The Hoagies Experience

This wasn’t my first visit to Hoagies and it definitely won’t be my last. Every single experience has been consistently well worth the very reasonable pricing. My last visit was just yesterday with a friend. We ordered the Original Hoagie, Dirty Hottie and Honkie fries.

Now while I have had the hoagies before, the Honkie fries were a first. And oh my days, was it worth the wait. It made me regret not ordering them before. Crispy, curly fries, covered by a generous helping of stringy, hot mozzarella cheese, chunky sautéed onion strips, pitted and sliced black olives and a massive helping of juicy, tender beef strips. My friend and I completely demolished those.

The hoagies were made in my favorite brews, the jalapeño cheddar, which as the name suggests, is flavored with jalapeños and cheddar cheese. The bread itself is a treat all on its own with that brilliant dirty sauce, an original Hoagies recipe. Add to that bread and sauce tender beef strips filled with flavor, cheddar cheese, jalapeños and sautéed onions and there you have the Dirty Hottie. The Original Hoagie my friend absolutely enjoyed and I tasted. It was a milder, yet equally delicious version of The Dirty Hottie. I couldn’t decide which I liked better.

Hoagies, a relatively new establishment only a few months old is deserving of all the praise it’s receiving and in my opinion, it’s consistent quality deliverance on its products is well worth the praise. I was told the owners have a few ideas for expanding their menu, and I can’t wait to see what they come up with next! Local businesses such as Hoagies with such a hard working team at the helm must be appreciated and promoted. Till we meet again Team Hoagies, I shall be dreaming of that divine dirty sauce *Omnomnom*

Forty4 Obsessed

What can I say? I love Forty4. And why wouldn’t I when the team, from Aman to the chefs, are willing to go out of their way to recreate an item no longer available on their menu? I had been craving Kampong rice from Forty4 and mentioned it to Aman the last se last time I visited. When I called to make reservations the other day, Aman was kind enough to call me back because he remembered my craving! He then went to trouble to check with the kitchen and then texted me a confirmation that one of my favorite yummies will be ready for me! And that’s not all. Once I was served my requested dinner, he came by to ask if it was the same as I remembered it. And yes, it was! I had already been told jasmine rice is no longer stocked, which had originally been used, and I was perfectly happy just the same. I mean, puri zindagi wohi chaawal khaye hain na? Ab ziada hi-fi honay ki zaroorat nahin hai, ‘kay? Although I was tempted to polish off my entire meal, there was an event I w...

Amazing Thai - For the Love of Ramen

Disclaimer: A friend sent me this ramen to try, so I didn't pay for it, but my opinion is as honest as it always is. Okay, I have to admit. I'm a sucker for packaged, unhealthy, and sinfully delicious ramen. So when my friend Omer, husband of the very famous Eman's Cakes (A blog is up on that already, by the way) told me he wanted to send over authentic Thai ramen to me, imported from Thailand, was I going to say no? Of course not! What arrived at my doorstep was this: Of course, there was no sign of English anywhere on this, but packaged ramen aren't that hard to follow through with. So out came the ramen itself into the bowl, along with the shrimp flavored powder, the spicy sauce that makes everything come together and a guesstimate of the water I wanted. What I ended up after nuking it for 2 minutes was this: This was soupy, spicy, not particularly strong in shrimp taste, probably because I added way too much water, but that's how I like it, 2 me...

Getting Fancy at Pan'Ris

My friends and I were invited to Pan’Ris for dinner this evening, and minus a few issues which if addressed, can be a great new addition to the Aylanto-classed eateries. We chose to sit out on the deck, as the weather is as we all know, beautiful during the evening. It’s a lovely place, with a staircase handy leading off it to the main entrance. I have to say, the place is beautifully done. The order comprised of a Seafood Chowder, Red Snapper with Saffron Sauce, Grilled Lobster, Dijon Steak with a baked potato, and the Smoked Turkey Spaghetti which was originally in a creamy sauce, but they were kind enough to switch it a marinara sauce, as per my friend’s request. For dessert, we ordered the Bread and Butter Pudding and a Blueberry Cheesecake. Our server was polite, efficient at order taking and attentive without being obstructive. We were informed our food would arrive within 20-25 minutes. The chowder arrived within 10-15 minutes, and during that i...
