Taiwanese style beef noodle soup at the Paris in Vegas. A decent amount of spice, especially after a couple of teaspoons of sambal! T
That's the new Taipei street food place, Yong Kang Street, right? How was it? Did you try anything else?
That's the place! We got in late, and were looking for good, fast and hot. This place ticked all the boxes. It was listed as spicy, but not really. However, they had sambal on the table, so a few scoops of that did the trick. Wife had the sesame chicken noodle bowl. It was good, not as good as the Taiwanese beef soup. Service was very quick, always a plus after a long flight. We didn't eat anything else, but the couple next to us tried the dumplings and we're happy with them. I'd eat there again...T
Thanks. The dining options are always limited at 2 am - even on the Strip - so I was happy to read about this place a while back. Sounds like a decent, affordable alternative to the usual stuff that's open at that time, either diner food (Café Bellagio, Aria Café, etc) or expensive/heavy steak house fare at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant.
Exactly. Especially on week nights. Miracle Mile and Planet Hollywood have some interesting places, but they seem to close early. I didn't want to navigate across the street for Secret Pizza at Cosmo. Eiffel Tower is a great location, if you get a seat with a view of the Bellagio fountains. Food is OK. I have to admit though that souffles, sweet and savory, at Eiffel Tower are great. But, I didn't feel like dropping a wad of cash, for a late night meal...T
Haven't done it this year yet. Usually about once or sometimes twice per year my Brother and I, hit Vegas. Neither of us like sitting on a beach, or even a hotel pool. We don't shop. We don't gamble. We do however like to eat. One of the best places in the world for eating is Vegas. Bonus its close. Its our favorite mini vacation spot. Lunch we keep it simple and sort of light. Save appetite for dinner! quick and easy lunch Capriotti's Sandwich Shop | Home Page or Best Pizza in Las Vegas - Biaggio's Pizzeria only problem with this you need a car Both close early. Or we'll get lunch at In and Out.
That looks great. I've only been to Vegas once, but we stayed at the Paris and had an amazing time. We went to one of the clubs there that had great views of the Eiffel tower. I was so impressed by the bartender, never had to wait and he always remembered what I was drinking.
This was the special here. Steak sandwich. Not bad but was far from the best steaks I've had. Image Unavailable, Please Login
It was good. We like it here because of the central location. Can see the Bellagio fountains & gardens & shops, close to Miracle Mile shops, Cosmo, etc...T
We come mostly for the food as well. Wife likes a little flutter now and then. Not me. We got married here, that was a big enough gamble for me! We like to come back to where the adventure began. 😃 I've been to Capriotti's in Beverly Hills. Great sammie. I think our friends took us to Biaggio's. Looks like the pictures on the web site, but it was years ago...T
Yesterday was a great meal. Chicken with Cajun spice, mashed potatoes and asparagus Image Unavailable, Please Login
Pizza! Pagano taco pizza. Strange call. Very heavy accent. "this is officer such and such from Revenue Canada, you owe us $3,000 if you don't pay immediately we'll come arrest you" Me: "Rev Can doesn't call unless they are returning your phone call. They send letters until you pay" They: "I'm sending another officer to arrest you pay now" me "Rev Can doesn't identify themselves as law enforcement officers." Rev can has no arrest powers." I hung up. Besides I don't think Rev Can calls at 9pm. Man can't believe people fall for them
Yeah, government workers calling at 9 p.m. LOL. Tonight Mon Ami Gabi. I get what I always get. Hanger steak. Merlot sauce. Mashed taters instead of the usual pomme frittes. Pretty good. T
Found a new butcher shop for deli meats. They had prime rib burger patties. So firing up the grill and making them.
Man, that sounds awesome. Having a good old fashioned butcher shop nearby is worth its weight in gold. Tonight was homemade pizza. One with onions and bell pepper. One with fuzzy fish (anchovies) for our friend and I. And, a dessert pizza - nutella, fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Washed down with prosecco...T
I just noticed them yesterday. The closest store beside Walmart is almost a 15 minute drive each way. I like to be fast. Run in grab stuff and get out. So its extra convenient as they are 5 to my house. I buy groceries daily. Cook meats same night or next day at most. I try to avoid freezing.
Yep. I still use your recipe. Thanks!! Lately, when I make dough fresh, I've been using tipo 00 flour, which may be overkill, but it's good. About the only mod I've done is to make the dough the day before, and let it proof overnight in the fridge, in a Ziploc bag. Wife's colleague suggested that. Don't know if it makes the pizza dough better, but having it pre-made allows me to focus on the toppings, my guests, etc...T
I'd love to do that. Indeed, I used to do daily shopping when I was single. I picked up the habit from my grandma. She'd shop every morning for whatever she was cooking that night...T
Haha funny enough that makes me feels good. I'm glad you enjoying it. It does make an amazing pie especially because it is hand made.
Here's the spread my wife whipped up for my birthday dinner last night. Kåldomar (stuffed cabbage rolls), meatballs, mashed rutabaga, and green beans. Wasn't quite the same as my Mom or Granny made, but it was damn good! Image Unavailable, Please Login
