Fish taco – Crazy Coyote Tacos

Posted on April 12, 2012 by vicentesf

Project 365: Day 89

I really wish I was staying in a hotel closer to downtown and not near the airport in North Charleston. The food options in this area are limited, just fast food or chain restaurants. After work today, a co-worker and I ended up at Ruby Tuesday. Ugh, I’m gonna have to use the rental car and drive into the city soon for dinner.

This is my favorite taco at Crazy Coyote. The fish is a nice portion and perfectly cooked. I also love the addition of the cucumber dill sauce!

Chicken taco – Crazy Coyote Tacos

Project 365: Day 88

Flew to Charleston today through Dallas. It was kind of a full day of travel, but was able to get in early enough to check in with work and make it to the hotel. I was starving so I ended up at Waffle House nearby. Oi, this is going to be a long work trip!

I think 2 tacos is plenty for a small meal at Crazy Coyote. The thick tortillas definitely fill you up. I was glad to find out that the large pieces of chicken were still tender and juicy. They could have been a little more flavorful but these tacos are amazing nonetheless.

It’s all about the tortillas here! I don’t know if they’re homemade (they taste like it) but these tortillas are amazing! They’re thick and SO flavorful. The steak in this taco was kinda dry so I was glad that the salsa helped moisten the whole thing.

Wang’s dumpling combination – Wang’s in the Desert

Posted on April 5, 2012 by vicentesf

Project 365: Day 87

And the rain has come back to the Bay Area! Wow, it was raining cats and dogs this morning. Silverfox and I went to Toast Eatery for breakfast. I accidentally left my cell phone at home and missed Kryan’s international phone call, oops! I’ll have to catch up with him next weekend while I’m in Charleston. Gotsta go into work for a couple of hours today then finish packing for tomorrow. We’re gonna try Jake’s, the new restaurant on Market Street, for dinner tonight. Not looking forward to my early flight tomorrow. 😦

Steamed dim sum platter Wang's in the Desert

Lamb and rosemary – ground lamb with chopped rosemary, garlic and onion. Shichimi spiced beef – Angus beef, water chestnuts, napa cabbage and onion. Curried chicken – ground white meat chicken, mushrooms, onions and ginger (2 pieces each). $10
Wang’s in the Desert, Palm Springs CA

Ugh! These dumplings were SO dry and the wrappers were kinda rubbery. Don’t the descriptions look great though? Too bad the kitchen couldn’t execute them properly.

Road trip snack – Jack in the Box

Posted on April 3, 2012 by vicentesf

Project 365: Day 83

I’m still struggling to complete my work trip travel authorization on our systems without all the information I need. I’ll have a co-instructor but he hasn’t been very helpful either. Oh well, at least my gym workouts have been going well. I’ve been somewhat unmotivated, but I’m still trying to push myself. I don’t think there will be much of a gym at my hotel in Charleston so I’ve got to get in some quality workouts before then.

Crispy egg roll (1 pc) filled with diced pork, cabbage, celery, carrots, onions, and spices and served with sweet and sour dipping sauce.
Jack in the Box, Kettleman City CA

Silverfox and I had this less than stellar fast food meal on one of our road trips down to Palm Springs. It’s fast food, what can you do?!

This thing is super starchy, but familiar. Meh.

Crispy chicken nuggets (5 pcs) with bbq sauce.

Grilled white meat chicken strips (5 pcs) served with teriyaki dipping sauce.

Chicken tikka masala burrito – Curry Up Now

Posted on March 13, 2012 by vicentesf

Project 365: Day 63

The weather has been really nice lately so Papa Chang and I went to grab some food at the food trucks. I really wanted to try a chicken tikka masala burrito so we swung by the Curry Up Now. We arrived early and were 2nd in line. Once we ordered there were already 10 people behind us. The couple behind us ended up ordering more than 20 things for their office. I’m SO glad we weren’t behind them, lol!

Chicken tikka masala burrito Curry Up Now

Morning fresh La Palma 12″ flour tortilla filled with methi pulao (fenugreek and turmeric rice), chana masala (garbanzo beans), and pickled onions with Fulton Valley organic chicken breast tikka masala (CTM). $8
Curry Up Now, Brisbane CA

The burrito is fairly large and filled with large pieces of chicken breast. I wasn’t all that impressed with it overall though. I liked the hint of heat in the sauce, but I think there was too much rice and there was also a lot of sweet flavor. It’s worth a try, but I’m not running back for more.

This burrito was nice and big!

