Kizami nori, scallion, bamboo, fried noodles. $4
The Ramen Bar, San Francisco CA
These deviled eggs were a special for the day, so I had to get them. They were actually pretty tasty, and I loved the seaweed and Japanese flavors. Yum!

Nong’s Khao Man Gai, Portland OR
Wow, I heard good things about this place and I was glad to find out that it lived up to the hype! This chicken and rice was delicious. The chicken was so tender and juicy and the rice was great on its own. I loved the salted sauce and the chicken broth too. NOMS!
Meatballs in chicken broth, pepe pasta, spinach, onions, carrot. Glass of red wine. Complimentary
American Airlines Admirals Club, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
This soup was ok. It was pretty much standard airline lounge fare so the bar isn’t set very high. It’s definitely better with a glass of wine. 🙂
Spit-roasted pulled chicken, avocado, black bean puree, jalapeno slaw, bourbon bbq sauce, on toasted ciabatta. $10.95
Split Bread, San Francisco CA
I liked the flavors of this sandwich, but the chicken was on the dry side. I think that’s been a theme every time I’ve been to Split Bread. The proteins have always been dry. Not good…
White mole. Bar seating $180
Pineapple & Pearls, Washington DC
Mmm, these fried sweetbreads were perfect! I love the portions and the fried herbs. This little taco was super delicious and had so many fun textures.
Har gow. $4.50
Dim Sum King Seafood Restaurant, Toronto CANADA
These were nice and plump, but it didn’t forgive the ridiculously horrible service. Never again!! #FAIL
Slow smoked brisket, served with pit-smoked beans. $11.95
Memphis Minnie’s, San Francisco CA
Mmm, I love the beef brisket at Mephis Minnie’s! It’s super tender and very flavorful. I will admit that some of the pieces were on the dry side this time around. They certainly put plenty of brisket in this sandwich. Noms!
Two eggs scrambled, hashbrowns, toast. $12.59
Island Cafe, Oak Harbor WA
This was ok. I liked the country fried steak, but the gravy wasn’t my favorite. It tasted too much of flour. The scrambled eggs tasted good though.
Toasted waffle filled with caramel, cinnamon and bourbon vanilla. Served with coffee. Complimentary
Dulles (IAD) to Chicago (SFO), United Airlines
United has been giving these out for a while now, and I really like them. They’re not too sweet and I like its soft, chewy texture.
With shrimp and linguisa. MP
La Cosecha Bar and Restaurant, Paso Robles CA
This paella was very yummy. I loved that it was saucy (not very traditional and more like a risotto). The linguisa made it nice and smoky and the shrimp were cooked nicely. Yum!
Teriyaki-glazed patty topped with grilled pineapple, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and mayo. Served with onion rings. $9.99
Red Robin, Sterling VA
This used to be my favorite burger at Red Robins when I was growing up. My tastebuds have change since then, but I still enjoy this burger since it brings me back. I do love their onion rings though!
Shortbread chocolate chip cookie, coffee, water. Complimentary
Porter Airlines Lounge, Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ)
I like that the gate area at this airport has complimentary drinks and snacks. I think more airlines should do this. It’s super convenient and people were actually respectful about not taking too much food.
