Any vendor selling monthong durian!

@Stevil It's expensive and has a short season, so I advise you NOT to try it. One of my expat friends dared me to try it, claiming I'd be hooked from then on. I didn't believe him, but I did it anyway. Big mistake. I've loved monthong durian ever since, willing to pay high prices to get it when I can.
I am not comfortable about talking about sex therefore i refuse to answer.
sushi restaurant-yum
The Hungry Hobbit". I absolutely love it. They serve the most amazing burgers and loaded fries, and their craft beer selection is top-notch. The vibe there is super chill and cozy, perfect for hanging out with friends or going on a casual date. Oh, and if you're in the mood for some seriously tasty pub food, you should also check out another amazing pub near me called Fenians. Just check it out and LMK how you like it.
I haven't eaten "fast food" (or had a soda, donut, etc.) in 22 years.
I make real food at home every day.
Control your ingredients and you control your health.
Favorite place to eat? My dining room.
But on the rare occasion that I do eat elsewhere....I prefer Indian and Asian cuisines.
Yes!!! I am not a "sugar" person - savory rules! I like my particular spice and savory set so it's easier to cook for myself. Going out, I enjoy sushi and good seafood places - nothing fried!
At home
Right on! Nothing like home-cooked meals!
I’m a foodie. My local pub has amazing food. I like to think that I make some great food too.
Fast food is a total no go for me due to recent diagnosis of gluten issues.
Fave restayrants are J kogi - Korean street food joint, Fresca - a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, a few sit down sushi joints & a few local Indian restaurants.
@OnaM we are lucky in that with influx of a large ethnic community, an "international" market has opened that breaks up the sundries aisles according to ethnicity (not sure if right word). All Chinese products on 1 aisle, Korean on 1, Japanese, Middle Eastern, Indian, etc. The fruit & veg, meats & seafood sections are to die for & the selection of fresh herbs is just off the chain. Can get a lot of the gluten free flours that I use for a song compared to the premiun prices paid in normal groceries. The meat/seafood section also allows me to get a lot of cuts of meat/seafood types also not available in a general grocery.
A Poke restaurant nearby. It is both fast food and healthy. Rice, Poke, greens and did I mention Poke.
Not familiar with the spelling Pkoe. I have only seen it spelt as Poke (doesn't make it right of course). I supposed an easy way to describe it is diced sashimi marinated or covered in an asian sauce of some kind (teriyaki like, sesame etc) eaten over or with rice. I think its origins may be Japanese but I first discovered it while living in Hawaii.
If I'm not cooking my favorite non-fastfood restaurant would be Texas de Brazil. Actually any Brazilian steakhouse is good enough to give me a foodgasm!
All my favorite restaurants are closed. Still, I'll post them here anyway.
Tokyo Tokyo - Sushi restaurant. They never recovered from the bad economy in 2008.
Yangtze - Chinese restaurant that had been in business over 50 years. Lost to gentrification.
The Mug - Best dang spaghetti on the planet. Nothing but old family recipes from the old country here. 3rd generation of ownership had little interest in keeping the place going.
Yum Yum - American diner type place, but the food seemed to be of much higher quality than similar places.
My own home...where I can control what goes in to the dish...
It was High Tea (English tradition) at Queenston Heights Restaurant in Queenston, Ontario! a beautiful baroque setting with an expansive view of the Lake Ontario Plain below.
Damn, I miss that!
What is High Tea, you ask? [foodrepublic.com]
The Longhorn restaurant. Steak with chocolate moltent lava cake with ice cream!
Olive Garden
They are the stuff of urban legend! For 20 years people have wanted an Olive Garden to build here to no availe. There is one about 40 miles away.
I lived in Italy for 3.5 years. The food is not the same, but for Waco, TX, it’s as good as you can get. @Donna_I
Soul Vegetarian. Their good is on point. Check them out.
Richmond Oysters, East Richmond, Victora, Australia; 7th Heaven, Dong Hoi, Vietnam
There is a Greek place where I live that I visit a couple times a week. They have great food and great service. I've never had a bad meal there.
