... when we popped in to grab one of our standard orders of the ensalada con pollo ($10.95):
Sadly, it was not up to its usual level of tastiness today. The normally tender and juicy chicken thigh meat was tough and stringy. I sloshed a little of their vinegar hot sauce on to help distract me from today’s sole food. Chubby decided to get some food without a face (after eating the one that belonged to that baby duck yesterday.) He went with the veggie deluxe sandwich ($8.25):
This flat-pressed French roll filled with roasted peppers, Jack cheese, onions, tomato and avocado was okay, but tasted incomplete. It really needed some bacon. Chubby had hoped in vain that the “deluxe” designation would mean that this wasn’t one of those veggie “me too” menu placeholders. We chalked it up to a bad day for the normally craveable chicken salad, but will probably skip the deluxe sandwich in the future. It’s unusual for us to leave this place disappointed, but we’ve had more hits than misses in this bright green, peppy food stop so we’ll keep it on rotation.
“… buy young - the date stamped on the egg tells you day 1 of incubation, so you want to pick the latest date (bigger number) not the earliest date. how to boil - place in a pot of cold water, bring to boil then simmer for 20-25 minutes. eat in the shell while pipping hot - As soon as you turn off the stove, scoop up the egg, place in an egg cut, round end up (not the pointed end). Use a small egg spoon or cake spoon to crack open the top, savor the broth with a bit of salt and black pepper, then slowly coop out the content & eat (with salt & pepper). do no eat the egg white - it's hard a rubbery. Discard it, unless you like the texture. In VietNam, we eat this egg with a mint to prevent gas (as eggs can be gassy)…”
One reader wrote to ask where she could pick up one of her very own: Gutenberg, The address of said asian market where one can pick up an impulse driven 99-cent balut please? -Zelda
Dear Zelda, Here's where I got mine: Asian Market It's right next to the Whole Foods. Bon appétit! -G
