OMG Burger Truck

a few weeks ago, I was at SactoMofo and had a Chuck Norris Burger from the OMG Burger Truck. ever since then I've wanted to go back to try their other items. I finally caught up with them today and got this:

what's that madness you ask? it's their OMG Pink Taco - steak, fries (yes! fries) cilantro, onions, jalapeños, salsa ... it's hot!

I'll be back for more.

hong kong islander

one of my favorite indulgences is dim sum. I LOVE this stuff. luckily, Sacramento has a fairly good selection of dim sum restaurants. I recently tried Hong Kong Islander off of Freeport. my first experience was mixed. food was delicious. service... well, not so great. I thought it must have been an off day so I returned for a second go. luckily, food was still good, and service was much better.

So, next time you're looking for a brunch/lunch place, consider some dim sum. and oh, don't forget your friends.

fox and goose

want to enjoy a traditional english pub? well, supposedly this is it. (I couldn't tell you what a "traditional english pub" is supposed to be like so you'll have to tell me if it is) all i know is, if you want to enjoy some great food, friendly service, and a great relaxed environment, this is the place to go. I went here on a saturday afternoon for late brunch. it looked busy, and I thought it was going to be a long wait, but ended up getting seated on the porch area relatively quickly. I was having a hard time with the menu ... so many choices! but eventually ordered the corned beef hash.

it did NOT disappoint.

san tung aka the place with the "crack chicken wings"

ok. so many of you know about my love for chicken wings. this place tops it all. San Tung in San Francisco. everyone comes here for their famous Original Dry Fried Chicken Wings. everyone. you can't spot a table without those delicious golden fried wings topped with a sweet glaze, hint of chili and ginger.. YUM! they also have a wonderful selection of dumplings and noodles. below is the noodles with peanut sauce.

hint: if you do decide to give this place a try, be ready for a wait. parking is not super easily accessible. give yourself some time to find parking. head straight inside (fight through the crowd if you must). find your way to the little white board and put your name on the list. the waiters will make their way down the list and get to you. (usually it's 30-40 minutes). once you're in, order and enjoy. :)
