What did I eat? Dim sum

Where from? Jade Asian

How much did it cost? $27

How was it?
I haven’t been back to Jade Asian in over 2 months so I decided to hit it up with the bro-in-law. Surprisingly, we weren’t able to eat that much; the bill came out to be like $27 with tax and tip. Normally, I’d eat around $20 worth.  And damn, I just forgot to take the photo of the last dish, my favorite roast pork bun! Weekday lunches are the best time to hit up Jade Asian for dim sum. There’s no wait for seating and you don’t have to fight for your food as much since it’s not as crowded.

We had the usual dishes – chicken feet, spare ribs, shrimp dumplings, spring rolls (with mayo), etc. My favorite dish here as mentioned above is the roast pork bun. My second favorite is the spare ribs and as usual, Jade Asian’s did not disappoint; I had two orders of those. Somehow they ran out of the shumai, or the cart never came around, so for the first time in my dim sum visits, I did not eat those.

One thing which pleased us quite a bit was that this time, they left us a jug of water on the table. In previous visits, we always had to hail the waiters multiple times for water refills but this way, it was hassle free for us and them!

What did I eat? Brazilian BBQ

Where from? Brazil Grill

How much did it cost? $90 for two (using Groupon deal, plus tax/tip)

How was it?
Before I begin about the food, I should clarify the Groupon deal bit. The Groupon deal said you get a meal with 2, a value of $120 for $60 and it includes 2 all you can eat rodizio, 2 desserts and a bottle of wine up to a $35 value. The tax and tip came up to around $30 so the meal for two basically ended being $90. The Groupon deal is not so bad but I personally would have just gotten the regular priced AYCE rodizio since I don’t drink. Plus the wine they gave was a $5 bottle.

The food was fantastic as usual. The best piece was the top sirloin (middle right pic). The layer of fat surrounding the meat was heaven! Add the saltiness and the blood oozing out, it was amazeballs! My least favorite was the sausage and maybe the chicken. The beef and pork cuts were succulent and just to my level of rarity and saltiness. The meal also comes with an order of fries, rice and beans. I would skip out on those and just binge on the meat.

Airline/Airport food

 

 

 

  

Some of the airline/airport foods I ate during my trip home. Korean Airlines has one of the best inflight meals, in my opinion. Although I think the last meal I had didn’t sit very well with me after the flight. That bottle of hotsauce makes everything taste vibrant up in the sky! It also helps that they have a free flow of snack in the common area on the plane, in case you’re having the munchies; unlimited brownies, honey roasted peanuts, Shin Ramen cup noodles and assorted drinks.

The milkshake from the Yangon airport was mediocre. It’s basically chocolate milk and it wasn’t even rich. The Incheon Airport has very good meal options; Korean, Japanese, Italian, KFC and Burger King.
