Sushi and Sashimi Galore!

Last night, we were badly craving sushi. Personally, one of the better spots for asian fusion, sushi and sashimi dishes is Wild Ginger in East Northport, NY. They do have a few other places in Nassau county and Manhattan as well.

Wild Ginger offers anything from fire grill chicken, beef, scallops and prawns to plenty of variety of sushi and sashimi dishes.

I decided to go for the Sushi & Sashimi for 1 and my brother ordered a various types of rolls.

The dishes were fantastic, and I highly recommend Wild Ginger if you are in the New York/Long Island area.

Gasho - Hibachi

During Superbowl weekend, we decided to try some hibachi for a change.

Gasho in Long Island is where we decided to go Saturday evening.

They have comical cooks that try to entertain diner's as you enjoy some appetizers such as soup and salad. Although, I must say, I was disappointed with our cook, as he literally cooked up our table's food and left. He did not even crack a smile. Pretty lame experience this time around.

The food was good, which is most important. I ordered the Mahi Mahi once again. I seem to be on a Mahi fix lately, but I do enjoy the fish.

It was good and had some spice but more on the salty side.

Overall, you get your food cooked right in front of you, which is always great for celebrations or a big group of people. The cooks should entertain you, but you could also end up with a dud from time to time.

I recommend for a fun dining experience.

Mc'y d's Jp!

Heya Heya
So mc Donald's in Japan does things very differently, from the menu to the service. A very welcoming change for the American that grew up on this stuff and pretty tired with their menu if you ask me!

Today I have the sankaku pie, blueberry and cream cheese filling. Sankaku just means triangular, but I didn't know that when I actually bought the thing ha

First bite is mostly pastry, oh but what a flakey and butter pastry it is! 3 bites in and you get a warm cream cheese and blueberry melty mix that will def put a smile your face. I'm loving this guy for sure, for 120 yen (1.50$) it's a winner. They also carry a deep fried apple pie as well, but another blog another time. Check the pics!

Mahi from Outback Steakhouse

I ordered the "new" mahi dish from Outback Steakhouse recently. As listed in the menu, it was low fat, wood fired and under 500 calories, so I decided to give it a shot.

I don't usually go for the seafood dishes at a chain steakhouse, but I happened to enjoy their new mahi dish, which came with steamed mixed vegetables.

The mahi was cooked nicely and had pretty good flavor. But what I enjoyed the most was that it was a light dish and I did not feel bloated or full after eating.

If you're into seafood, or just want to try a new dish, try Outback's Hearts of Gold Mahi dish.

Yup, Mexican again.

Mexican resaturant, "Burrito Loco" in Commak is what I decided to have for dinner on this extremely brisk Friday evening.

I decided to go for their shrimp rice bowl, which included plenty of shrimp, rice, peppers, tomatoes, onions, and jack cheese melted on top.

The jack cheese makes it a slightly heavier dish. Overall, the dish isn't too fattening and very tasty.

I highly recommend this Mexican establishment. Located off Commack Road in the Meat Farms shopping center.

Homemade seafood soup

This year's Christmas eve, my mother and grandmother made a wonderful dinner for family and friends.

One dish that stood out, and was the first course, was this seafood soup, which was absolutely delicious.

The soup includes everything from squid, scallops, clams and shrimp.

Beautiful, beautiful dish.

White Castle!!!!???? Yea!

Yes, on this cold December, Saturday evening, a friend and I decided to go to White castle.

Even though White Castle doesn't have the best rep, it still tastes damn good.

I ordered a cheeseburger meal with mozzarella sticks and chicken rings.

It hit the spot :)
