I went to Thai X-ing with a friend who had a car because otherwise, I don’t think I would have ever had a chance to try it. Their menu can be found here.
Food: We ordered spring rolls which I didn’t love because I thought they were a bit bland. But everything else we ordered was so good! [...]

I’ve walked by House of Kebob a million (literally) times and only recently went in to try it out. Their menu can be found here and here.
Food:I ordered a lamb shish kebob which was served on home-baked pita with lettuce, tomatoes, and peppers. The photo, if I may say so myself, makes it look amazing. [...]

While I wasn’t able to try out their free salad, I was looking forward to trying Chop’t.
Food:I ordered the Kebab Cobb Salad (not on their take-out menu but on their menu board at the restaurant) with romaine, red onions, crispy flat bread, Goat Cheese (didn’t have Feta that day), and vinaigrette dressing. You also get [...]

I have found my new favorite restaurant. This is ridiculously good food at an insanely cheap price. Why haven’t people been talking about this place more often?
Food:I’ve been here twice in a week and yet I continue to find new and yummy items on their menu. I feel like I haven’t even scratched the surface [...]

I was going with a friend to World Market to pick up a case of this really great $6 bottle of wine.
Basically, 2005 was a great year for Cabernet Sauvignon so Hess Vineyards decided to create a label to sell some of this extra product. The wine is called XS ‘05 and for $6, it’s perfect [...]

Feeling like something different for lunch, I convinced a friend of mine to go with me to Rumi Restaurant.
Food:I went twice — once I went to their restaurant and the second time I ordered delivery. The first time, I ordered their chicken doner (first photo). It was really good, but there was no “Special Rumi [...]

When you’re looking for quick and decent Thai food in the Golden Triangle area, you go to Nooshi (formerly known as Oodles Noodles).
Food:Surprise! I usually order Pad Thai with tofu or chicken, but one day I thought I should try something different. So I got the Mee Goreng which is described as spicy marriage of [...]

Is it just me, or do you hate to cook on Fridays? Well, I hate it. So before I left my office, I thought I’d call in an order to City Lights of China for pick-up. Although I’ve walked by it a million times before, I’d never ordered anything.
Food: Don’t judge, but I ordered a lot of food [...]

I used to be a vegetarian after I read Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle (not Fast Food Nation, I don’t know why either…maybe I didn’t think it was as disturbing). Then one day, I wanted a burger and I haven’t looked back since.
But, I appreciate vegetarian food and was intrigued when I found out there was [...]

One day I was tried, hungry, and did I mention tired? So I didn’t want to make dinner and didn’t even want to stop on my way home one day to pick up dinner.
Instead, I ordered pizza. Knowing I really enjoyed Duccini’s, I also wanted to try Alberto’s Pizza, since I had heard good things. Yeah…
Food:I [...]

I love food (as evident by this blog). But sometimes, I am craving sushi that’s quick, fast, and decent. Hence Wasabi Sushi.
Food:I ran into Wasabi Sushi for lunch to-go (photo below). They call it “take away” and offer a different menu than their normal restaurant menu. You get 5 pieces (versus the usual 6) for the order, [...]

There are few things in the world that are better than a sushi joint that delivers. Tono Sushi is my favorite because they deliver pretty good sushi at a reasonable price.
Food:With a mix of Asian food, it’s all good. I’ve ordered Pad Thai, sushi, sashimi, nigiri, spring rolls, etc. All tasty. They also have sushi [...]

Another fantastic restaurant in the Golden Triangle area is Naan & Beyond. It’s simple and fast cuisine — plus, they’re open late during the weekdays! Menu links are below.
Naan & Beyond is a perfect place to grab and go, but in the summer, they also have a few tables outside.
Food: It’s simple, yet solid. [...]

I’m lazy, but more importantly, I’m car-less. So the last thing in the world I want to do is go and buy wine in a cab. Plus, I have a few different bottles that are my favorite and they’re tough to find in local stores.
The solution? The Wine Buyer.

One of my weaknesses is Thai food. I love it. Going to a new Thai restaurant is always exciting for me. I always order Pad Thai as my first entrée because if they make good Pad Thai, then everything else will be good. If their Pad Thai is bad, forget it. I’ll never go again.
