Chicken wrap from a Somali spot. They were outta beef. Chapati was flames

I wonder if anyone else still eats or has ate at those Mongolian BBQ stands that are common in a lot of malls.

I ate from one in Fox Hills Mall multiple times in the early 2000s because I thought it was a good deal with it enabling you to fill up your bowl with as much frozen meats as you could before it's cooked with noodles.

I admit I used to push down on the meats to really fill up the bowl to get as much as I could. I believe they placed a sign that told customers not to push down on the meat years after I stopped eating there due to me and perhaps some others who tried to make it conducive for the bowls to fill up.

I noticed the employees have been filling up the bowls for the customers instead of allowing the customers to help themselves for the last several years.

I used to get so much food that I couldn't finish it, so I took the leftovers home and shared it with my mom.

Anyhow, I stopped eating from there since my mom instilled to me they were using cheap meats, so that's why they're able to enable customers to get all they could. She conveyed that if they provided good quality meats for customers to pick as much as they could, then they would go out of business.

That all made sense. I was ignorant to that logic with the lower quality of meats provided to customers because I was fixated on the dynamic that I was getting a deal with being able to fill up the bowl as much as I could.

Wanted to order something else but they were out. Blessings in disguise, this was good.

Some dessert

The waffles look crazy good. I see vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, bananas, strawberries & peanuts I think. The pictures came out great . The burger looks nice & juicy- is that a pretzel bun? I love those.

in high school my friends older brother told us about that, we'd be punching the meat all the way down into the bowl lol. but yeah now they got signs up about that. protip: use the tongs to push it all down on the downlow.

quality of meat...eh I know what I'm getting at the mall food court. it fills me up and tastes decent.

Volas

Crystal. No reason why, it's not like they aren't all basically the same thing but I think Crystal has been promoted (by us) as the Fish hot sauce. -

 

[B Sox]

Those 3 definitely all have distinct flavors.

Yea but I would still group them on the same branch of hot sauces.

Not really spicy Cayenne pepper sauces.

So I view them as interchangeable.

1. Could roasting/broiling plantains work?
I sometimes crave "fried plantains" but I never fry anything in here because I never want my place smelling like grease. Looking for that golden exterior and soft interior without the extra far.

2. Is Caribbean spots selling macaroni and cheese done for American customers or is that something that is eaten regularly in the Caribbean.

I come in pure ignorance.

One of my favorite Waffles out here. Place literally only has 2 options for waffles, the plate I got and one with 4 scoops and a funnel cake on top....Murrica. Everything else they serve is Bubble Tea. Those were granolas on top.

Love a good Pretzel Bun on a Burger too.

I boil the yellow skin plantain all the time. It’s pretty tasty. The trick is picking the right one to boil.

Never done it but don't see why you you couldn't toss it in the oven if you want to. Yes we eat Macaroni and cheese. Wouldn't say it's a staple though.

Also don't know how I get a warning for an auto edited word, but RR cat will never know peace now.
