COUNTRY MOTHER'S — Restaurant in Hualien City

Huge portions of quality food at a very reasonable price. We came by on a Saturday around noon and waited 10 minutes for a table for 2. The employees were SO friendly to accommodate how we could not speak or read any Chinese. You basically get seated with a menu, then mark a laminate menu in Chinese, then pay for your meal, then wait for the delicious items to be served.

Tasted like a real, American breakfast. We ordered their CM (Country Mothers) breakfast that came with eggs, potatoes, their homemade bread and choice of meat - we got bacon. Also got their French toast side (huge portion, came with 4 pieces of toast cut into triangles for 8 pieces of French toast) and their veggie omelette side - super good. Perfect amount of sweetness with the French toast and the omelette was 2 eggs with a delicate balance of veggies (baby corn, bell peppers) and cheese. I ordered their Banana Yogurt Salad that was a delicious blend of sweetened plain yogurt, bananas, walnuts, mulberry jam, mint leaves and cornflakes. Their black iced tea is pre sweetened. Orange juice freshly pressed.

Interior makes you feel more at home, with its big open windows and photos of 80’s looking dogs up on the wall.

Help yourself to water. Best to pay with cash. Our total was under 600NT for us to feel...

The overall cost is very inexpensive, food is above average which could have earned them 4 stars alone, however the place is a bit unorganized and they let someone from behind me in first, furthermore since you would have to pay first before you eat I had to wait in line to pay while the counter and the kitchen had an argument over trival things, the counter elder lady also picked up the phone and started to talk to an employee that didn't want to come to work anymore, while I was waiting impatiently. Was going to give a 1 Star initially, for the service but the food was yummy not the best but deserving. I give 3 stars hoping you would improve your services, customer centric attitudes were lacking. Your French toast should be soaked in bread...

We came here everyday for breakfast during our stay in Hualien. It's one of the only places that serves western style breakfasts early in the morning. The service is fantastic and on our second return they remembered how we liked our drinks and were very welcoming. The quality of the food is great and they were even able to customise items for us. Would recommend the Eggs Benedict. The main server/manager speaks English which made it easier for us to order as our Chinese is very limited. The place gets very busy so be sure to reserve a table or get there early - you might need to line up and wait, especially...
