Omg, I’m such a pig! But hey, we all crave burgers every once in a while, right? (Especially on the way home from the bars, hehe.)

Bubbly Berry: bubbles, berry, lemon, pomegranate and hibiscus. $8
Solaire Restaurant + Bar, Santa Cruz CA
I don’t know why I think that soju cocktails are ever going to please my palate. I always have a false sense of hope that I’ll finally like how they taste. Well, I was wrong yet again! Solaire doesn’t have a proper liquor license so they’re stuck with serving hard liquor replacement cocktails. Both of these were especially sweet and nauseating.

Breaded Korean style fried chicken thighs in a spicy and sweet sauce. Served iwth daikon non-spicy kimchee and a mixed green salad with strawberry dressing. $13.95
K-pop, San Francisco CA
Ugh, this chicken was kinda yucky! I guess I did like the flavor, but the chicken itself was really weird. I don’t think there was any actual meat in the fried chunks. It almost seemed like it was all fried skin and filler. The pieces broke apart like fried chicharrones with lots of fat under the skin. I was not impressed. The best part was the daikon kimchee. I wouldn’t have minded the salad, but the strawberry dressing grossed me out. I would have preferred it undressed if they had told me that it was gonna arrive with pink goo all over it.
