Elements Kitchen - Pasadena

a hot breeze swept through my window. after staying up until 3am to watch Star Trek opening night...I naturally woke up at noon. Hmm...not another final to study for until 4 days later. An outdoor 2 hour lunch was long overdue.

My lunch partner and I headed down Fair Oaks looking for a cute brick building with some yellow umbrellas over outdoor seating. Spotted. We parked and walked over to an open table lined with gleaming white tablecloth and a vase of fresh flowers. When's the last time I've seen fresh flowers at a lunch spot...hmm.


Our cheery waitress stop to give us our menus...so many choices...all sounding divine. Their menu (which changes) this trip was choked with fresh and eclectic choices.

We got:

Curry Chicken Sandwich

With dried cranberries, toasted cashews, and Madras curry on our house foccacia roll

MAC N’CHEESE with Bacon

Hibiscus and lemon punch and Hibiscus tea

And a special grilled prawn salad.

Food for 2. fatties.


A super cute, healthy place perfect for warm lazy days minus the guilt. Service was a tad slow but it almost seemed pre-meditated. Not a place to come if you're in a rush. But a definite spot if you want lunch to catch up with friends. The servings were pretty generous and very flavorful. We had leftovers to take home for the next day. Its a block away from Old Town so always nice to walk off the lunch with some retail therapy.

Their brunch menu (saturday and sunday) seems awesome too... might have to make my way back.
Ebelskivers--Stuffed pancakes with a side of Shreiner’s breakfast sausage and maple syrup
Duck Sausage Breakfast Burrito--With duck confit, scrambled duck eggs, sweet potatoes, onionsand peppers with a side of Tomatillo salsa
Thick Sliced Brioche French Toast with Lillet syrup and fresh fruit
Quiche of the Day
Croissant Sandwich with crispy bacon, 3 eggs over easy, homemade tomato tapenade, and aioli served with Elements’ sweet potato home fries

Our Chapter Closes

I wish I could rip out a page of my memory
Cuz I put too much energy in him and me
Can't wait till I get through this phase
Cuz its killing me

To bad we can't re-write our own history
Such a mystery when hes here with me
It's hard to believe I'm still lonely
Chances fading now, patience running out
This ain't how its supposed to be

Seems only like yesterday, Not even gravity
Could keep your feet off the ground when u go to me
How can two be as one
We've become to divided now
Theres no use hiding from my misery

A better day...
