Cheer Up With Food

There are some birthdays I've been to where the foods and drinks are unforgettable, this is one of them :) A Tiffany Blue birthday cake! Homemade Korean food by Jen's mom. Soju - Native drink of Korea

  28GO The Restaurant  is an interesting Asian fusion restaurant.  You can tell just by looking at their menu .  Foods offered range from ramen (you have the choice of mixing broths together), tapas, stuffed waffles, and more: Yellow Fin Poke Stack- consists of fresh cubed tuna, tossed in sesame soy, seaweed salad, and crispy gyoza skin on a bed of romaine lettuce.  This was a big serving for a tapa! Stuffed Waffles - Sweet Curry Chicken with potatoes, carrots, served w/ two eggs, and their special ketchup.  This stuffed waffle was awesome... I'd never think of putting sweet curry in a waffle! If you have a serious sweet tooth I recommend trying a Waffle Ice Cream- Vanilla ice cream with warm butter syrup.  Our waiter, Xalan, who was also the general manager, was very kind and told us how some of the foods were made.  It was cool to hear how much work is put into making these foods.  PS:...

Now that I graduated, I finally have more time to prepare my own food at home!  Lately I've been trying to eat light during the evenings so in this photo I had a toasted cinnamon raisin bread spread with a little cream cheese and salmon on top ;)

For a ladies' date with my friend, we went to  Julian Serrano  at the Aria  to try some Spanish Tapas : A lovely set up Saute Mushrooms - Hedge hog mushrooms, tomato confit, and garlic demi.  These mushrooms had a really meaty texture, can't believe they were mushrooms! Brava Potatoes- These crisp potatoes were quite addicting. Vegan  Gazpacho - A Spanish chilled tomato-based soup.  Before I ate the soup, I was instructed to eat that gazpacho ball on the spoon. Right when I ate that ball, it felt like a yolk exploded in my mouth... The reaction on my face amused my friend and our server haha. I liked it, I just didn't expect that explosion! Mediterranean Bass - with donostiarra sauce, tomato confit, arbol chili, and garlic.  Churros - To be honest I was a bit reluctant to try overpriced churros. I guess I'm just used to churros for $1 or $2 at a carnival or theme park. Our waiter convinced us to try it and ...

It's been a long time since I've had Malaysian food so I chose to go to Island Malaysian Cuisine along Spring Mountain Rd.  When my fiancé and I got our appetizer and dishes we instantly could tell that this cuisine was influenced by Indian cuisine : Our appetizer Roti canai with Curry Broth.   This Indian-influenced flat bread was very thin, moist, flaky on some parts, and slightly sweet. The curry broth served as a dip which simply made this pair great! Pineapple Shrimp  served on a pineapple. The dish consisted of shrimp, slices of pineapple, onion, bell pepper, etc, and covered with curry.  Vegetable Curry came to us boiling and sizzling in a hot pot. The vegetables included were eggplant, long beans, okra, cabbage, and tomatoes. We also noticed from the last dish how much Malaysian food influences Filipino food by the mixture of foods used.  The Vegetable Curry reminded me of Sinigang (one of my favorite Filipino d...

Kabuki Dining Bar  located on Maryland Pkwy. & Flamingo Rd. is the place to go to for fine quality Japanese food.  I love this place so much that I came here four times in one month! Kabuki is a great place, but is situated at a horrible location because it's blocked by a small building in the Target shopping center.  I just find it unfortunate that this restaurant is hidden! Anyways back to the food, they serve authentic Japanese dishes and All-You-Can-Eat Sushi: Nami Chirashi  Bowl Daisuki Roll- this wonderful roll is named after a sushi chef who works there St. George Roll - my favorite eel roll! Garlic Tuna Nigiri Green Tea Panna Cotta - a cooked cream  dessert with green tea powder FYI: If you click on the restaurant's link on top (the first link), the menu is currently not updated.
