Sonora Grill

We went to this place for dinner after going to the Soumaya Mueseum in Polanco (Mexico City).

Like the rest do the area, it’s fairly up scale. Lots of high rise buildings and big naked companies.

This restaurant was located in a high end mall. Definitely the vibe was great.

For drinks, each whisky drink required that you order a double (so about 23 usd for two shots of Glenlevit). Deal was pretty sick.

For starters, they started us of (for free) with some nachos and dip (that seemed to have cheese and beans). For appetizers, we got the cauliflower, beef tacos, beef wrapped asparagus, quesadilla sampler and octopus. Would get the first three again.

For our main, shared the ribeye steak (medium rare) with mushrooms and spinach’s sides. Would get all but the mushrooms again.

For desert, we got a variety of cakes (not exactly sure which ones). Would get any cake there again.

Abusan

We stopped by this teppanyaki place for dinner in the Gion region in Tokyo. Great find.

For drinks, got several highballs (obviously).

For food, got Negi-yaki with Japanese beef, and Fried noodles with salt and garlic. Both really great. (A friend got the mushroom and corn vegetables. Definitely recommend).

(Ps clothes will smell like food for a while unless you wash them).

Cup Pasta

Tried this place for lunch since it was right beside our Airbnb in Brussels.

Overall, it was ok. I would come back if there was nothing else really around.

I got the small pasta with the sauce that says “cream, cheese and bacon” with penne, and added chicken.

Prep’ La Crepe

Started off the third day of Madrid having coffee and lunch at this place.

So this was the first time I had a savory crepe, and it was delicious. Got a simple one (ham y cheddar). It was good, but would get the one my friend got next time (his had mushrooms, cheese, bacon and egg). Also got a latte. Would recommend this place.

Yakitori Nonono

We went to this restaurant for a friends 35th bday. I think the food was excellent, and price was super reasonable (below is only about $300, which includes drinks).

For drink, they have a toki high ball on the menu. Of course would get that again. They also have some other interesting cocktails pictured on their menu. Would probably want to try one one of those next time.

For the good, would get everything pictured below again, except the spicy wings, chicken skin (5th and 7th pictured below), and one of the deserts (it’s last picture, the desert on the left hand side… the taste was described like sesame… guess I don’t like that as a desert). Also, missing below is the dish that had a very creamy (pasta-ish) like sauce. That was also really good

Barvale

We went here for tapas and drinks, and I would definitely come back.

We ordered a bunch of dishes. The best ones by far (although the other ones were good as well) were the mushrooms, the meatballs, the and the octopus dishes.

For drinks, I got a lemon drop. Next time I would try their specialty ones on their menu.

Kemuri Japanese Baru

This place was awesome for several reasons. One, it has a full bar, and two, the food was great (but not cheap).

For drinks, I ordered the Kemuri Manhattan ( I gotta say it was a bit too Smokey for my taste). My second drink, however, was amazing. It was the RWC Breeze (Vidka, April, pineapple juice). It was just the right amount of sweetness and tasted refreshing.

For the main dishes, we ordered the soft shell crab, the Kobe style beef (grill), shiitake mushrooms skewer, chicken karaage , beef tataki kale salad, and the uni paella. Everything was great except for the mushrooms (they seemed under cooked or dry).

New Mongolian BBQ

Walking on Castro street in Mountain view, we decided to try this place.

For the price ($16 for dinner), I think this place was worth it. They had the standard meat selection (beef, chicken, pork, and lamb). I thought the pork was a bit too fatty, but I guess most people would like that.

For the vegetables I thought the selection was decent (peppers, baby corn, mushrooms, carrots). For the carbs, they only had one noodle selection (I kinda wish they had a variety l, not just the thick noodles). They also had tofu, which I definitely enjoyed!

For the sauce, you want to do the house special mix (the original mix was ok, but not as good as the special).

It is also worth noting this place does not serve alcohol 🙁

Loving Hut (Westfield Cafeteria)

Feeling like eating a vegan meal, I went to Loving Hut. I had the noodles, with basil mushrooms and red chili tofu.

I have to say, the noodles seemed dryer than I expected, and same with the tofu. The mushrooms were pretty good. The one thing with the noodles that came as a surprise is that they had had small slivers of tofu, that tasted like fish cake (which I obviously really like).

The service was a bit harsh (especially if the name is called Loving Hut). They also don’t do half and half for rice and noodles (wtf).
