April 13th 2018: Quick Bite from Wraps N Bowls, Worcester

Today, we decided to get a quick bite in Worcester, checking out Wraps N Bowls, a new Mediterranean takeout place that has taken the place of Golden Pita Grill, which I visited once a long time ago.

I got The Beef Shawarma Wrap (beewaz, pickled cucumber, tomatoes, zesty tahini),

Which was a tad too  sour for my liking.

April 12th 2018: Crepes and Froyo at Yoway, Worcester

We decided to get some dessert from Yoway Cafe in Worcester today, getting the Strawberry Whipped Crepe (strawberries, whipped cream, sauce)

And the Banana Butter Crepe (bananas, peanut chips, whipped cream, sauce),

along with some froyo.

Good stuff as always from this place, and crowded too on a rainy night.

April 10th 2018: A Short Hike in Sutton

Today after work, I headed to Sutton for a hike, passing by Shrewsbury,

Scandinavian Athletic Club Park

Millbury

Mayo Pond, 119 West Main Street

Old Building, 119 West Main Street

Steelcraft Inc, 115 West Main Street

along the way.

Pigeon Hill Pond, 419 Central Turnpike

I went on a hike at Shaw Farm, where the path I took from the end of Shaw Lane is shown below in pink.

Unfortunately, the water body here was nothing to speak of.

Apparently there are good views on the other side of the place which I did not go to. Guess I got to go back again some day.

April 9th 2018: Pizza at Volturno, Worcester

Today, we decided to have dinner at Volturno in Worcester,  getting the Pistachio (BERKSHIRE PORK SAUSAGE, PISTACHIO PESTO, MOZZARELLA, PECORINO ROMANO),

the Funghi (WILD MUSHROOMS, GOAT CHEESE, MOZZARELLA, ARUGULA, TRUFFLE CREMA, OLIVE OIL)

and the Ricotta Tartino (brown butter crust, whipped house ricotta, mascerated fig, rhubarb coulis, toasted almond) for dessert.

The pizzas were really good, especially the sausage topping on the first and the mushroom sauce on the second, while the mix of flavors on the tart was just right, although the crust was a little hard. Delicious first experience here for my other half, and the pizzas came out so much faster than we expected.

April 8th 2018: Late Lunch at the Natick Mall, Natick

We were at the Natick Mall in Natick today, and decided to have a late lunch at the food court here, getting the Chicken Teriyaki from Sarku Japan,

the Cajun Fries from Cajun Cafe Grill,

the Buttermilk Crispy Tenders from McDonald's

and the Yogurt Green Tea and Signature Coffee from Kung Fu Tea.

Pretty satisfying, though nothing special. Glad we managed to get in on the tea line before it got too long.

April 7th 2018: Late Lunch at Fuddruckers, Saugus

We got a Princess Torta from Crown Bakery in Worcester for a party today.

Not too bad on the inside, but way too much almond flavor for me in the marzipan outer layer.

Later today, we had a late lunch at Fuddruckers, a burger chain located in Saugus,

We got the Chilli Cheese All Beef Hot Dog with Fries

and the Works (Smokehouse Bacon, American Cheese, Grilled Mushrooms).

Not too bad, but not the best, and pretty expensive for a fast food place.

April 5th 2018: Dinner at Simjang, Worcester

Today after work, we decided to check out Simjang, the new Korean restaurant that has taken the place of Sweet on Shrewsbury Street. Definitely much nicer decor now than before.

For food, we got the Korean Fried Chicken Wings (with miso soy garlic)

and the Bossam (pork belly, ssamjang, perilla leaf, kimchi, herbs),

which came with side dishes as well.

The wings were not bad actually, although the pork belly was a tad too salty. The side dishes were just alright as well.

Overall, way too overpriced for what we got. Definitely not coming back again.