Samosa and mango lassi – Curry Up Now

Posted on March 13, 2012 by vicentesf

At the food truck, you can add a samosa + mango lassi combo for $4.
Curry Up Now, Brisbane CA

Yes, the outside was a little greasy, but this deep fried morsel was delicious! I’m not completely sure what was in it, but I think it was spiced potatoes, onions, garbanzo beans.

Papa Chang called these samosas “starch balls”. He was right…

The mango lassi (yogurt-based drink) was creamy with a little tartness. I put a little of the yogurt sauce in it. Very refreshing!

Spanish tortilla – Canela

Posted on March 12, 2012 by vicentesf

Layers of creamy potato, egg and onion, side salad. Tapa $7
Canela, San Francisco

I love Spanish tortillas, and this was pretty good but the portion was a little on the small side even considering that it was a “tapa” size. They could have done away with the salad “garnish” and had larger slices of the tortilla instead.

Alambre taco – El Huarache Loco

Posted on March 2, 2012 by vicentesf

Mexico City style taco. Organic corn tortilla topped with bacon, chorizo asada, bell peppers, melted mozzarella cheese, cilantro, onions, and salsa. $2.75
El Huarache Loco, San Francisco

Wow, this taco had everything on it! Don’t know if I remember melted mozzarella cheese in there, but there looks to be queso fresco in there instead. This monster had SO much flavor, but I will admit that it was greasy! It’s definitely worth a try though. It’s pretty big so 2 of them would make a large enough meal for me. Mmm!

Sizzling cumin lamb – Mission Chinese Food

Posted on February 28, 2012 by vicentesf

Salt and peppered lamb belly, chili-pickled long beans, onions, jalapenos, cilantro, green onions, bay leaves. $13
Mission Chinese Food, San Francisco

Wow, the pieces of lamb belly (with bones attached) are SO fatty, but delicious! I love the flavors of this dish but there are way too many onions! I wish there was more of the long beans actually and that the whole thing was a little spicier.

Niman Ranch cheeseburger – Fish & Farm

Posted on February 27, 2012 by vicentesf

Ground beef patty cooked medium with a fried farm egg, grilled onions, white cheddar, house made pickles, secret sauce, Acme bun, and French fries with fried parsley. $14 plus $2 additional for egg
Fish & Farm, San Francisco

Yum, this thing was delicious! You might think – a burger is a burger is a burger. Not so! There are plenty of shitty burgers out there and you all know it! This burger was absolutely nommy. It was also very large and I could only finish less that 3/4 of it. I didn’t even eat the top bun. I scraped the secret sauce off of it and set it aside. Way too much carbs already with the French fries and all.

The beef was so good and I loved their homemade pickles. Every part of that burger was good. The French fries was also delicious and I really like their dipping sauce. It took us awhile to figure out what it was, but I think we decided it was a horseradish bbq sauce. What a great combination! It was on the runny side, but it tasted great.

Deoji bulgogi – Jang Su Jang

Posted on February 26, 2012 by vicentesf

Project 365: Day 52

So we had an early start today and went to the Gilroy Outlets to do some shopping for the cruise. I don’t even want to add up all my charges but I ended up with 3 pairs shoes, 6 pairs of socks, 2 polo shirts, 1 tank top, 1 belt, 1 pair of swim trunks, and 2 pairs of underwear. Omg, I got a little out of hand. Then we stopped by Jang Su Jang on the way back home. Papa Chang recommended this restaurant and I’m glad that we went because it was SO good! It’s in the middle of a shopping area on El Camino Real, but it’s actually really nice inside. The service was friendly, the prices are great, and the food is of great quality. Go try it!

Spicy marinated pork with sliced onions and green onions, served with rice and broth. $13.99
Jang Su Jang, Santa Clara CA

Omg, this was so good! I love spicy pork bulgogi and this was a amazing, sizzling plate of it. This version was fancier because they also served you a big bowl of crusted rice with peas and a bowl of soup broth. I’ve never been served the broth with bulgogi before so I wasn’t sure how to eat the whole thing.

We ended up just piling on spicy pork on top of the rice and pouring some of the broth over everything. Don’t know if that’s the right way, but we didn’t worry too much about it. We just stuffed our faces, lol!

This broth was very flavorful, and it had slices of cooked radishes.

When the check arrived, it came with these cute bottled drinks. I’m not sure what they were, but they tasted great. It had a kind of citrus, fruity, flowery flavor. It says “Frozen Dessert” on the outside but it’s some kind of juice.

The damage! We were SO full!
