October 13th 2014: Dinner at the Burren, Somerville

Today after work, I had a meetup event to go to at The Burren, a bar I have been to in the past for brunch in Somerville.

Before that, I decided to grab my pizza lunch for tomorrow from Villa House of Pizza in Arlington, getting the Garlic Bread,

the Zucchini Sticks,

and the Buffalo Chicken Pizza (red sauce, breaded chicken tenders mixed with our buffalo mild sauce, cheese blend).

Okay stuff as always, good for leftovers.

When I finally got to Somerville, pretty much everyone else had arrived, so I got down to ordering, getting the Bangers & Mash (Irish sausages & homemade scallion mashed potatoes, served with sides of braised cabbage, bacon, baked beans & gravy)

and the Buffalo Wings (Crispy fried & tossed in our medium-spicy sauce, with celery & bleu cheese dressing)

It was actually really good, especially with the sides of cabbage and bacon.

Glad my friend who's new to the city also decided to join me tonight.

October 12th 2014: Lunch at Ruby Tuesdays, Wrentham

After shopping at the Wrentham Premium Outlets in Wrentham with my mom, we decided to get lunch at the Ruby Tuesday here, like we did in the past. This time, my mom got the Petite Sirloin and Lobster Tail,

while I got the Low Country Shrimp and Grits (Tender jumbo shrimp and andouille sausage, bacon, mushrooms, and peppers served over six cheese grits in a Parmesan cream sauce).

My dish was really delicious, even with the peppers which I am not a fan of,  while my mom's meal was pretty good as well.

We got the New York Cheesecake as well without the sauce topping, but by now we were too full to finish.

At least my mom got all her shopping done.

October 11th 2014: Asian Meals in Worcester and Shrewsbury

My mom wanted to get Vietnamese food for lunch, and on a recommendation from a girl I just met whose family apparently owns the restaurant, we decided to go to Saigon Restaurant in Worcester. I was here once over 2 years ago, and it was good to be back again.

This time, we got the Com Thap Cam (Rice with combination of grilled shrimp, pork, beef, vietnamese sausage, egg rolls, shredded pork, shrimp paste),

the Pho Dac Biet (Special Noodle Soup)

and the Canh Ga Chien (Fried Chicken Wings).

The chicken wings were just normal I guess, although the grilled meat was really tasty, as was the pho. 

Glad I decided to come back today.

After a day of getting groceries and other necessities, we decided to get some Thai food from the Thai Place in Shrewsbury.

I got the Isaan Steak (Rib Eye Marinated in Thai spices, served with steamed vegetables and Isaan Tomato sauce),

while my mom got the Sweet and Sour Shrimp (Pineapple chunks, onions, peppers, carrots, tomatoes and black mushrooms in Sweet and Sour sauce).

The steak was perfectly cooked, and went really well with the sauce, while the shrimp was spicy and delicious as well.

Glad I got the steak, even though it looked a little Western.

October 10th 2014: Lunch from Sazon Latino Restaurant, Worcester

Today at work, I decided to head out for lunch at Sazon Latino Restaurant in Worcester. This place is like a cafeteria, just like many other Latino restaurants in town. After loooking at the menu on the wall, I decided to get the "Cuajito" Guisado (pig ear and feet stew).

Pretty good actually, despite the weird ingredients.

October 8th 2014: More Chinese Takeout from Ming House, Worcester

For the second day in a row, I got Chinese takeout for dinner, this time from Ming House in Worcester.

I got the Chicken with Garlic Sauce Combo, coming with Pork Fried Rice and a Pork Egg Roll.

The chicken was rubbery and not even tasty at all. Definitely not one of my better Chinese takeout meals.

October 7th 2014: Dinner from King Chef, Worcester

Today after work, I got Chinese takeout from King Chef in Worcester, getting the Beef and Broccoli Combo with Pork Fried Rice and an Egg Roll.

The beef itself was pretty good, although I did not like picking out the onions in the rice, and the egg roll was just so-so.

October 6th 2014: Dinner at Thai E-Sarn, Arlington

I had to leave work early today to go pick my mom up from the airport. After doing so, I decided to take her to Thai E-Sarn, a nicely decorated Thai place in Arlington where I had a deal, for dinner.

In order to use the deal, we ordered a lot of food and drink, getting the Hot Green Tea,

the Thai Iced Tea,

the Vegetable Rolls (crispy spring rolls filled with homemade vegetable filling, served with sweet and sour sauce),

the Suki Yaki Soup with Seafood (Thai style glass noodle soup mixed with assorted vegetables serve with savoury spicy sesame Suki Yaki sauce),

the Green Papaya Salad with Salted Black Crab

the Kaeng Aom Beef (A spicy "curry" with mixed vegetables in savoury broth without coconut milk),

and the Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango for dessert.

The green tea and the rolls were nothing special, while the pieces of crab in the salad still had shell on it, though an interesting concept. The soups were really tasty though, as was my iced tea and the dessert. Overall, a pretty good dining experience, with lots of leftovers.
