Congee Noodle House
📍 Address: 141 E Broadway, Vancouver
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3.5)
I always think that to know if a Chinese noodle house is good or not, one should try their soup noodle, and it was with that notion that I ordered a BBQ pork noodle on my first time there. The first thing I tried was of course the soup, and it's certainly tasteful. It's not just clear soup with MSG that I often came across from Chinese restaurants that are ripping westerners off, but this was likely to have been prepared with long boiling of bacon chips, as I can detect the aroma coming through the soup. The thin noodle was tangled too tightly together, and tasted a bit stiff in the beginning. But after soaking in the soup for a few minutes, it got better. The BBQ pork had some streaks of fat, which made it succulent, if you are not too health conscious, and the portion was not stingy for CAD6. I am sure to return to try their other dishes.

Me-N-Ed's Pizza Parlor
📍 Address: 7110 Hall Avenue, Burnaby
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3.5)
This pizza is quite good and you don't feel gross after eating it either. It's not super greasy and the ingredients are unique and innovative. I wish it was slightly closer to where I lived and I'd go there more often. I agree with Christine about the old school wooden booths. It's cool! All part of the ambiance.
Barlata Tapas Bar
📍 Address: 1500 S Lamar Blvd, Ste 150, Austin
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4)
Both my wife and I like this place. I like most of the dishes here. Sausage in squid ink and paellas are my favorite. My wife is a wine drinker and small eater, so this place is perfect. She can try different kinds of dishes with good wine. Only four stars because you get what you pay, no less or no more than that.
Tacodeli
📍 Address: 7301 Burnet Rd, Ste 100, Austin
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5)
I went to Tacodeli and got the most AMAZING tacos ever, even took a photo to show a friend their glory. I went back again today to get them again, and couldn't remember the name or their exact description. I made a silly suggestion at showing the cashier my photo, which turned into multiple staff members taking turns attempting to identify these delicious mysteries. After narrowing down the options, they even bought me both tacos, which were the Mojo Fish (the actual mystery taco in question) and the pollo fantastico. Both were amazing, and they were as kind and funny as the tacos were delicious. Thank you so much, I'll be back for these!!!!
Antica Pizzeria & mozzarella Bar
📍 Address: 249 W State Hwy 436, Ste 1105, Altamonte Springs
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5)
Being that pizza is one of my all time favorite foods, I had to see what the rave was about at Antica. It certainly did not disappoint. The pizza is extremely authentic and is what I would imagine pizza straight from Italy would look and taste like. They have an amazing selection of mozzarella and the pizza dough/crust was on point. The fresh and high quality ingredients are also brought out in every bite of the pizza. This place is about as authentic as it gets!
