Chicken, seasoned rice, daikon kimchee salsa, kimchee remoulade, toasted kim, nori, $3.50

I love the Korean tacos at Namu Gaji and at the Namu food stand previously. They’re packed with flavor and are a great departure from the typical Mission tacos. I will say that the nori was really hard to chew through this time around.

White tortilla soup - Velvet Cantina
Mildly spicy chicken jalapeno broth, shredded chicken, tortilla strips, sour cream empanada. $6.99
Velvet Cantina, San Francisco CA

Mmm, this was delicious and I loved the fun sour cream empanada floating on top. That’s a new one for me! The soup had a lot flavor – it could have been spicier for me but that’s a minor complaint.

Chicken tikka masala & lamb curry thali plate - Kasa Indian Eatery
Char-grilled and marinated naturally-raised chicken in a spicy, creamy tomato sauce. Saucy grass-fed lamb and potatoes. A homestyle Indian platter with one or two of the dishes listed below, roti (handmade bread), slow-simmered daal (lentils), rice, veggie salad, chutneys and raita (yogurt). $11.95
Kasa Indian Eatery, San Francisco CA

Every once in a while, I crave Indian food from Kasa. I’ve been getting the thali plates recently instead of the roti rolls probably because I’m a pig, lol! I think the chicken tikka masala and lamb curry is my favorite combination because they’re both saucy and perfect for mixing and dipping.

Chicken tikka masala - Bombay Indian Restaurant
Barbecued chicken cooked with a unique blend of spices, with tomatoes and onions in a creamy sauce. $11.95
Bombay Indian Restaurant, San Francisco CA

I guess I’ve never really had a bad chicken tikka masala although I’ve had some that were on the verge of being too tomato-y. Bombay’s version was pretty tasty and had plenty of the delicious sauce. I just wish they would throw in a few more chicken pieces.

Waimea chicken wings - Margaritaville
Covered with a sweet Thai chili sauce, served with celery sticks and bleu cheese dressing. $11.99
Margaritaville, Las Vegas NV

Meh, these fried chicken wings were passable. They were really small and slightly dry. I did like the Thai chili sauce even though it probably came out of a bottle…

16 piece family order – Heaven Sent Fried Chicken

16 piece family order - Heaven Sent Fried Chicken
Mix of regular and spicy (only 1 box shown), comes with 6 rolls. $31.55
Heaven Sent Fried Chicken, Seattle WA

Apparently Ezell Stephens, a former partner of Ezell’s, has opened this new chain of fried chicken eateries due to legal battles. I’ve never actually tried Ezell’s on First Hill even though it’s one of Oprah Winfrey’s favorite Seattle sites, so I wasn’t going to pass up a chance to try the same fried chicken served from Stephens’ re-named restaurant. The chicken was VERY juicy and tender but I was expecting it to have a little more flavor (I was even eating the spicy variety). It was very good, but probably not the best fried chicken I’ve ever had.

Mole negro oaxoqueno – La Carta de Oaxaca

Mole negro oaxoqueno - La Carta de Oaxaca
The house specialty. Black mole with chicken, served with white rice and tortillas. $11
La Carta de Oaxaca, Seattle WA

Omg, this was the smallest portion of chicken I have ever received at a restaurant. It was a small chicken thigh with the bone in so you even couldn’t count the volume of the bone! What a joke – this was more a snack than a proper lunch. While the mole was tasty and there was a lot of it on the plate, there was very little protein to enjoy it with. When I have money to throw away, I may return to dine here…

Chicken cabbage salad - Dinosaurs
Shredded chicken with green and red cabbage, carrots, daikon, and rau rum. Served with crushed roasted peanuts, fried shallots, and a sweetened lime-fish sauce dressing. $5.75
Dinosaurs, San Francisco CA

I liked this salad, but the chicken wasn’t as good as the kind they put in their banh mi’s. But everything tastes better with that lime-fish sauce on top!

Chicken katsu and vegetable buns - Izakaya Yuzuki
Sunday special. Fried chicken with marinated vegetables and greens. $10
Izakaya Yuzuki, San Francisco CA

These chicken buns weren’t on the menu, but I saw the table next to us receive an order so I asked if we could get some too. It was their special so that’s why it wasn’t in print. Omg, these were amazing! The chicken was tender and juicy, but the saucey vegetables were the best part. They had SO much flavor!
