Bongo Room
1152 S Wabash Ave
Chicago IL 60605
312-291-0100On our way to Museum Park in Chicago, we ate at Yang, a really bad Chinese restaurant. Another restaurant between the closest subway station and Museum Park also has bongo room. I came with a few friends who said this place was pretty good for brunch but I've never really had amazing brunch before so I wasn't expecting much.
A very plain interior with very plain tables. It's as simple as the kids section of Ikea.
Prawn Benedict:
Those are not prawns. They're more like small shrimps. I liked the egg benedict but I was really left wanting more in the end. I like the potato with skin. A slight change to the traditional roasted potatoes, that I like.
Breakfast Burrito:
Strawberry French Toast:
Chocolate Tower French Toast:
WOW! This was very chocolatety. The outside is a tad on the dry side but the middle is very moist - almost like a chocolate cake. This is one dish you have to try if you visit this restaurant.
My shrimp benedict was alright. It's small and tasted exactly what I imagined it to be. The chocolate tower was really good. I wish I wasn't so full from eating a bit of the burrito. Next time I come here, I might just order only the chocolate tower... yum!

Our hotel was right next to this place! Now I'm sad I didn't get to try it out. We did go to Seven - a diner nearby that had the most amazing breakfasts.
the chocolate toast looks delicious!
btw, any recommendations for greek restaurant around the scarborough/markham area?

@xBabEeKisSezx In the Scarborough area I'd go with Mr. Greek. I like their Saganaki (the flambeed cheese). Otherwise I think you'd need to go on a trip down Danforth.
@tissue888 I'll have to try that the next time I go
