my curiosity. I think he regretted doing so though, because he did not like the two together very much.
Ham and cheese omelette
I got the hearty ham and cheese omelette and were quite satisfied with it. Honestly, I didn’t expect for this omelette to be so large in size when I ordered it but was glad to see that the portion was quite large. I mean, you always want to get the best bang for your buck right? Anyway, the omelette was filled with ham and cheesy goodness. I didn’t end up finishing it all because there was so much to it!
