Rib Eye Steak - Sizzler

$20.99 + Tax

At $19.99, the rib eye steak at this restaurant came with the choice of only one side, so I chose the baked potato with butter and chives. I also added the mushrooms for an additional $1.00.  I'm happy with the money I spent because the steak was pretty tasty and it was a good cut of meat that didn't have the taste of game or the hint of stinky smell that I so often found in meats that were served in so many restaurants.  I loved the char-grill aroma and taste of the steak which in my opinion was perfectly seasoned.  I guess I just have to pay more for this grade of meat?  It's worth it though.

The baked potato was great and so were the mushrooms.  I enjoyed this meal very much, which I didn't expect to be this good,  since this is a chain restaurant.

Prime Beef Shabu - King Shabu Shabu

$22 + Tax I love Shabu-Shabu.  I can have this for lunch and dinner everyday if only I can afford to.  I don't cook but I love this cook-it-yourself table top cooking format at a Shabu-Shabu restaurant. I was never a fan of this dining format until I discovered this restaurant .  I had visited a few Shabu places before but I never liked it.  Back then, I felt the meat was gamy, and the dipping sauce too boring.  I used to think Shabu was bland and overall not that appetizing.  But this place completely changed my feeling for Shabu-Shabu.  I think the quality of the ingredients really make a huge difference.  The meat here is of very high quality!  The ponzu sauce and goma (sesame) sauce here are the best tasting dipping sauces I've had among all Shabu places.   A meal like this may look easy to replicate at home, but not really.  I did try a few times but it was never as good.  I wasn't able to get the ponzu and...

Iced Coffee With Coffee Jelly - Hamadaya

Image
$3.55 + Tax I would like to avoid coffee after work, but I couldn't help it when I was shopping for dinner to go. I felt so tired and thirsty after my commute from work.  I just felt like having some coffee to recharge me even though drinking coffee in the evening is not really a healthy lifestyle. So I ordered the coffee jelly over milk with a shot of espresso at this bakery cafe before I began my dinner shopping.  I was just curious when I saw this on the menu.  May be a lot of people like to have jelly in their coffee, I personally don't care for coffee with boba or jelly.  I prefer not to have anything that isn't liquid in my coffee but I'm neutral about it.   The jelly in this coffee tasted like black coffee and I guess it was made with black coffee.    In terms of taste, this isn't my most favorite coffee drink.  It tasted okay to me. I don't hate it, but I'm not in love with it.  It did wake me up though and as I am typing...

Popcorn Chicken Bento - Mindi's Kitchen

Image
$8.95 + Tax I'm back to Mindi's Kitchen tonight simply because I'm hungry and  craving for  some Taiwanese comfort food that reminds me of the home-cooked meals that I had when I was visiting Taiwan.  I'm not Taiwanese, but I have Taiwanese friends who introduced me to their food that I instantly fell in love with.  Taiwanese popcorn chicken is one of those signature Taiwanese snacks that also make great meals.  Yes, they are a lot more delicious than the typical American popcorn chicken.  And yes, they are much better tasting than the McNuggets.  I never understood the appeal of McNuggets.  I never liked McNuggets even when I was a kid who loved to visit McDonald's.   My parents also hated the nuggets.  May be my dislike for McNuggets is genetic. But I definitely love Taiwanese popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken at Mindi's is so tasty and crispy tender, and it's served with my choice of sauce. I chose the spicy sauce ...
