OT Your Last Meal

[barfo]

Not real clear where you got inbreeding from my post?

I edited it so that it falsely implied that. Do I need to draw a diagram?

I think you’ve spent too much time indulging in weevil ridden hardtack and rancid salt pork washed down with watery grog……

Generally, I see a FIFY, or such. But, hey, it's an intriguing calculation.

The Sterling Seafood Buffet in Vegas is the shit. Only seafood buffet better I had was the buffet in JW Marriott hotel in Ha Noi.

If you go back to Honolulu, hit up Orchids at Halekulani. I just made a brunch rez there for my trip in Feb.

Got a 3 bedroom penthouse in Waikiki to stay for a month in the summer if we want to go back. Love Hawaii but their Vietnamese food there's terrible. Don't think the wife would last that long without being able to cook her own Viet dishes.

Yeah, they do Korean and Japanese food really good. I don't have much experience with Vietnamese out there. I'm personally not a big Pho person, but I like other Vietnamese food like Bun Cha, spring rolls, etc.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Did you go to The Pig and the Lady. Its fusion Vietnamese but it was really good.

Looking for a great dim sum restaurant in Portland to suggest to my sister.

We always go to Chinatown in Beaverton. Its not great though.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Yeah, avoid the "pho" restaurant inside the big mall. I won't name the restaurant but it's got a 4-star review (must've been reviewed by fakes or by people with no appreciation of Viet cuisine). Their pho and bun bo hue there are irredeemable. Agree with Korean and Japanese food.

I'm pissed they closed the Shirokiya Japanese food hall at Ala Moana. That place was amazing.

Go here if you haven't. Probably my favorite spot overall. Fried Pork chop is amazing as is the fried rice.

HK Cafe on 82nd.

Thanks! She lives in Woodstock, so that would be super convenient.

Its delicious. Try a caviar tasting menu at Kaschka some time. Good stuff.

Those oysters are far far too large.
Don't eat no stinkin' raw meat and that includes fish.
Caviar looks delicious.

As an aside, my wife and I celebrate Christmas Day with the extended family. Christmas Eve and Christmas Eve Day is just for us. We've decided to do a brunch this year. I recently saw some great looking Cioppino on some food show, and was thinking of doing that. But, decided to keep it straight forward. I pretty much do all the cooking in the household, and just ask her what she wants. She's going for eggs benedict. I might add crab. I'm gonna also make some killer French toast. Probably a baked version. Thick-sliced pepper bacon, iron skillet red potatoes w/pearl onions, fresh fruits, maybe some pastry. Following that, some festive movies and great sex. We'll open gifts that evening. If I were to choose my last day, this would be it!

Don't eat no cioppino.

 

[MickZagger]

I like Ocean City on 82nd. Every time I’ve been there been the only white people.

 

[riverman]

Wife made homemade flat noodles last night and we had shrimp, brocolli, bell pepper, mushroom onion noodle soup last meal....next meal will be a surprise. Maybe jumbo breaded prawns with stir fried rice.

That's when you know it's a good Asian restaurant.

Sometimes? My relative that is Vietnamese loves Pho Oregon but I prefer Pho Van. She says Pho Van is made for the american palate.

Pho Hung. So good.
Also, I love that when he answers the phone he says "TELEPHONE!".

 

[riverman]

I also prefer Pho Oregon. Thought Pho Ngon (ngon means delicious or yummy lol) was good too but they've since gone out of business. Haven't eaten at Pho Van in quite a while but I'm the type that will stick to what I know is good.


Pho Hung is really Pho Kim now.

I always wondered why girls there called me Hung Pho Sho....now I understand.

Ha! Love it!
It's been years since we went there, but they were the best.

Been hitting Pho Ken in OC. It's nearly as good and much closer.

One really good Vietnamese Restaurant in Eugene and it's always packed....I haven't been there in a while and should stop by there soon...great noodles.

Or that everything is deep fried!

Had dim sum today. First time in forever.



Holy shit, the prices went up significantly. Was like $115 for 3 people after tip. Used to be half that. And this was a cheaper place.

Hit the spot though.

That's my idea of a good time....looks awesome!

They actually had pushcarts, which are increasingly rare these days.

 

[riverman]

Hit up Oc House on 82nd (where else?) if you're into snails and other weird shit.

I'll eat some snails but have to pass on weird shit.....not into that kinky stuff.

You like dim sum? Never would have guessed.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I love udon, and my go-to udon place in Honolulu is Marukame Udon. Check it out if you haven't already. Long lines every day, though.

View attachment 43243

We have the Maragame Udon chain in LA, which is basically the same thing. I have one like a mile from me right now at work. Maybe the Hawaii one is a little better, but I'm not waiting in that line.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

The poke spot just a block ahead is good too.

Maguro Bros in the Alleyway like a block towards the beach is amazing. Last time I was there, the lines EVERYWHERE were long as fuck, but this is just after the re-open. I'm still mad they closed the little Japanese village walk in Waikiki too. They had some amazing Japanese food in there.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

It's not dim sum if you didn't have chicken feet, btw.

Eh, not my thing. I got the pork spare ribs. We call it Adidas.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

That's how I judge if a dim sum place is good, whether they can do chicken feet right.

How good they do the shumai is usually my barometer, its probably the most popular dish, so they better do it right.
