Food update - week 4

Elmer's - Expensive breakfast IMO, $10+ for a set, tastes not bad though.

Dungeness Crab Egg Benedict - Elmer's

Ta Ra Rin - Supposedly best Thai in the area of Salem, place was not bad, food was OK.

Ta Ra Rin

Longbottom - Ate the bagel set, not too bad.

Portland City Grill - Awfully over priced fine dine place located at the 30th floor, right in the middle of Portland city.

Top sirloin with salmon - Portland City Grill

Chang's Mongolian Grill - An interesting experience where you pick up what you like and there is this big cooking plate operated by two chefs to cook on the spot for what you have chosen, eat all you can. Another interesting fact is this has nothing to do with Mongolia.

Banya - A random Japanese restaurant that we went after being rejected by Benihana, please continue reading to know more about Benihana. Food was OK.

Forgot what roll, this is also something unique in US - Banya

McCormick Fish & Grill- Another random Fish & Grill Bar that we bump into after the wrong information shown on Google on Koreana. Food was OK but is pricey.

Steak and Lobster - McCormick

A long list of wine - McCormick

Fogo de Chao - This was the best meal experience by far in The State. A Brazilian steak house, where they will bring the roasted meat in a whole, cut it right in front of you, if you are interested to have a bite. This will keep circulate until you are full, or they can serve as your order. Apart from the different experience, some of the steak was nice too. It was a full lunch.

This side to have the waiter serve you with food - Fogo de Chao

And this side to temporary stop if you need more time to finish what's on your plate - Fogo de Chao

Benihana - And immediately at the very same night, the best meal experience got overwritten by Benihana, which we had to make a reservation at 845pm, yet we are served to the table after 9pm, food was served after 10pm, left the restaurant at 11pm, the latest dinner I ever had - but, it was a total satisfactory. They call the chef table, where the chef cook right in front of you on top of something similar to the usual teppanyaki we are familiar of, but on top of that, part of the chef's responsibility was to entertain the customers, by doing tricks, making jokes.. I have seen some video clips on the internet, but have no idea where to find and even what keyword to search, but somehow got here by accident. The nice experience aside, the food were all fresh, not frozen, I can tell since it's cooked right in front of me. The first taste on the shrimp appetizer, I was overjoyed, I have never taste a mouthful of shrimp taste like that in the State, sorry bout the lack of descriptive words to use, in short, it was really nice. The appetizer made me anticipate for the main course for I ordered the seafood meal, with SHRIMP. But somehow the bigger shrimp on the main course wasn't so tasty as the appetizer one's, but in overall it was still very good. This is the restaurant I would really want to pay a second visit.

Koreana - Typical family style Korean restaurant, food was not too bad.

Steam pork belly - Koreana

Thai Bloom - Another high class Thai restaurant, food was OK, a little pricey.
