▌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。

▌推薦 ▌The Amish-Buggy | 阿米希人製果醬Amish made jam | peach, dutch apple, strawberry butter



阿米希人製果醬/桃子、蘋果、草莓口味  
Amish made jam/peach, dutch apple and strawberry butter





        住在東岸的人對Amish的東西算是有一些些的著迷(是嗎?還是只有我?哈哈)因為畢竟不是住在俄亥俄或賓州,沒有見到那麼多的Amish(但有讀過一篇文章提到田納西也有少部分Amish聚落)。
而在某次的road trip經過Amish商店看到賣好多麵包、果醬等東西沒買而回去感到極後悔之後,在去納什維爾的某個市集看到有人在賣阿米西製的果醬就不小心一次買了三罐,阿蘭都不停的說:「這也不是常見啊!看到就買吧~」之類的話,腦波很弱的我就會不自禁買下,殊不知根本吃不完。但我是很喜歡這些果醬的,與一般市售果醬不同的點在於吃起來與聞起來味道沒有那麼濃厚,另外似乎用什麼素材製作也會影響到抹醬的質感差異。

       Some of people who live in east of the United States, like me, fascinate Amish product. Once in a road trip, I went to an Amish store and without bringing anything home, I've regretted it ever since. So when I saw there're some Amish products at a marketplace in Nashville, I bought THREE jams at once. Due to Alan's words, "They are special! You can't see it in grocery stores!" I was convinced to buy them and forgot that I can't finish all of them. LOL
       I do really like these jams. They are different from the jams in normal grocery stores. The smell and taste are not as strong as normal jams, and seems like different  materials have different food texture.  


這製造的其實都不是在那些Amish主要常見的州,但也是在那附近啦(欸)他們生意也是做滿大的吼,也是有外銷,可以上他們的網站訂購。
It was made in IL, not like PA, OH,etc, the states that are famous by Amish but to me it is around THERE. LOL
If you are interested in the products, you can contact them.


這罐是桃子果醬,抹起來材質有顆粒感,材質較固體感,有淡淡桃子香氣,味道清爽不黏口。這三罐吃起來我個人比較喜歡桃子口味的。
This is peach jam. there were some tiny granule inside, whole body tend to solid texture and jam tasted fresh and not sticky. This peach jams was my favorite of these 3.


而草莓果醬就非常的水,挖一匙還會滴下來的程度。口味比較甜,並帶有一些微酸,可以清楚看到草莓果粒跟質地,我個人似乎比較喜歡市售的草莓果醬:P
And the strawberry butter jam is very liquid, it will drop if scoop. The taste is more sweet than other 2 jams and a little bit sour. You could see the pulp very easily.
I prefer other strawberry jams in grocery stores :P


哪裡買 where to buy?

▌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.
