Recently, I had food trip after long years since the last I had,
and it was coincidence to fall almost on the same date. I do food trip to experience the other side
of my menu so usually I choose foods that I don’t eat during ordinary
days. If I am in the kitchen, I have my
same old ingredients like chicken breast and green leafy vegetables, no salt,
no added spices, no artificial seasoning.
So when I do my food trip, I think once in a while I can deviate from
the so called proper foods. It served treat
for myself. Before, I visited three to
four places but this time it was not food hopping from one eatery to
another. This time around, I wanted my
exciting and intense food experience happen in a fine dining restaurant. I chose this famous American steak house and
one of the best grill restaurants in town serving great steaks. From outside, the aura was inviting and
inside it was cozy.
Treating myself in one of the best steak houses, I ordered Angus
Tender with Spanish rice and mashed potato.
Famous for its specialty steaks grilled over open fire but I preferred
its signature black rock grill to slow cook my own Angus in a specially-treated
volcanic granite stone. Literally it was
cooking your foods by yourself right in your table. Although it was quite messy with that smoke,
smell, and the squirts of fats from cooking Angus but I don’t mind because it
was enjoyable especially when you were doing it with your friends. Better to wear casual t-shirt when you prefer
this.
It is your choice, you want it well done or over cooked. I actually made it five to ten minutes grill,
I think it was already half cooked. What
was happening then was no longer the quality of foods that I went for but the
fun of doing your foods. It was fair,
the taste was fine, nothing I can remember special to come back. The Angus was well-tender but not juicy and I
found it so fatty. I like the Spanish
rice, I like how tomato sauce made the rice, and the sliced thinly red bell
pepper added the dramatic taste and smell.
I actually would like to do it when I back home. I was not impressed in the side dish, the
mashed potato was simply not floppy.
There was no after-taste. I will
not mention the name of the restaurant.
It was only one of the menus they serve.
They have array of foods to serve and it is not fair that just for this
one menu will overlook the rest. Safe to
say for their Angus, it did not satisfy my taste bud but all in all, it was a fantastic
night of food trip.
Food trip is refreshing and entertaining experience. You can do it even every now and then if the
kind of your trip is low-fat and natural foods but if it is on the other side,
just do no overdo it. You need to
experience food trip. It can bring you
to a closer relationship or well-rounded yourself otherwise it will lead you to
nearby clinic for treatment of the illness you got from “fancy foods”. For someone like me who used to go for lite and
low calorie foods, I was a bit guilty myself.
But it did not bother me that much since times like this only take place
once in a while, I am at ease it has no huge impact to me, that’s the perk.
