Krittika

Krittika is a my favorite Thai food restaurant in my neighborhood. It's sort of small and you can't bring a lot of people. Each table has its own little paper lantern and it's never very loud, which makes for good ambiance.*

We ordered for an appetizer Tod Mun which are deep fried fishcakes, although good, a smidgen greasy. They are sort of small and don’t fill you up before your meal, which I think is good. These were 4 stars.

For one of the mains we had Prawns with green curry that, to me, was the color of toothpaste and sort of spicy, but the prawns were good and everything else about it was appealing. But, I didn’t have too much of that so I can't say much, but my parents were really liking it. This dish was only 3 stars.

Another thing we had was Yellow Curry which is chicken and potatoes in a yellow curry sauce ( hence the name.) the chicken was good but nothing special. The potatoes were cooked so that they were soft and easy to cut which was good because they were otherwise big non-bite size chunks. This was perfect mixed with the rice and Pad See Aew, but just a tad bit too spicy for me. This dish was 4 stars.

With that, we had my all time favorite dish at Krittika, Pad See Aew which is wide rice noodles stir-fried with carrots and broccoli, and can come with egg (which I believe is traditional)l or a meat selection. We had it with chicken. It was served with a sauce that was indescribable and and the carrots and broccoli had the sauce and were better than amazing. This dish was like 6 stars!

And the best part is we’ve never had a bad meal there and I don’t think you will either! So if you’re in the ‘hood, check it out! The directions are below.

Ciao for now!

Q & A

So I have a question for all you foodies out there!
What (so far) has been the best meal of your life?

Now answer me by postin' a comment and I just came up with a new word!

Ciao,

ZOE!!!!

WELL

So I don't go to many restaurants but I will review what I eat at home! So for dinner two nights ago I believe we had Eggplant Parmesan. The dish consists of egged and breaded eggplant and sauce and CHEESE!!!!!!!!! ( I am not only keen on upper case but, exclamation points, too.) It was very good and was not overcooked. The eggplant was soft, the cheese was melted and the sauce was roasted tomato's with herbs and onion.

The next night we had lovely chicken, garlic and cheese ( Gotta love that cheese) sausages on whole wheat buns! On mine I had mayonnaise and onions. To complement this lovely food with had waffle fries. And so a spin on the classic HOT DOG!

Tonight we have Chicken Salad that I can't review because I haven't had it yet. But, as we speak my dabby is grilling the chicken and I can smell from the computer! I will let you know how it tastes as soon as possible!

P.S. don't you wish you ate dinner at MY house!

And because this is a food blog

Ray's Boathouse vs. Salty's

Hi guys,

I know it's been awhile since I last posted but good thing I've got four new restaurants to review.
First up is the first ever competition between two blogs by the Taste Buds. Ray's Boathouse and Salty's. Let me first give you some background on the two restaurants. Ray's Boathouse is a high-class seafood restaurant with great views of the water. Salty's is a tourist magnet with food good enough to draw tourists back. You may already have an idea whose going to win.

Let's start with the first course,
At Ray's: A beautifully presented crab salad for lack of a better word. There was a little mountain of crab, if I remember right, and heavenly artichokes on top of dandelion leaves. It was delicious and the crab melted in my mouth and went beautifully with the slightly bitter Dandelion Leaves. The artichokes were the first ones I've ever had and have converted me into an artichoke lover. Five stars for that dish!
The other first course dish from Ray's was highly controversial that evening. It was a scallop in a way I had never had it before. Unfortunately I forget the style but maybe I can give you foodies out there some clues. First of all it was luke-warm. Second it tasted like dog food and third there was too much stuff on top that over powered my taste buds. In my opinion they new the dish was a bust so they threw a bunch of crap on top to make it taste better. Like I said before, the dish was controversial. Myself and a diner named Miss Scarlet thought the dish was a one or two, respectively. But a diner named Mr.Black and a diner named Harvomatic thought the dish was more of a four or a five, respectively. (Note: Respectively as in "in that order." e.g. Sally and I ordered Strawberry and Chocolate ice cream. I ordered Strawberry. Sally had Chocolate. Get it?)

Now onto Salty's, (bear with me guys. I know this is a long post. I'll make this short and sweet because I used up most of my creative energy on the Ray's paragraph.)
We had Calamari with fried oysters. It was nothing special. (It doesn't get more short and sweet than that, does it?)

Alrighty folks now you may be asking yourself, "Did they only eat the fist course? And if they did then wouldn't it be the first course, main course, and final course?"

Well I am sorry to say that I am leaving this post off with a cliff hanger. I will write about the main dish when I get back from Disney Land. (I know. What a typical 11 year old thing to do.)

And, don't worry I will add more creative literature when I finish the article. I've also got another Battle of the Fooders coming up so stay tuned.
(I feel like I have a radio show. "Stay Tuned" ha. But seriously, do as I say! Mwah ha ha ha.


) oops I forgot the other parenthesis. Bye.

14 Carrot Cafe

My mom and I went to the 14 Carrot Cafe for lunch today and It gets 2 stars at best.

My mom had lentil soup which she said "tasted like dishwater and lentils with a hint of once-fresh tomatoes" It was one meal I did not want to try. The murky look of the soup was very gross. Total score 1 star.

I had eggs benedict (for people who do not know what that is then I suggest you look it up) and the hollandaise sauce was the color of French's Mustard and the same texture too. The eggs were o.k. and the hash browns were softer than they should be. Total score is 2 stars.

The bathrooms were nothing special. This place wasn't fancy and my mother and I will not be going there again.

Stumbling Goat

Hi, Maude here-

There is a restaurant in Greenwood called the Stumbling Goat. It was my favorite restaurant and we were good friends with the owners but then they sold it to their friends. It's the first restaurant to be reviewed by the taste buds.

The thing I loved to order is the roasted chicken. It came with gravy and really creamy but not heavy mashed potatoes. There was roasted garlic on the side and it was to die for! I also love the mini beef sliders. They are delish.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Taste Buds' Blog. We, The Taste Buds, like to eat at restaurants and review them. This blog will contain those reviews. My friend- who so cleverly came up with the name- is typing right now. She is very fast, it's kinda awesome. I'm laughing right now and she continues to write.

Hi. My name is ______. I'm 11 and I live in Seattle. I would like to play football but I can't because I'm a girl but I play soccer which is way awesomer. When I grow up I want to be a doctor, veterinarian or an astro physicist or a chemist. Not only do Maude and I like the same food but, we like the same books and music (except for a certain artist!!!!!).

Hi. My name is Maude and I came up with the name "The Taste Buds". I am 11 years old and _______ have been best friends since kindergarten. We are on the same soccer team and we used to go to the same school. I want to be an actress when I am older. We like to read. My partner in food ( who in the future will be called m.p.i.f.) said that we like the same things but that does not mean that we have the same opinions or ideas. In fact we fave very different ones.



My friend Zoe (the co-owner of this blog) said to me, after I gave her yet another thing I liked to eat "It's like we have the same taste buds." At the time I laughed hysterically but at dinner I suddenly said, " I have a good name for us: The Taste Buds." And this blog happened.

P.S. The person who made the picture for our header is someone named Anna the Red. She makes bento boxes for her boyfriend.
