Saltan Pepper

Haven't eaten in the mall since forever. 

Since my office is not in the mall anymore, I have even less excuse to come and eat here.  But I do recall having good experience at Sultan Pepper.

I got the Eggplant meat dish with rice and spinach.  The eggplant is sliced, and baked in tomato sauce and olive oil.  On top of it has a slice of tomato, ground beef cooked in herbs.  The sauce is delicious.  I mix the beef and eggplant with rice, it was a great combo.

They have alot of halal and salad dishes, kabab, gyro and wraps too.

Hui Lau Shan

Came back to Hui Lau Shan for a drink this time. 

I actually was trying to get the last time, but the staff thought I wanted the dessert instead. 

I got the Pomelo & Mango with Sago.  That combo is actually very popular in Asia, just because the citrus and the tropical fruit complement each other very well.  On top of that, you go the coconut milk layer plus the sago (which is from the tapioca family), and a scoop of mango ice.  The whole thing is a comfort food for me.  All the yummy goodness runs together.  Definitely recommend the drink!

Amorino Gelato

What happens when you want something sweet and something to drink at the same time and soda, bubble tea, smoothie wasn't doing it for you? 

You go get a gelato, of course!

We actually go to the location in River Oaks District simply its easy access from movie theatre.  But it's nice to find it easily located in the mall.

I got affogato with L'inimitabile which is a fancy way of saying chocolate hazelnut flavor.  The Affogato has a shot of espresso in it, and by the time the ice cream melted it works out for a nice little drink.

So you walk up to the kiosk and you select what you want, pay there, then it'll spit out a ticket or number.  And the staff will get working your order.  The thing is, if it's busy, you have to pay attention to when they set out orders.  Also, you don't have to hold your order while you walk, they have a few tables for customers to enjoy their ice cream orders.

Mamak Malaysian Restaurant

Went back to Mamak for lunch. 

Was craving the Salt & Pepper Squid - I just like their fried salty goodness.  

We were thrilled to know that they sell the Hainanese Chicken in a set. 

Set came with soup, sauces, rice, sprouts as your veggie, and of course the chicken itself.  Chicken was good as always, and of course, I love this because it pairs well with the rice which is cooked in chicken broth and fat.  Of course I dose mine with the garlic sauce, something about the chicken + fresh garlic just strike the right cord.

Krispy Kreme

Of course, while on road trips, junk food is a MUST.

Came out to Krispy Kreme  for some donuts!  But first, Coffee!!!

The St Patrick's Day's donuts were in full force. 

But they do have Kolache.  It's a little like Shipley's where the bread is doughy. 

And the day we walked in, the staff grabbed us a plain original donut fresh from the rack.  It literally just go thru the icing river and came off of the belt.  So it was literally Hot Now and fresh.

Sea World San Antonio

When you go to Sea World, 

You go on rides, go see animals.

You learn about conservation to help animals in the wild. 

But you know you'll get hungry.  I managed to find something that is not fried.  Ok, to be fair, burger is not fried either, but you get what I mean.  I actually asked for a veggie wrap, but the poor staff have to come and tell me that it would take 30 mins.  I'm looking at her jaw dropped.  Luckily, next station they have 'Asian' food.  Alright, I'll bite.  

I got the Bulgogi beef with veggies and rice.  I think they gave me just as much veggies as I would get for the wrap.  That said, the sauce for the Bulgogi was legit, so by the time you mix your rice and shredded carrots together, it was just right.  This is as non-fried as I can recommend here at the park.  Good luck to you!

Dona Tota

I saw that I'm near Gorditas, of course, I have to go check them out.

It looks to be a neighborhood joint.

I got Pollo en Mole (on top), and Chicharron en Salsa Verde (bottom).  They use corn tortillas to make the pocket.  Both of those have pure meat with yummy sauce to match.  And yes, each one of those are filled to the max.

They actually have location out by Katy and actually in progress to open a location in Spring.
