USA food ~!


I tried as many food as I could here in US. There are few notable difference between their meal and our meal ...

1st . They dun eat rice. Every meal there'll be potato ... be it hash brown ( their hash brown is just potato cut into pieces and deep fried it ) , or mashed potato ( they mash the potato including the skins ! ) .

2nd. Every meal you can see cheese. I only know 4 cheese so far : american cheese, chedar , mozarella , ahh .. one more forget its name.

3rd. They dun have chili sauce here ! but they do have lots of other sauces .

4th . Their meals are served in such a big portion !

Breakfast : Grilled chicken steak with hash brown , with omelet+cheese , and english muffin - USD 2.40 . The mushroom sauce are damn lot better than in singapore or msia. Every morning when ordering breakfast we have to cracked our head .. coz we have to decide what bread to take ( white toast , whole wheat , muffins , and whatever else.. i dunno what is it call lar .. but it is harder bread , another kind of bread got spice in it ..) . Then we have to choose what type of cheese to go inside the omelet ...



Lunch : hamburger. Beef burger with local fresh tomato and pickles and veges and onion rings. The spring onion here are seriously choking... the feeling is just like eating wasabi . This burger cost USD 1.50 .



This is breakfast again .. white toast , omelete with mozarella cheese , the filling inside the omelete is fresh tomato , mushroom ( very tasty mushroom ) and ham . Ham is not bad , but sometime i prefer the combination of mushroom+tomato+bacon. This cost USD 2.40 .



We got free meal coupon from our employer during our orientation( we get pay for attending orientation too ~ ) . We get to choose entree ( main dish) , salad , beverage + dessert in higher level restaurant in grandcanyon . We simply picked the most expensive entree .. too bad we can only choose plain salad( there are salads with hams and prawns and those stuffs . The photo here shown is turkey,.normally cost 9.25USD. Not bad lar this turkey .. i dun really like it but my friend love it.





what's shown in the middle is mushroom soup. Now only I now what is "creamy" meant by kai yuan. Its really really creamy . It tastes superb. Cost USD 1.50 . The 2 drinks shown beside are hot choco and french vanilla. French vanilla taste like .. melted vanila ice cream. Very delicious.



The last here .. grilled salmon + cheese macarroni .. or whatever it's called ... It cost a fucking 9.50 USD (i used the free coupon for this tho) . My friend said it is nice , but i thought it just taste like sardine ... cheap mouth i got .. lol .

I actually tried many other stuffs .. like roast beef ( which is really nice ) , ice cream called dunno what ( SUPER NICE ) .. and many more. But i didn't take the photo of it down ...I think i wont want to eat western food when go back to msia or singapore ! I want to eat fried rice so much now .. T_T

Alrite, till then !

Well, its impressive and so nice to have a gastronomic experience in States. but, I just wanna say that of all the pictures you took, none of them look really palatable.. In cruder words, looks pretty disgusting.

Hope you don't mind if I say so. They serve in large portion and just dump everything together from what I see. Its like no sense of tidiness. Try compare it to how Gordon decorate his plate. haha... Anyway, just my opinion.

And I guess now you can realise why the obesity problem is so serious in states. Cheese, cream, and so many other high calories stuff plus a jumbo-mumbo version serving. I should go there for some time to get my body bigger. lol..

Hope to see you get bigger when you are back!!! Enjoy yo!

Yea, I can never stop to agree that its very very lowly price given what is serve.

But to me the most important thing with food, it must be palatable.. With my current state.. I'm not really bother with the looks..

Chills yo.. nothing is more important than you enjoy the food and be grateful with it.. :P
