Food Adventure #30

Greetings!!

As is typical for me and The Boo, we went out for dinner and a movie last night. Steak & Shake was our first choice, but it was crazy busy and I don't know about your local one, but they're known for being really slow at mine. By the by... You MUST try the red velvet shake. Its just... Just... There are no words really. Just go try it!

Next up was Chili's.. Now I love me some Chili's. I have fond memories of going there every Friday night in college with my friends. It was pretty much like going to the club in comfortable clothes and eating really good food. However, it was busy too so on on to the next one...

It was concluded that we were to eat at Waffle House and then a glorious green sign beckoned. It was Wok Asian Stir Fry and both The Boo and I were up for the adventure!

Yet again.. My theory about hole in the walls having the best food was proven to be correct! I ordered the Bourbon chicken, fried rice, and spring roll and it did not disappoint! I put soy sauce on the rice, but quite frankly it didn't even really need it. Me and spring rolls have never really been friends because a lot of times they are tasteless, but this one was good. This meal reminded me of that really good Chinese food you can get in any mall. Don't sleep on the Chinese mall food. It' good!

 

Okay so, if you have yet to try a non-bigbox restaurant then you must.. I know its going to look a little seedy and you might question your safety somewhat, but go ahead and try one. (Make sure you look at the restaurant health inspection grade) You'll be fine and be glad you did. :)

Have you had a food adventure lately or Eaton at Wok Asian Stir Fry? Tell me all about it!

Ciao!

Hell Yes! It's Sushi Thursday.. Bento Box Edition.

Greetings friends!

That's right!?! Two blog posts in one week! For some reason or another, most everyone at my job was in a crappy mood today. Maybe it was because it's a short work week, and everybody knows that short work weeks take much longer than your run of the mill 5 day week. It's like because you got to skip a day, the week is supposed to feel like you only worked two days instead of four, but working four days feels like five days anyway! 

I, on the other hand was looking forward to Food Adventure #28, known as 'Hell yes! It's sushi Thursday!' Keep in mind that I've only had sushi at the most like 2 other times than this, so I am by no means a pro. However I was still excited to try something new. Me and a co-struggler went to this quaint place called Kazu and had sushi on our lunch break.

It's one of those places that you're not totally sure about, but since it's kinda small you know that Grandma or Auntie is in the back making the meals and everything is gonna be alright. The kool thing about Kazu is that they have both Chinese & Japanese food all in the same restaurant. There were so many options to chose from and I loved it!

I decided to go with the deliciousness that is the Bento Box! But first came the egg roll appetizer on a cute little platter. Now if you like Chinese food, you know that all egg rolls are not created equal............... I am a total carnivore, so normally I like a little pork in mine, but this had none and was still superb!   

Next was the great Bento Box!!! Gotta love a lot of choices right!? It came with crab rangoon, yummy red sauce, 4 California rolls, a hellava lot of fried rice, and teriyaki chicken with onions bathed in soy sauce!! To die for.. Total repeat performance...

I don't know if it was because we were the only ones in there, but the staff was very sweet and nice, and the food came quickly as well. Seeing as in they aren't too far away from me in general, I will be going back to grace them with my presence and hard earned duckets in the near future!

I think the next time I go, I will mix it up and stick to all sushi and get the full sushi experience. Did you have a food adventure today too? Let me know!

*Peace*
