Endive and greens, fried egg, bacon, walnuts, fig, apple ginger vinaigrette. $11
Society Hill Society, Philadelphia PA
Ugh, after having to endure the slower-than-molasses service and this mediocre salad, it’s safe to say that I will probably never return to Society Hill Society. And don’t get me started on that egg! It didn’t know whether it should be fried, steamed, or poached (even though it’s advertised as fried). Can it get any more awkward?

Madras roasted duck breast, duck confit fried rice, duck egg, mandarin oolong reduction. $33
Morimoto, Philadelphia PA
I thought I would love this dish, but it actually kinda bored me. It was a lot of duck prepared different ways, but I wasn’t excited about any of the preparations. The fried rice was actually kinda dry and I wish that the duck egg was more runny. As it was, the egg was hard and lifeless. The roasted duck breast was pretty good, but I didn’t like the tea soaked lotus.

Bassetts Ice Cream, Philadelphia PA
This ice cream was very tasty! I loved the thick milky texture, and the flavors were very good. They weren’t super sugary which was nice.
