Starbucks Bagel
This bagel was awesome! I think maybe because it was mainly full of butter. It tasted exactly like croissants! America does bagels well.Rating: 4 Stars

Twinkies
Lyndal: An American classic food, I was excited to try this. A major disappointment. The cake was ok, but the mock cream was disgusting. Far sweeter than mock cream I have had in packaged cakes before, and worse than the cream on top of the Jack in the Box shake.

Donettes (Chocolate)
Lyndal: I chose 'frosted' (vs. 'powdered sugar' and the terrifying 'crunchy'), but these tiny donuts were just dipped in weird sort of compound cooking chocolate. The actual donut was on par with a supermarket donut in Australia, Webber said the chocolate coating was also the same. Enjoyable, but very sweet. Only eat one at a time.

Chicken Teriyaki
Shara and I got this at the Korean joint we went to for dinner. It came with combination tofu soup, which apparently means tofu soup plus a whole bunch of things you are supposed to put in it including a big ol fish? The chicken teriyaki was real good, there was a whole bunch of chicken and the rice was also good. I didn't really have much of the soup because it was bubbling hot when we got it, and then by the time it had cooled down I had filled up on chicken. The bit I had was nice, but I'm not a huge fan of this falling-apart tofu. The tiny bit of vegies/kimchi I had seemed nice, but I was too full and too scared to try egg and fish. Shara said the chicken was good but she thinks it made her real sick, so she is sad about that. Oh also they served the rice out of stone jars and put hot water in the jars, and then came back ten minutes later and served us hot rice water??? I didn't drink it in case it was secretly for washing your hands or decoration or something. This would have been much easier if Jono and Jo had have taken us to Korean in Sydney first!!

Dumpling Soup
Lyndal: Same soup as everyone else, there were 3 meat wontons in total which were very tasty. The tofu was the kind I like, very soft like the stuff you get in miso soup. I braved cracking a raw egg into my soup but it kind of just disappeared and melded with all the tofu. Was also given some rice? Anyway this was great, better than wonton soup I have had previously which is usually just clear broth.

Salad
endlessmike got this one. This was an incredibly huge salad. endlessmike said it was reasonably good, the dressing was apparently quite lemony and tasty. It did just seem to have fancy lettuce, tofu, olives and carrot though? So maybe a bit boring. I am estimating her rating. Lyndal and Shara had some of the tofu in this and said it was not enjoyable. Shara said it was like egg bread covered in sugar.

Weird Dried Fish Thing
Lyndal: Arrived warm. Picked some flesh off the fish, ended up with a bone stuck in my throat. Meat was tasty enough. Nobody was sure what you were actually meant to do with this guy in relation to the soup.

You don't do anything with the fish in relation to the soup, you just eat it. It's a side dish like kimchi. That looks like a standard salted, semi-dried fish which has been pan-fried before serving, which is my favourite kind of fish ever.
ReplyDeleteAlso raw egg in tofu soup is the best, because thanks to the magma-hot earthenware pot they serve the soup in, the egg gets cooked straight away and is delicious.
Also lol @ joo for ordering chicken teriyaki in a korean joint.
The "combination" probably just refers to the fact that you get other side dishes with whatever soup you order i.e. the pan-fried dried fish, which is just eaten along with your soup and rice. So the fish wasn't meant to go in your soup, but the egg was, although it's not compulsory (you just end up with wispy cooked egg bits in your soup.) That's actually one of my favourite fish to eat!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you went to BCD! When I went there I didn't know what to do with the fish either. It kept looking at me. The tofu soup with egg is what I got there because it is tasty.
ReplyDeleteHave Twinkies never made it to Australia? That seems very strange for some reason.
