B gets very hungry if he doesn't have breakfast / brunch. We hurried on over to Marulilu Cafe, a lovely little Japanese breakfast place serving a mix of Western and Japanese fare. Service was good and prompt. I ordered the Japanese Breakfast Special with Natto and G ordered the Oyakodon (Chicken Omelet on Rice).
I especially loved the Natto, though some might find its strong, pungent taste a little unsettling. The breakfast special also came with a chunk of grilled salmon, a lightly fluffed omelet, potatoes with sweet sauce, white shortgrain rice, and miso soup. Not bad for ~ $8.
G's Oyakodon was packed full of flavor but was a tad too sweet and lacking some savory. The green onions were a good touch and she liked the gooey consistency of the omelet. Cost ~$7
Marulilu has friendly staff, prompt service, clean interior decor, and an uberconvenient location (Broadway/Cambie) for drivers and bussers alike. Good place to go if you're looking for a light meal.
