YAY!
So I am officially caught up on my entries, at least the 7 by 7 list. Since this project started, I have eaten some really great things but my waist line is kind of mad at me. I need to work on that....at least I have one thing checked off.
Papalote Mexican Grill
The chips and salsa was on the list of 100 things to try before you die. And I am glad I am able to check this one off, there is something really good about the salsa. I know they make it with roasted tomatoes but there is something else there, that I can't put my finger on it. I guess I will just use it to lick the salsa container clean. This place is also known for their triple threat burrito. It has chicken, shrimp and steak...that could be dangerous.
Anthony's Cookies
I had the cookies and cream cookie and well I have to say it was good but I have had better. Don't get me wrong it's a good cookie but I am not sure why it is on 7 by 7's list. The cookie did have the crunchy outside and chewy middle which was really yummy. I preferred the toffee chip cookie.
Kings Bakery Cafe
Maybe I just have been spoiled but the coconut buns are kind of overrated. They are good and the bread is soft and the coconut isn't overly sweet. It is well worth the 50 cents.
Humphry Slocombe
The secret breakfast flavor is made up of bourbon and cornflakes (breakfast of champions). You can definitely taste the bourbon and a hint of saltiness from the cornflakes. It is creamy and the texture from the cornflakes and kick from the bourbon does add a nice surprise. Get it on the cone, the crunchiness only adds to the flavor of the ice cream.
San Tung
So these chicken wings, I am not quite sure how I feel about them. They are good and the sauce is something familiar but there is also something different about it. It tastes kind of like a sweet and spicy sauce but there's a crunch to the sauce as well. It's like some of the sugars have caramelized. I think this one might be another thing that has become overrated but you should try it for yourself. I think I have been spoiled and I am just picky about my Chinese food. But I would recommend giving it a try.
Balompie Cafe
The pupusas are delicious. The pork and cheese one is really good. We also got the ground beef and cheese but it is pretty close to the pork and cheese. I would stick with the pork one because it's a bit cheaper. All of the pupusas are cheap.
I am kinda of shock to say this but I want to go back and try the veggie and cheese one. I think it just might be better than the meat and cheese one, considering I am in a constant fight with veggies. Eat the slaw and the pupusa together, the tanginess from the slaw combined with the rich melty goodness of the cheese is literally a party in your mouth. The girl that works the counter is super sweet
