Smith and Wollensky

My first time at Smith and Wollensky was a good one. Above we have what my friend had which was a pan seared salmon due to his vegetarian diet. I had a few bites and I'd have to say it was pretty good regardless of the fact that it was a dish served with no sides :(

We ordered a side which was a side of hash browns. It was OK but needed salt and pepper. It was pretty pricey for a side...

Here we are. My steak had arrived last. And it was bigger than my head. I had a few bites and it was really buttery and savory. I was over whelmed with joy. It was the first steak I had out side of my moms cooking and even though I am used to a little Caribbean feel to my meat this was actually two thumbs up. I could no way in hell finish the whole thing so i decided to bring the rest home and make it onto something. Post will we added once I figure something to make.

Amber

 This has the be my favorite to go spots in the whole NYC Mid Town area.

Here we have my favorite appetizer in the whole world. It's called and Indian Pancake. It's fried dough with a small bowl of curry with sugar on the side. The carrot garnish is awesome ans fresh also. At only $5 I get two orders for myself, and if I'm with a group of people i usually order 3. 

 Here are spring rolls. They are not your average take out menu spring rolls. These have a unique sauce that just has the right tang and saltiness that just melts in your mouth, This a a must try.

 My friend had the Salmon Teriyaki for his entree. It came out on a sizzling tray which was cute. The smells were really pleasing to the senses. I had to get a taste of his entree and I was satisfied for his choice, LOL I usually scold my friend for having poor dinning choices when we go out. 

 There were of course saki bombs for happy hour and for $3 a pop we had more that 4 I believe but whose counting any way! They give you a nice buzz but after a few you kind of want a nice cold beer to satisfy the tease that these mini ones left in your mouth.

And last but not least we have these amazing vegetables dumplings. The sauce was to die for and the vegetables were tender but had an awesome bit to it. We had another order to share. It was really good. Nothing to really complain about this place besides the fact I never want to leave lol.

Happy Hour at Piquant

Posted on February 19, 2012

Hello all,

Have I not said how much I love to eat food! well I do and my most favorite thing to do is dine out and have a good time doing it. I also love to do it on a budget. Out with one of my good friends we decided to go to a local restaurant in Brooklyn. It’s call Piquant. We mainly went inside for the happy hour, mind you it was Saturday afternoon! The first picture below was one of a few drinks I had. It was a peach margarita frozen of-course with a splash of pineapple. My mouth was in heaven. No to mention the fact that it was only $4.50!!!

I had about three of those drinks. I could not have been happier. The second picture below was something I would surely not share with any one because it was just that good!. It was a garlic infused herb chicken roasted over white rice. It was so good I wanted another order but that would just have been gluttony.

I would definitely come here again for any occasion (happy hour or not). Everything was just perfect!

Lunch at Olive Garden

Hello World,

I usually don’t go to fast food chains like Olive Garden but when I did for lunch I was HAPPY!!! I went with an old friend to catch up on how things were moving along. We both got drinks of course. I had a drink with Peach forgot the name but boy was it good. She got the fresh Strawberry Daiquiri.

We shared fried lasagna omg my mouth is watering even at the thought of having it again. 

And this Caprese flat-bread was awesome. We ended up ordering a second round of each. We most-likely will be back for more another day.

Well I hope I helped some people open their eyes to joining Olive garden for some Lunch… Till next time, I suggest keeping a fork near by just for trying new and exciting foods.

Chip Shop Awesomeness!

I Love Fried food and when I found out that there was a place in Brooklyn that fried everything (even a shoe is they had to) I was floored.

Below we have fried mac and cheese. Now I'm one to have had fried mac from other places and thought it was mediocre but this was just pure awesomeness! There was enough cheese to macaroni ratio and frying it was like the icing on the cake. I ordered another one... yes I did :)

 Here we have the old Fish and Chip combo. I did not take a picture of the chips but the fish was really good. The batter was light. the cod was nice and flaky. I felt like I was eating a decadent pillow. Must try!!!!

 The Main Reason I Came HERE was the Fried PIZZA!!!!. And boy was I in for it. The pizza was so good. I'm more of a doughy pizza kind of girl with less sauce more cheese. This had the ratio I was looking for and then some. I mean to fry a slice of pizza is culinary genius! I was speechless and of-course I had another one!!!!!!

 Last but definitely not Least I had the only desert on the menu besides candy bars. Fried banana. Just looking at this picture makes my stomach growl. The chocolate sauce was a nice complement to that batter they use. I need to Know how to fry just about anything. Then I too will be a culinary genius!!
