Sushi Fridays – Densetsu in Plano, TX

The Hubby was craving sushi, so we went out for some last night.  As usual, we ordered waaaaay too much and we were stuffed to the point of uncomfortable by the time we left.

But would I change that?  Never!  LOL.

  

 

It’s always better RA

Been a super busy week!  I haven’t even gotten a chance to update from the weekend.

So, here goes.  We got lunch at RA Sushi in Plano on Saturday.  It’s been a little while since we’ve been to RA, only cause sometimes the budget doesn’t allow for this kind of a splurge. 

Happy anniversary!

My darling Hubby sent me a tiny edible arrangement to my office for our anniversary!  He’s so thoughtful.  And, he knows me so well.  Most women may prefer to get flowers (and flowers are good every once in a while), but give me something to eat and I’m a happy camper. 

The 99 Ranch is a Chinese grocery store?!

I’m sorry, I would have never guessed that this was a Chinese grocery store from the outside.  Seriously, we pass this place on 75 all the time, and until a few weeks ago, we never even knew what it was.

To be fair, it has no Chinese writing on the outside (as you can see in the picture).  I’ve never heard of the 99 Ranch Market, and the website claims they are the largest Asian grocery store in the country.  I think that’s wrong.  I’ve been in plenty of H-marts and Lottes, and some of them are bigger than this one.  Unless there is a really huge one somewhere else.

So, back to the market.  We pass this place all the time and always wondered what the heck it was.  If you had asked me a month ago, I would have guessed a Mexican grocery store.  Yes, I know that sounds racist.  But, come on!  Look at the thing!  It’s very brightly colored and it’s got a wreath around the 99.  Course, I guess that could also mean some other European country, but we’re also in Texas, so I was going on the assumption that the chances were good that it was Mexican.  Plus, it says “Ranch” in the name.

Kor-BQ: Korean Taco Adventure

Not too long ago, the Hubby and I decided to try out the Kor-BQ in Plano, TX.  We had already tried Goghee to Go in Dallas for their Korean Tacos and were not extremely impressed.  I had my reservations about the Kor-BQ, but decided to try them out since they were much closer to our house and I’d rather not go all the way to Dallas to get my Korean Taco fix.

Oh…My…Goodness….

I was pretty blown away.  I mean, they had some pretty good reviews on Urbanspoon and on the Foodspotting app, but I haven’t always agreed with reviews.  I have to say, these were some delicious tacos.  I got the Dweji (spicy pork) tacos with the soy dressing and kimchee.  The Hubby got the Galbi tacos.

The best part?  It’s freaking inside.  The major drawback for Goghee to Go (at least for me) was that it’s just a carry out window with no inside.  You’d either have to take it “to go” or eat outside on one of the tables.  While Kor-BQ doesn’t have any chairs, it’s got a long bar table on the wall where you can set your food and eat standing up.

We definitely have to go back again.  They have some other really interesting things on their menu that I really want to try, and I hear they just added eggrolls.  Each of the tacos are pretty small, so you’ll need at least three to make it a meal, but the nice thing is that you can mix and match the tacos (so if you want to get 2 pork and 1 beef, you can).

Bread Winner’s Cafe

Went to Bread Winner’s Cafe for lunch today.  I got the Grilled Veggie Sandwich and the Hubby got one of their Brunch specials for the day.  Some kind of Cajun Omelet thing.  My sandwich was pretty tasty.  It had a garlic aioli and pesto with some grilled veggies and a side of fresh fruit.  The Hubby’s dish had andouille sausage and chicken with eggs and a hollandaise sauce and a side of potatoes.

Honestly, although it was pretty good, I don’t know if I would go out of my way to go back.
