Chicken lettuce wrap - Jun Ming Xuan
A delicious bite topped with hoisin sauce. This dish tasted fresh and bright, and I appreciated the similarly sized cuts of all the ingredients in the chicken filling. Mmm!

K2 red telephone boxes, Broad Street, Covent Garden. These iconic telephone kiosks designed by Gilbert Scott are SO cute! I think it’s standard for any tourist of London to have their photo taken inside one of these British telephone booths.

Pancake "special" - Pifko Bar and Grill
Homemade potato pancakes baked with chicken, pork vegetables, mushrooms, and melted mozzarella. Domaci bramboracky s masovou smesi, zapecene s mozzarellou. €12.50
Pifko Bar and Grill, Dublin IRELAND

Another odd dish with some interesting flavors. The potato pancakes were plenty cooked and the melted mozzarella was a surprising addition. Perhaps I just need to immerse myself in Czech food so I can understand the flavors better.

Chicken and chorizo stuffed mushrooms – Firefly

Chicken and chorizo stuffed mushrooms - Firefly
Topped with cheese and chopped parsley. $5.50
Firefly, Las Vegas NV

Ew, these sucked! They were very dense, dry, flavorless and swimming in a pool of oil. A gross misstep!

Brunch plate 1 – Wicked Spoon Buffet

Posted on July 17, 2012 by vicentesf

Wicked fried chicken, grilled Korean beef spare rib, spicy orange garlic chicken. Brunch buffet $22
Wicked Spoon Buffet, Las Vegas NV

Twenty two bucks, heck yeah! And it includes a mimosa or bloody mary. Wicked Spoon is definitely one of the nicer buffets on The Strip. They have a good selection and I like how some of the dish come pre-portioned. The fried chicken was good, and the spare ribs was flavorful but tough. The orange garlic chicken wasn’t spicy and the breading was a little mushy but it still tasted good.

This was the first time I tried the turkey kebabs. They were pretty good with a nice flavor. I generally like my Indian food saucy, especially on a thali plate so of course I’m partially to their chicken tikka masala!

Mmm, I love the thali plate at Kasa! You get so much delicious food for a great price. Everything has a lot of flavor and the spicy great sauce is amazing.

Big Brother is watching you artwork, Market Street. I like that they decorated the construction pathway along this section. I don’t think Hollywood Billiards has ever been open since I’ve lived in this city.

The 3 Finger Combo – Raising Cane’s

The 3 Finger Combo - Raising Cane's
3 chicken fingers, fries, 1 Cane’s sauce, Texas toast, regular drink (Diet Coke).
Raising Cane’s, North Charleston SC

The 3 Finger Combo - Raising Cane's
We don’t have this fast food chain on the West Coast so I had to try it while I was in the Charleston area. It was pretty good as deep fried chicken strips go, and I really liked the Cane’s sauce. I’m still a little baffled by the Texas toast. It’s just so thick and buttery that I don’t know how it really fits into an already artery-clogging meal.

Sampler dinner – Captain D’s

Posted on July 7, 2012 by vicentesf

Classic batter dipped fish with 2 buttermilk breaded chicken tenders, 2 premium breaded shrimp, hush puppies, macaroni & cheese, and steamed broccoli. $5.28
Captain D’s Seafood Kitchen, North Charleston SC

Be still my heart and clogged arteries! This was A LOT of fried food, but I did get steamed broccoli so that makes it all ok, right? LOL! This plate was a mess. The fish was super greasy, the chicken strips and shrimp were super dry, and the broccoli was mushy. I did like the mac & cheese though.

2 item combo – Fung Lum Express

2 item combo - Fung Lum Express
With sweet and sour spare ribs, orange chicken, and vegetable fried rice.
Fung Lum Express, San Francisco (SFO)

The Chinese food here is sad and pathetic. If you want your week’s worth of sodium, then grab a plate at Fung Lum. The food quality is super low and most items are overcooked and dry. Lame!

Chicken shepherd’s pie – Cafe Flore

Chicken shepherd's pie - Cafe Flore
Chunks of chicken, English peas, carrots, house made mashed potatoes, chopped parsley. $8.95
Cafe Flore, San Francisco

This was ok. The filling was on the salty side and the mashed potatoes were a little bland. I guess we ordered this to soak up some of the alcohol we had consumed during Sunday Funday, lol!

SF Giants Tiger graffiti mural, 15th Street. I love the composition and colors in this artwork. It’s sinister and cute at the same time.

Herb roasted chicken - Firewood Cafe
1/2 rotisserie chicken marinated in olive oil, fresh sage, rosemary and garlic. Served with fire-roasted new potatoes and bread. $9.75
Firewood Cafe, San Francisco CA

I love the rotisserie chicken at Firewood. They’re always moist, tender, and full of flavor! It’s a great value and the potatoes make the perfect side.

Herb roasted chicken - Firewood Cafe
Another night, another 1/2 chicken! I’m such a creature of habit, lol!

Sweet tea brined NC chicken wings – The Bar at Husk

Posted on June 11, 2012 by vicentesf

With a smoked jalapeno and charred cilantro glaze, topped with chopped peanuts and green onions. $8
The Bar at Husk, Charleston SC

Ugh, such a disappointment! These wings had the crap fried out of them. They were SO dry that you really couldn’t taste much of the glaze. I can’t believe they actually sent this out!

United States Custom House. This large building looks a little out of place among the small businesses along East Bay Street and Market Street, but it looks pretty cool.
