I was looking for something different for lunch, so I decided to give Nepalese food a try. this was very good and different. The sauce on the gurkha chicken was delicious and I loved the firm texture of the MoMo dumplings.

I really enjoyed this (even though my arteries say “no”!). The country steak was nicely fried and the gravy was tasty. The hash browns were also nice and crispy and not greasy. NOMS!
Yuk kae jang. With sliced beef, sprouts, green onion, mushroom, and noodles. $9

This was decent. I liked the heat, but it was more bland than I expected considering all the Korean flavors. The beef was a little tough, but it still made for a hearty lunch item.
Slow rotisserie roasted pork with house made onion marmalade, fresh arugula, herbed sea salt and served on an Acme Bakery roll. $9.50
Roli Roti Gourmet Rotisserie, San Francisco CA
This sandwich is as good as ever. The porchetta seems to be even fattier these days (which I’m not gonna complain about) and just packed with flavor. I love this as a special treat every once in a while.

Large round pizza with pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushroom, onions and green peppers. $10

This pizza was pretty good for Little Caesars. I guess I haven’t had Little Caesars pizza since I was a kid, but I’ve never expected much from them. This was decent though and actually tasted good. The service was a hot mess at the store though!

With beef. $4.59
Del Taco, Palm Springs CA
Ugh, I didn’t like these nachos at all! I’m all for gross, fake fast food nachos, but these were really chemically and extra un-natural tasting. Their nacho cheese was really gross. I don like that they put jalapeno slices on top though.

Lappert’s Ice Cream, Palm Springs CA
Mmm, this was the first time I’ve tried Dole whip and I thought it was great! Most go to Hawaii or Disneyland, but I found it in Palm Springs! Next time I’m in Hawaii I’ll have to keep my eyes open for it (without having to go to the Dole plantation).
