Nong's Khao Man Gai will blow you away!

Portland, Oregon is known for its many food trucks and food stands. Portland, Oregon is the home of Nong's Kahn Man Gai which we proudly visited on our trip.

 Food trucks are no new thing for us, Seth's father was the founder and executive Chef of the Green Meanie food truck that was formerly located in Columbus, Ohio so we are hip to what a food truck should be like. 

We decided to go for the popular choice on the menu which was the Chicken and Rice...

CHICKEN AND RICE


Chicken on top of a bed of white rice, with a generous portion of cilantro, and a couple slices of cucumber was what we received after ordering. We also got a side of soup and a side of their tangy ginger sauce to go with the chicken.


The Chicken was tender, fresh and cooked all the way through. the flavor of the chicken was very tasty along with the rice, cilantro and cucumber. Everything tasted great together but what really set everything to perfection was the ginger sauce. It gave the entire dish a whole new flavor rather than just the chicken and rice by itself. The sauce was sweet and tangy and had the taste of ginger that you always find in good Asian food, and when you have a sauce that delcious to go along with beautifully cooked chicken and rice, it's absolutely breath taking. The cilantro also played an important role. We were blown away by this dish.


The soup was also very delcious. It had a strong delcious flavor of cilantro and onions and and was just all around bursting with flavor. It seemed simple at first but when you actually taste it for the first time your whole perspective on soup transforms. 


We highly recommend visiting this food stand. The delcious flavors will definitely give your mouth an adventure. We will definitely be back at this food spot when we visit Portland, Oregon again!

Thank you for reading, Tasty!

Roosters, it's an Ohio thing!

We are so proud to be from Ohio for so many reasons, and Roosters being one of them!  Roosters is a restaurant that only 'Ohioans' or Ohio visitors know about. It's not a five star fancy schmansy restaurant, just a tasty and fun place to eat at on a weekend or after a long days work. The famous slogan really speaks for itself "A fun, casual, joint", but it doesn't happen to mention the delicious food they have available!  We are regular Rooster customers, we usually go a couple of times a month. We usually stick with our favorites from the menu, but you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer. Whether it's the loaded nachos, a burger, or their tender boneless wings dipped in your choice of TOP OF THE LINE wing sauce, you wont be disappointed. Most of the time we go with the boneless wings drenched in tangy sweet Thai chili sauce. The quality of the meat is unbeatable, but the big kicker for us is the sauce. The sweet

Breakfast Time at Table 1

Being Ohio natives we were happy to find an independent restaurant near us. It had Great decor, and the restaurant itself had a visually fun and hip/modern look (no surprise here.. most small businesses take this role). The lighting was at a relaxing level, they placed numbers above the tables to try and give a unique look. Enough about the decor though, lets move on to the important Tids! First things first, drink options. They had a small variety of drinks offering the usual selections - Soda, Water, Tea, O-J, Milk. We decided on getting the Cola, because we had a long drive ahead - we were headed for Amish Country in Millersburg OH. (Blog soon to come..) Our server seemed to be lacking some energy that day as well, I mean it was Saturday. She brought our drinks and we were surprised to see more than a simple cup, Coca-cola served to you in a jar! Enough mumbo about the drinks though, onward to the main course. We both opted for The eggs Benedict. We were unsure o

The Ale House May be Good for Whatever Ails You

All of you Ohio natives out there, if you havent been to Ale house 1890 in Lancaster Ohio you are definitely missing out. They have wonderful hamburgers and so many to menu items to choose from! All of these burgers are specially made with their own selection of fresh ingredients. They definitely know their way around a burger! They also have new specials  pretty frequently such as fried macoroni! (See review for fried Macoroni below!) so go in and don't miss them! Ale House 1890 Our first pick from the menu was the Barnyard Burger.  Barnyard Burger This burger was an absolute taste masterpiece! The first bite I took I could immediately taste the sweetness of marmalade and the grilled taste of the patty which collided with each other creating a  wonderful taste combination. The garlic aoli was a nice touch to the burger as well, better than mayonnaise if you ask me! Also the micro greens was a great bonus to an already delcious sandwich. And what is better on a b
