March 11th 2022: A Few Hours in Rhode Island

Today, with the snow still melting, I decided to head south to Johnston RI,

2117 Plainfield Pike

Cranston RI,

Before leaving West Warwick, I stopped by Fresh Homemade Donuts in town for a quick bite, getting a Red Velvet Donut, which was actually pretty good, especially with the frosting, and crispy too.

After finally leaving Rhode Island for the day, we decided to head to Dah Mee, a Korean restaurant in Natick serving Thai and Japanese food as well.

We got the Momokawa Silver (Oregon), which was alright for a Japanese drink,

the Dok Bok Ki (stir fried spicy rice cakes, fish cakes and scallions),

the Duk Man Du Guk (homemade dumpling soup with rice cake, egg, scallion and mushroom),

the Thai Noodle Soup (Thai style noodle soup, beansprout, fried onion and garlic)

and the Bul Go Ki (marinated sliced beef and Dah Mee special sauce).

The Korean dishes were not bad, although the Thai noodles were nothing to speak of. Overall, I think there are better Korean places around.

For dessert, we decided to head to Acai Dot Com, a small cafe serving acai bowls in a sketchy part of Framingham at 102 Irving Street.

We got our Acai Bowl with strawberries and pineapples.

Nice presentation, and pretty good acai too. Won't come back again due to the limited menu though.
