Trung E- Coffee

Heard about the Starbucks of Vietnam is in town, so of course we have to go check them out. 

Actually, I've already have tried Trung's back at the Asian Society.

I got the Black Sesame Cream Phin Coffee. 

Here's a better look.  You see a good decent amount of cream on there.  I do mix it all up after that picture.  And the sesame mix super well with the coffee.  The coffee is Ca Phe Sua Da so it's much more concentrated than regular coffee.   If that is too much for you, try the White Coffee, it's much lighter.  

When you get there, they have a kiosk but the staff at the counter also could help take your order.  But I feel like the kiosk get me thru faster.  Since it's still relatively new, also not alot of places do coffee like they do, the crowd is still pretty consistent.  So give that trick a try.

Asahi Sushi

Haven't been back for a while, but we're back here. 

Still very mom and pop feel. 

I still get my fried tofu.  I ate the salad before I take the picture.  But the dressing is still as good as I lap it all up.  And of course miso soup.  The soup and salad came from my entree. 

For the entree, I got the sashimi dish, and I just love how thick of a cut they give you. 

I just love coming here because they do check and make sure tea is filled, and dishes are got there in good order.  We felt very well taken care of.

Duck n' Bao

Friend and I decided to have Peking Duck.

Lucky for us, Duck n Bao is nearby. 

I got the Cucumber Lime mocktail.  And they are very open to having mocktail and not just the surgery based drinks only.  So that's greatly appreciated. 

To start, we got the Garlic Cucumber, and it comes with Yuzu sauce.  Definitely a good dish to get.

We got the pork pan-fried dumplings.  Very delicious. 

We got half a duck and our pancakes.

Here's the beautiful duck.  They de-boned it, and it comes with sliced cucumber, scallions, duck sauce and oyster sauce.  And if you were to mix it all up into one wrap it all works together.  

Like many cuisine, this is a DIY wrap dish.  You take a pancake, lay down the sauce, veggie, and meat.  If you like more sauce add more or ask for more for dipping are also recommended.  There's no issue for grabbing a table for dinner.  We walked up and got a table no problem.  During dinner time the place does fill up.  If you don't want to dine in, I do see quite a few to go orders being packed too.  Both will get great treatment from the servers here.

Oh K-Dog

We were shopping and needed to grab a quick lunch.

Curiosity and all that....

So far the sandwich looked promising.  

The cashier recommended the Teriyaki Egg Toast.  So scrambled eggs on top, meat at the bottom.

So the top part is ok, it's egg and mayo.  The bottom part is chicken meat with teriyaki sauce, which is where it's stop being good.  The teriyaki sauce was too something... and not in a good way.  So bad that I couldn't take more than 2 bites.  First was first taste, Second just to make sure.  And it's just not good. 

Sorry to say, it was promising and looked promising, but the taste that just did not deliver.  Maybe the fried stuff would've been better.

Creamery at Union Station

Around 5th inning of a Ballgame, I usually get up to walk around.

What's good during that time?  Of course is a scoop of ice cream.  As a matter of fact, they do make an announcement at the bottom of 5th, so if I were you, time it well. 

I got a scoop of cookie and cream.  Each time I go there, they seems to have different flavor of the game. They are from Blue Bell Creamery, and once you get your scoop, you can step to the side and get some sprinkles chocolate and/or caramel sauce added to your ice cream.  Now, if you're not a fan of the baseball cap, you don't have to get it, but it's the same price as a cup... so you make that call.

Elote & Papusa

Discovered this one from last year. 

They have Elote, Pupusa, Empanadas, Nachos, Tostatas, Wings, and... 

Quesadillas. 

It has fajita beef in there, and cheese.  Comes with pico, sour cream, jalapeño, and salsa.  

Also, it's close to my seats so it's easy to sit down and enjoy.

Cosmic Ice Cream

Heard about the new ice cream place in Bellaire. 

It is in the shopping center where Bellaire Triangle is.  They really opened it up. 

They got quite a bit of offerings, a little something for everyone. 

I got a scoop of Chocolate Milk & Cookies.  And I added toppings, so it's pretty filling. 

They offer Ice Cream Flight where you get 4 scoops in case you cannot make up your mind.  I'm very interested in the Ice Cream Nachos - they have 2 scoops on top for it.  They can do milkshake, cold brew shake, cold brew float too.  Definitely worth supporting.
