13 May 2010.. Evening

A Thursday evening before our trip to Hawaii and my gf and I were hungry! and tonight's dining was going to be Indian fooooooood! You guys might already know this because I mention it so many times but I love sauce! and when it comes to Indian food, their sauce on the rice is just ohhhh weeee! We decided to order over the phone and pick up @ their location on 2nd st. in Long Beach because we wanted to get back so my gf could watch her SPURS against the SUNS.

Here's what we picked up:

Shrimp Tandoori -

Jumbo shrimp delicately marinated in yogurt and fresh spices. Served with mint sauce, basmati rice, pappadam and raita. 

Look at that sauce!! this was my plate and it was really good.  The onions were delicious! I wish I could describe the taste of it but hey, I'm not a chef remember.  This was filled w/ big o'l shrimps that were very rich in sauce and the green peppers really complimented it.

Chicken Tikka Masala -

Boneless tandoori chicken delicately cooked in a gravy of tomatoes, cream, onions and spices. Served with basmati rice, pappadam and raita.

This was my gf's dish and it was a hit.  Very very flavor full and filled w/ a lot of sauce! I only had 2 pieces of chicken but I had a lot of the sauce that I would spread all over my rice =) The chicken was boneless, tender, and juicy.  A good combination when it comes to chicken, and this dish was filled w/ a lot of small pieces.  Don't let the picture fool you, there was a lot at the bottom!

Rice

Food ain't food w/o rice! I give 2 thumbs up for their style of steamed rice.

 Garlic Pita Bread

Garlic Pita Bread is the shit! this was moist and yet crunchy in some parts.  Perfect for dipping in my gf's dish which I did=)  I think I killed more than half of this Pita. hehe.  I highly recommend Garlic Pita Bread when you guys have dinner at an Indian Cuisine.  

So if you guys are ever on 2nd st. and don't feel like having "FUCK IT THAI" haha.. head on over to the Natraj Cuisine of India.

6 May 2010.. Evening

It was dinner time and my gf and I were hungry! It was on me to pick the place this evening and I went with Charo-Chicken! We went to the one located at the Long Beach traffic circle. I love their food! their spices, chicken, rice.. everything.  I'd pick Charo over El Pollo Loco any day because everything to me is more flavor full then dry El Pollo stuff.

Here's what we got:

3 piece combo -

w/ beans, rice & 4 flour tortilla's

My gf and I decided to share and this 3 piece combo turned out to be a 4 piece!! they accidentally gave us an extra breast =) The dripping sauce from the chicken went very well w/ the rice and that probably my most favorite thing about Charo-Chicken, that sauce from the chicken & spices. 

Chicken Quesadilla w/ chips

This was my first time trying their Chicken Quesadilla and I wasn't disappointed! I love quesadilla's and most of the time I can never go wrong w/ them(accept for my last visit to Heritage) and this was definitely a winner.  My gf and I shared this and she loved it as well.  I wish there was one closer to my house but it's fine, I think its better off that way.. haha.

1 May 2010.. Evening

This evening was the celebration of my gf's little sister's 9th birthday and there was plenty of food! Sorry but their aren't any pictures of each plate because I was too busy eating! but I was able to take picture of my slice of Snickers cake from Albertsons!

Snickers Cake -

Albertsons

Coming from Albertsons, this cake was a surprise! Good actually! but mostly likely it was the frosting that got a little too sweet for me after a few bites.  In order to fix this problem, I did this..

I added Samoas ice cream to my slice of cake =) I definitely took that piece of Snickers on the top, but I stayed away from the frosting and took every bite with a piece of ice cream.  Yum Yum!! 

If you guys ever find yourselves in Albertsons looking for a cake, try the snickers Ice cream because I've experienced it and thought it was actually good.
