I ate Chicken and Lamb.

I ate Sara Udon @ Menkui Tei
My favorite thing at Menku-Tei is definitely the Sara Udon…it has such a great mix of fresh ingredients.
the napa, the naruto, the shitake, the squid, the shrimp, the chicken, the snap peas…and the list goes on…
it just mixes soooo well together…can never get enough!

I ate a salad @ Costco
was a long day and was too tired to eat anything heavy…hit up a berry smoothie and tried their Chicken
ceasar salad. It was surprisingly good and fresh. 0_o

I ate Tomato Beef on Rice.
It’s nice after a long hard day at work to come home to some wonderful home cooking.
Baby Boks sauteed with garlic. Chinese sausage, Tomato Beef and onions on fresh hot white rice.
and amazing Chrysanthenomnom Tea.

I ate Fried Rice.
love taking left over rice, dice up some ham, throw in a scrambled egg and some scallions and peas.
stir it all up in a hot pan with oil and add salt to taste (no soy sauce for me) and voila…
loveliest.fried.rice.EVARRRRR.

I ate a Bagel
Love starting my mornings with a bagel from the Bagelette. Poppyseed with veggie cream cheese,
and a slice of lox. Nothing better than a hot cup of ying yeung to accompany this wonderful breakfast.

The Sandwich Chronicles
I made a sandwich:
Fresh Bread, Hellman’s Mayo, Deli Pickles, Pastrama, Roast Beef, American Cheese, and fresh Cilantro.
putting it all together and slicing some pickles.
When the bread is really fresh and soft, i don’t like to overload it with meat. A perfect balance….
soooooo gooooooooood. *tear

Return to Canton Gourmet
Canton Gourmet (ON)
PH: 718-886-928838-08 Prince Street
Flushing, NY 11354
It’s been a while since i’ve posted about this place, but i have eaten here quite often. There are certain cantonese dishes that i love to get from here, and whatever i dislike here, i like at High Pearl and vice versa. But this entry is really about the three things i absolutely love at this joint. hope you enjoy them too if you ever get the chance.
The Feast 
I always think its so funny that whenever i take a picture of the table everyone picks up their elbows in hopes of not getting in the way of the picture or drawing attention to themselves…but ultimately they end up drawing more attention to themselves if anything. LOL. Just act normal when i eat with you…especially when i take pics…candid shots are my favorites. lol.
Chinese Style Garlic Fried Chicken: $11.95 
I love getting this here…it’s always so fragrant, and i love putting a ton of the garlic/scallion medly into my hot bowl of rice with the juicy tender chicken…that’s always so hot and juicy…
Groper and Tofu Claypot: $11.95 
This is my favorite dish to get at Canton Gourmet…the fish, the shrooms, tofu, the veggies at the bottom are always perfectly cooked and perfectly flavored for me…I could eat this whole thing by myself…it’s THAT GOOD.
Famous Silver Golden Egg Fried Rice: $11.95 
And I’ve always loved specialty fried rices…but this one definitely takes the cake. It is to me the best fried rice i’ve ever had at a restaurant (please understand that when i say that this is the best i’ve had, this excludes all home cooked meals…as that just wouldn’t be fair.)
love the raisins and perfectly cooked egg…this rice compliments any and all dishes really well as its not overly salty or too bland.
Zee bill: 
Summation: As far as i’m concerned, my first review stands the same…This restaurant is a great place to grab a bite to eat…really good in large groups. The prices don’t bother me either.
I definitely recommend this place, whether busy or not, the food has been pretty consistent here.
CHEERS!

Blurry Pizza @ Nick’s Pizza
Nick’s Pizza
PH: 718-263-1126108-26 Ascan Avenue
Forest Hills, NY 11375
To be absolutly honest i’d never heard of Nick’s untill the Shrink had mentioned it to me and wanted to meet up there. JW1976 explained to me that itwas a part of the “Grimaldi Empire” and that i should like it since i’m so into neopolitan pizza. *shrug, WHY NOT? 
They don’t serve Stewie beers anymore. They serve Abita Beer, which is still really good…not as good as Capt’n Eli’s but good none the less. 
Our pizza came fresh, hot, and looked great…we got half sausage half plane…er plain. 
Shrink couldn’t wait and ninja’d a slice before i got to take a pic of the whole pie. LOL 
My slice…this was actually really good. crunchy bottom, stringy fresh cheese, great “not overly salty” sausage, and the fresh leaves were awesome. 
and of course Feisty Foodie always wants me to take a pic of the bottom of the slice…still don’t understand/know why… 
Summation: Sorry for the blurry pics of late…I’ve been lazy and only using my cell phone cam to take pics of food/eats. Nick’s was really good. love the atmosphere and love the area that it is tucked into. I’m definitely looking forward to go back and try other items on the menu. I highly recommend this place to grab a slice or on the go…as there were a ton of pickups for take out. WOOT!

Return to Cafe Triskell
Cafe Triskell
PH: 718-472-061233-04 36th Avenue
Astoria, New York 11105
So ever since the first time i’ve been here, i’ve always wanted to go back…FINALLY an opportunity and enough light to take decent pictures…still with cell phone woot, time to try some new things!!!!French Onion Soup: $6.75 
This is a must get everytime you’re here. MUST GET IN MOUF! (careful though, really hot.) Foie Gras: $14.95 
Was really good last time, was really good this time. Definitely recommend if foie gras is your cup of tea! Escargot: $8.95 
(Snails, prosciutto, herb butter) served with Toasted bread. Sorry no pics of the bread, but this is soooooo goood… the snails are soooooo succulent. best part is taking the toasted bread and dipping into the herb butter concoction…GENIUS! 
Mussels a la Nage: $18.95 
I admit, i’m a mussel fiend, and this place makes them really good. This is the dinner portion. and the french fries are to die for, you can ask them for ketchup or better yet…dip them in the mussel broth…*drooling on keyboard nao….
Dessert Crepes! 
Yesh, we were uber full…but there’s always room for dessert!!! lol. Poached Pear: $7.50 
This was really good, too much for me, but i think anyone that likes poached pear will love this crepe rendition. Lemon & Sugar: $4.75 
This is by far my favorite crepe here…no matter how full i am, i can definitely dog this…sooo goood…sooo lemony….sooo good…*tear. Le Bill: 
Summary: hahaha admittedly i think the only new items i tried was the escargot and the poached pear…both were a great addition to the items i love getting at this place. Though what i really want to try is their steak, crab cakes, duck….oh wait…i should just say the rest of the menu
I highly recommend this joint…it’s really great for dates and small groups of maybe 6 at most? Great environment, lovely neighborhood (on that street…don’t stray!
)CHEERS!!!!
