Vacation day 3 of 4. Patrick and I walked to breakfast at Wildflower Cafe. Patrick ordered two eggs over medium with pork sausage and rosemary-garlic toast and one pancake. He also declined the potatoes that came with his order but got them anyway. I got two eggs over easy with pork sausage and rosemary-garlic toast and potatoes. My eggs were cold but I didn't complain. Coffee for Patrick, earl grey tea for me. $41.50 before tip. Walked back to our Airbnb. Nap. We randomly drove to Neptune's Fountain and visited the shopping center there, stopping at Corners of the World where we met dog Rosie and her shopkeeper owner. We happened to see King's Hawaiian Bakery on the map and drove there but there was a 45-minute wait to eat, and we didn't want to wait. Instead we drove to Madre! for lunch: cocktails: mezcal margaritas ($14 each). We shared chicken mole negro ($24) and enchiladas verde with prawns ($25). All food and drink were delicious. Service by Rachelle was mostly good. Total was just over $100 after a $16 tip. Afterwards we drove to Del Amo Fashion Center and walked throughout the mall. We drove back to our Airbnb and napped. Dinner at Japonica Redondo (310-316-9477, 1304 1/2 S. Pacific Coast Hwy, Redondo Beach, CA 90277) with Patrick: oka = 28.00, truffle salmon = 10.99, white lightning = 18.99, hamachi davidson = 19.99, spider roll = 13.99, subtotal = 91.96, tax = 8.73, tip = 18.12, total = 118.81. Recommended. We walked back to our Airbnb. We watched Escape from New York on Amazon Prime.
