A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Went to this fancy restaurant for the first night I was in NYC.
From the starting bread, to the mushroom cheese pizza, to the steak, to the chocolate cake with chocolate mint ice cream, the food was really good. Also, the merlot went great with the food.
We got brunch at this place in Austin.
I would go back (as they have mimosa carafes), however, they completely did not have my order lol.
For brunch, I ordered crab cake and egg Benedict’s. I modified the eggs to be scrambled. However, they did not have the crab cake, so they replaced it with sausage.
A really great dim sum place (you can’t tell by the name, but apparently the Chinese name is more representative). Quality of all the dishes we got was great (from the Siu mai and hargow to the fried rice and chow mein).
Definitely coming back here for dim sum / brunch.
This place had some crazy looking donuts. Ended up getting the Old dirty bastard donut (vanilla frosting with Oreo chub is and peanut butter). It was pretty good, but definitely very rich (and this, couldn’t finish all of it).
We ended up going to this really popular BBQ chain for our Texas experience.
For the picture below, we ended up getting a pound of lean beef, a pound of pork spare ribs, half a pound of fatty beef, and a half chicken (with a pint of Mac and cheese and a pint of green beans).
Honestly, everything was ok (it would have been better if it was less salty). The house sauce helped make the food not taste salty. For the lean beef, I think we can do with less of that next time (half a pound less).
We went here for lunch in Reno.
I gotta say, this fast food Korean place is really good.
I ended up getting the Top-Bap with Bulgogi, an it was phenomenal. I also had some teriyaki Spivey sauce on the side, and thought that was great.
We ended up going to this place for dinner on our way to Reno (for burning man).
Gotta day, this place was pretty terrible. I got the pulled pork sandwich, and it was extremely salty. Also, the old fashion was meh.
So, not going back here again.
We checked out this place for drinks (which is inside Casa Loma). It’s also a restaurant, which I need to check out (as I was leaving, I caught a glimpse of a delicious lobster tail).
For drinks, we started off with a nitrogen infused drink (it had whisky and some other sweet liqueur). It tasted great (and our friend knew the bartender, which made it that much better). I also grabbed a second drink, but don’t really remember it.
We came here for burgers and drinks.
I wasn’t too Hungary, so I just had the cheese fries and wings, plus and old fashion (for happy hour, it was not bad).
Next time I go back I’ll try a burger.
Try various Filipino food, I decided to try this food truck.
I did like the food, but I think I got mild food poisoning from it :/. I ordered the pork sisig with egg.
