▌推薦 ▌好事多Costco|有機葡萄乾肉桂全麥土司 Raisin Cinnamon Whole Wheat|自有品牌加鹽奶油



到美國後很多生活習慣、飲食方式等都跟在台灣不一樣,我最喜歡逛超市,走走逛逛看看,覺得很好玩很新鮮,似懂非懂的東西久了也似乎也都了解了。 很開心自己的小小進步,樂觀的覺得以後在這邊生活也會非常愉快(傻笑

為何寫這篇好像不怎樣的文章,跟葉佩雯也扯不上邊的介紹文呢?
因為覺得好好吃喲!
真的不意外自己身材不斷走樣,當你發現這東西好吃,你怎麼可能只買一次呢?一定會再次回購,然後發現食物營養表上的熱量後再一邊吃一邊後悔。



Alpine Valley有機葡萄乾肉桂全麥土司 Raisin Cinnamon Whole Wheat


這吐司一開始是在Costco裡面一位大叔發試吃品,一吃驚為天人,立馬買下。
大叔發食物時是有微烤過,抹上奶油,香味四溢、齒頰留香,沒有懷疑就馬上拿著放進購物車。


包裝上那個圓圓綠綠的USDA-ORGANIC標識,就是說這是經過美國認證的有機產品,說實在的我常常看到這個就會想買那個商品,阿蘭就會覺得我根本就是「盤仔」。












尺寸小小的,我也不知道為何在這個充滿巨大尺寸的國家吐司都如此之小。
沒有烤過咬起來軟軟甜甜,葡萄乾味道濃郁搭配淡淡肉桂香。但我個人喜歡烤過的,表皮微脆,外酥內軟,葡萄乾一樣濃但是肉桂味道彷彿也被帶出,也變成主要主角之一的感覺。







好事多自有品牌加鹽奶油 Costco Kirkland Signature Salted Sweet Butter



奶油本來沒有要買的,但是試吃的時候試吃大叔抹了奶油,阿蘭就說應該連奶油一起買才會一樣好吃,所以我腦波很弱的就買了但你知道的,好事多什麼都很多,上面介紹的吐司就是一次你要買兩條,這奶油更是驚人,因為你一次要買三盒,一盒裡面有四條奶油。然後已經過期了還有一盒多沒用完,真的是要被雷公打死了。

▌食 ▌TN | Memphis | Southwind | DWJ Eastern Grill & Sushi Bar



There are not many Korean restaurants in Memphis and all i knew were far away from my place. But I had eaten in DWJ for twice, that means it was pretty good but I truly don't recommend it . 


The first time we went there was lunch time and the good thing was they has Lunch Special Menu and the dishes were delicious.

This time we went there in dinner time. There were only few people inside and two waiters serving.

After we ordered, the waiter didnt give us side dishes until main dishes came. it was wierd because it never happened before not only in the State but also in Taiwan.
And the point was the two waiters were happily having a chat and they didnt refill our water.



Galbi
I forgot its exact price but pretty sure around $24
The photo looks good, and it was tasty. But it was super small....
It didnt worth so much money...ridiculous.



Tonkatsu
Its also a sad dish...super huge plate and small meat.

▌食 ▌TN | Memphis | Midtown | Frida's Mexican Restaurante



That day was our dinner date night. We heard this restaurant was very good so we decided to eat there.  It's our first time eating here, but we were very unhappy and felt disappointed.

At first, we were so happy and enjoyed. The waiter lead us to the second floor, gave us a very good atmosphere table. We could watch night street view and enjoyed cool weather.



We had "Frida's Fajitas for two" $24


They served chips and salsa at first, it was really good. The chips were crispy and smell good; the salsa was also tasty. We were so satisfied with this so looked forward our main course. Unexpectedly it was the only good food in this experience.

It was OK, just OKAY.



This was super bad. It should be a hot dish but its not, the most important was theres no any flavor, it didn't worth $24 meal.
The waiter didn't come to check the meal and he  refill our water. 

So it was really a bad bad experience, we will never come again.

▌食 ▌TN | Memphis | Downtown | Gus's Fried Chicken





The restaurant is a only fried chicken place . Everything is simple and easy to understand; services are fast and good although they are very busy all the time.


this is their menu


We went to there before dinner time so we didn't need to wait for line, but if you go to Gu's later then you need to wait i think.

first time we got 3 piece dark-two thighs and leg $6.70, small greens $1.75
the fried chickens had crispy skins and juicy meat, very tasty.

the funny thing was that we both think this was too delicious so we went to Gus's the day after that day again. But you know that if you have same food everyday that will be not surprised.
It still pretty good but not so impressive as before.

we both are not side dishes fan so we only got fried chickens, and add a ranch sauce $0.05 (it's really good!)


Gus's is still our first choice in Memphis if we want to eat fried chicken :)

▌食 ▌TN | Memphis | Midtown | The Crazy Noodle




It's a cute, special Korean restaurant, why I say it special?
because you cant see any bibimbap, kimchi pot or bulgogi like those common dishes we usually see in the Korean restaurants.

But there're many kinds of noodles dishes in The Crazy Noodle, and I really like it!

menu






Fish Jeon $4.99
A little bit expensive. Only 4 pieces jeon.



Bi-bim Naengmyeum $9.99
Vege was fresh, and the sauce was spicy, with thin noodles
it's delicious.


Jajangmyeon $9.99
I like this dish! but if add some sweet flavor will be perfect.


Jjamppong $9.99
Its really spicy but pretty good.

Crazy Noodle $9.99
I love this!!! The soup was really good, and I was wondering how they cook this while eating haha :P

▌食 ▌TN | Memphis | East Memphis | Osaka Japanese Fusion Bistro











       It's a good place if you really really want to eat Japanese food, because they has lunch special and early bird dinner (not very sure the name, but you have to order before 6)

but  the taste is just normal and the seafood there is not that fresh but acceptable.

▌生活 ▌US | TN | Memphis | 咖啡去冰謝謝!





剛才在chick-fil-a點了午餐想說順便來個咖啡,然後我就說:
「And...I want a iced coffee without ice. 」

店員大驚!
然後連續問我三次
「Iced coffee no ice?!」「Iced coffee no ice?!」「Iced coffee no ice?!」


「ah....yes(語氣已上揚,開始懷疑自己是不是有問題)」


然後這位老兄一臉困惑還跑進去問店長,重點是在問的同時,整間店的店員都停止手邊工作並全神貫注得聽然後搭配看到外星人的吃驚表情。



沒有錯就是歪果仁的誇張表情再加一點驚嚇)

然後他後來問我可不可加一點點冰,我看他有點崩潰就說好,之後他把咖啡遞給我時表情還是超級困惑並感覺有困難。









呃⋯⋯對不起下次不會再為難你們了(跪)

ps.他們冰咖啡都已經調好了,所以就是倒在杯子裡,加一點牛奶後蓋上蓋就可交出了,呃⋯⋯可能不加冰塊的指令太複雜了抱歉了美國人。
照片就是凶手咖啡(欸
