Saravana Bhavan munchies review

by Kris   ⋅   April 2, 2008   ⋅   Comment now

If you think Amber India is good Indian food, then stop reading right now. If you’re one for a little adventure, try Saravana Bhavan. Piquant, pungent, vegetarian South Indian (Tamilnadu, I believe) cuisine that won’t break the bank (prices have been steadily increasing probably due to popularity, ~$5.85/main dish) revolves around various categories [...]

MUNCHIES [Homecookin'] . Wild Mushroom and Spinach Habanero Lasagna

by Kris   ⋅   January 17, 2008   ⋅   Comment now

When the spinach e.coli outbreak of 2006 arose, I almost died. Died because I couldn’t eat spinach. I luuuuurve spinach; raw or sauteed, it’s so good. I was doing Consultant work for Apple then, enjoying piling up the spinach from Caffe Macs’s salad bar, but not enjoying their method of pay-by-weigh (heavy [...]

MUNCHIES [Homecookin'] . Curry Udon

by Kris   ⋅   November 9, 2007   ⋅   Comment [1]

Curry is welcome at our house any time, be it Japanese-style or Indian-spiced, and I love fatty thick noodles, so I thought I’d try my hand at merging both with Curry Udon. I just subbed seitan for chicken but it’s just as yummy without meat or “meat”, too. I sent Chris off with [...]

MUNCHIES [Homecookin'] . Meatless “Meaty” Tacos

by Kris   ⋅   October 17, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

I’m sure if you made these with actual animal flesh, you’d have a coronary right on the spot. I don’t do well with exact measurements or repeating routines (even if I’m following a baking recipe, I experiment and change it up often), so bear with me. I created this when I couldn’t find [...]

MUNCHIES [Homecookin'] . Vegetarian Oktoberfest

by Kris   ⋅   October 14, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

Thought Oktoberfest was only for omnivores? Turtle Island Foods, the wonderful people who brought us modern-day marvels (vegan fare that doesn’t taste and look like cardboard), have quite a delicious selection of tasty pseudo sausages. Brown up sliced Tofurky Italian Sausage and Beer Brats (the first veggie sausages that were made for the [...]

MUNCHIES [CA] . La Victoria Taqueria

by Kris   ⋅   July 25, 2007   ⋅   Comments [4]

Thank God this place has their infamous orange sauce because their burritos taste like garbage. And I don’t mean a euphemism for bad food, I actually mean garbage like someone dumpster-dove for the tomatoes and lettuce and left ‘em in mayonnaise out in the sun (I saw that taqueria caveat piece on the news; [...]

MUNCHIES [CA] . Real Ice Cream aka: Olety’s Chaat Corner

by Kris   ⋅   June 21, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

Do you remember the free webhost Angelfire? I guess I started internet browsing around the death of Angelfire so I remember designing a webpage for a CS class and going nuts with colorful repeated backgrounds (were those orange serrated semicircles supposed to be fans or carrots?), animated .gifs, 42pt banner marquees, and framesets (thanks [...]

MUNCHIES . Tohato Bōkun Habanero Chips

by Kris   ⋅   October 22, 2006   ⋅   Comments [5]

Hot! Hot! Hot! Habaneros. Those adorable orange balls of fire that are 500x spicier than jalapeños (and what I love to chop into Sunday omelettes) have not only been officially recognized as the Guiness World Records hottest spice, they have also joined my Japanese Snack Hall of Fame. I absolutely adore spicy [...]
