all right guys so today we are taking you out for a fancy breakfast a little something
different from what we showed you yesterday and we have come to one of my favorite cafes
in all of buenos aires argentina this place is called petit colon and it oozes
elegance it is just so beautiful it is one block away from teatro colon
which is the biggest grandest theater in the whole city so yeah we're gonna be taking
you for breakfast we've eaten here many times before and we hope you enjoy it as much as i do
so i'm going to start with the croissant the medialuna stuffed with ham and cheese what i
really like about this is the combination of like sweet and savory you've got the sweetness of the
croissant which has a glaze over top but then the savory of the ham and the cheese a really nice
combination even if it seems a bit strange like why would you put those two together but i like it
this is very good i highly recommend trying it if you find yourself here in buenos aires
it's also known as a mafalda a stuffed croissant is a mafalda so if you see that on the menu you
know what you're getting now some crisps it's nice to be having something a little salty
for breakfast too we have a lot of sweets most breakfasts are sweet unless you order like the
ham and cheese grilled sandwich you can also do that as a breakfast food item but here in
argentina it's mostly a sweet breakfast and then for today's drink we wanted to show you the medina
it means submarine and basically it's just a cup of hot milk and they give you a piece of chocolate
it's from the brand aguila and then you drop the chocolate into the milk like a little submarine
you wait for it to start to melt and then you mix it and you get like this sort of hot chocolate
the flavors of my childhood oh and then we had two little bites of cake that kind of just came
with breakfast i've already devoured one it's like a vanilla sponge cake with icing sugar on
top so it was very very good so yum yum well well guys if audrey went for the salty breakfast i am
doing the exact opposite this is a decadent sweet tooth breakfast and as you can see over here i've
got fancy pastries yes you do so these are called facturas the one over here has some jam on the end
and then this part has custard now over here we've got um custard and then a giant dollop of dulce de
leche delicious argentine caramel and then over here is a special alfajor i was hoping to get the
homemade one the maisena which is just the cookie and the dulce de leche with cornstarch yeah but
this one they didn't have that but this one's a little fancier this has a chocolate coating on
top and then it also has some some nuts sprinkled and then i got a fancy cappuccino with cinnamon
corn canela you need some sugar you know what i think it could be good on its own
oh yeah it doesn't need sugar i mean you could add it if you wanted it but
such a nice cinnamon cappuccino all right i'm just going to indulge in these so
i'm going to bore your knife i'm going to try a bite
first the jam that one is quince jam it is called membrano the thing i love so much about quinn's
jam in argentina is just how tart it is yes tart and sweet okay let's move on to the custard part
it tastes a little bit like the custard you'd find in a you know a north american donut like
a boston cream doughnut exactly all right guys this is maybe the most decadent of all
that's by far my favorite not only is it sweet with dulce de leche but it's also got
a dusting of icing sugar on top and those are like the three main ingredients that you find
in factors it's either custard yeah quince jam or dude so we were able to try them all
now guys this should be really interesting once i break this in half you can see
the alpha horror and all of its glory look at that we have the chocolate coating the nuts
the cookie the dulce de leche in the middle and another layer of cookie
my goodness is it ever tasty this is kind of the ultimate
fancy breakfast you can have in buenos aires argentina it's just it's phenomenal the
everything is just so fresh and delicious and well made and the environment here is just
spectacular i even like the music they've got like a jazzy piano going on in the background
and it's just like i don't know even people people who come here it just feels like
you want to linger you don't want to just come in and wolf down your food and leave it's a place to
linger it's a place to read your newspaper nice place to come that was marvelous how are you
feeling after that oh that was just the ultimate it was the ultimate fancy breakfast seriously
so good and it wasn't that expensive like the total came to 10 us dollars for both of us to
eat in such a beautiful setting which is what's just over 600 pesos 650 pesos they're just a
little over ten dollars five bucks per person we ate really well i'm beyond satisfied and yeah if
