Who Fed Mr. Hong?

That would be Miao Yin and her dragon blood. But not being an undead sorcerer, I had to find something more corporeal for Saturday lunch. So I dropped into Maggie's near College and Bathurst. This all-day breakfast diner has been around for close to a decade. But like the similar Mars Food and Aunties and Uncles on the same stretch, it's easy to pass it by.

It was warm and cozy inside the snug resto, with muted blue walls and a few local art pieces for sale, as rain started to come down. I got a poached eggs combination platter ($7.99). It was a large serving with some nice touches: an assortment of fresh fruit, and 4 large pieces of fragrant Eastern Europe sausages instead of the typical smaller breakfast sausages. The garlic fries disappointed with its wilted softness, especially compared to recent openings that served golden, crunchy fries. Overall though, it was a filling plate with good flavour; cheaper than trendy diners, tastier than hole-in-the-walls.
