Maybe when you’re reading this post, I’ll be off to Vegas! Excited for a mini-vacay to Las Vegas! No, not to gamble. I am excited for all the good eats and of course Trader Joe’s and Ikea, let’s be real! I’ll try to schedule out a few posts for while I’m gone. Have a good weekend folks!
Fort Ruger Market Sweet Longanisa, Egg, Rice | $9.95 (May 2024)
I was super excited to try this. I love me some longanisa sausage and I thought there could be no wrong. I WAS WRONG. The sausage was so weird and mushy, the texture was totally off. When I buy the ones from the store to make myself, the skin is almost crunchy (sounds gross but it’s good). This was 10 bucks! Well at least it was fried rice I guess? I would not get this ever again.
Kahala MKT Zaru Soba | $8.99
This one was quite a surprise, I really really liked this. And what this dish included was eggplant and I usually hate eggplant. HATE. But this eggplant was cooked and seasoned perfectly, not at all mushy, had a bit of crunch and there was a nice smoky flavor to it. The only downfall of this dish was the imitation crab. This sounds weird but this crab was like super dry, I like imitation crab that is wetter? Is that weird? Do you know what I mean? I don’t want to feel like I’m chewing on paper is what I mean. Would get this again!
have fun in LV. Don’t forget to eat the $80 (probably more now!) ramen from David Chang’s. Heard it was worth it. How can???
and how can Ruger Mkt screw up on breakfast?!?!
and soba! no can go wrong.
I am not eating that ramen! Hahaha too busy eating everything else!!
Wasn’t impressed by Ruger but Chan liked the poke so may have to return.
Ho, V’s comment! $80 ramen that’s worth it??!! Hope you try. I’m curious.
I don’t think my Chinese-ness can pay $80 for one bowl of ramen! Maybe next visit haha
Vegas! Fun city. Good Korean food.
So glad u mentioned the imitation crab! As soon as I saw it, I had my doubts. That is definitely not Okuhara’s. Foodland should know to stick to the local one for best quality!
Yup you’re probably right! Not Okuhara! If they switched up the imitation crab, this dish would be perfect!
It’s super hot here but enjoying the eats thus far!
have fun!
Thank you Kat!
