Seasonal pickles – Barzotto
Cauliflower, carrots, bell peppers. $2
Barzotto, San Francisco CA
I love pickled vegetables and these were really good. They were too pickled so they still had a nice crunch to them. Yum!
Salatim – Zahav
Daily vegetable salads. Mesibah menu $53 per person
Zahav, Philadelphia PA
I couldn’t believe that they brought all of this out as part of the starters! Omg, there was SO much, and they were all really different and delicious! I don’t remember them all, but I remember liking the beets a lot.
Brussels sprouts – Ambar
Lemon and garlic yogurt, bacon. RW Deal, $35 per person
Ambar, Washington DC
This was really delicious. I loved the yogurt sauce and the brussels sprouts were very flavorful.
Antipasto vegetariano – Napoletano’s Pantheon
Assorted grilled vegetables. €10
Napoletano’s Pantheon, Rome ITALY
This was probably the healthiest thing we’ve eaten in a while during this trip, lol! But it was much need and actually pretty tasty. And the setting in front of the Pantheon was simply amazing!
House red wine.
Grilled farmers market vegetables – Chicken Ranch
Zucchini, bell peppers, asparagus. $5
Chicken Ranch, Palm Springs CA
These were great and a very good value. I liked that they pieces were large and the grill marks were perfect and I loved the char.
Curry tonkatsu – Wasabi Bistro
Fried pork cutlet with curry, vegetables and rice. With additional tempura side. $12
Wasabi Bistro, San Francisco CA
Japanese curries can be really rich and heavy, but this dish was nice and balanced. I liked the addition of the vegetables to help neutralize the richness of the curry sauce and fried pork. And you can’t say no to pickled daikons!
Fried shrimp and assorted vegetables.

Teriyaki chicken plate – Ono Hawaiian BBQ
Grilled boneless chicken with house teriyaki sauce, served with two scoops of rice, one scoop macaroni salad, and vegetables.
Ono Hawaiian BBQ, San Francisco CA
Meh, I wasn’t too impressed with this. The chicken was a bit dry and the teriyaki sauce too salty. I think I’ll stick to their regular bbq items next time.

Chicken and beef combo plate – Ono Hawaiian BBQ
Bbq chicken and bbq beef, served with two scoops of rice, one scoop macaroni salad, and vegetables.
Ono Hawaiian BBQ, San Francisco CA
Ugh, the beef was really dry and gristly! The chicken was ok. I appreciate that Hawaiian bbq is fatty but I think these were especially greasy, yuck. The scoop of macaroni salad did help to ease my disappointment.

Honey lemon chicken – Holy Cow!
Grilled chicken quarter with garlic rice and vegetables.
Holy Cow!, Manila PHILIPPINES
The chicken tasted fine, a little dry in some parts. But the yellow plate really bothered me for some reason. I thought it was an unfortunate color to serve food on especially with an ill-fitting cast iron plate on top.
War time flag of the Philippines, Malacanan Palace. During war (I don’t remember which one – it was a long tour), the Philippines swapped the positions of the red and blue sections of the flag, rarely done by any other country.
Chicken inasal – Philippine Airlines
Grilled chicken, steamed vegetables, rice, chicken jicama salad, dinner roll, mango parfait. Complimentary
Manila (MNL) to San Francisco (SFO), Philippine Airlines
Chicken inasal is a well known Ilonggo dish of marinated chicken that’s grilled. I don’t think I’d ever had it before, but this airplane version wasn’t very good. I don’t know what spices they used, but it was kind of sour and unpleasant tasting. I’m not sure how authentic the PAL version was, but I don’t think I’d eat it again if that was how it was supposed to taste.

Paraiso curry chicken – Paraiso Grill
Delicious creamy coconut milk, curry to taste and vegetables. 250 PHP
Paraiso Grill, Boracay PHILIPPINES
I think it’s funny when menus say things like “curry to taste”, as if they would add curry not to taste. Perhaps it’s just poor translation but it’s cute. This dish was ok, I wasn’t blown away or even impressed really. I did like that there were plenty of vegetables.
