Favorite Eateries of 2011

Its not a surprise that I love food. I have had amazing experiences and been to many restaurants this year, but I am going to focus mostly on new eateries and places that have fed me well. During the summer, I realized how much I love finding the best places for foods, especially, if it is a good price or amount of food. I always had the fascination of knowing more about places. Maybe its my way to remember a place or its because I am always looking to explore and making an unfamiliar territory into something I understand. I like trying new delicious foods from restaurants. I mean...who doesn't?

I love Pizza Rock on K Street in Downtown Sacramento. Absolutely delicious! And, Pizza Rock gave me a new experience of pizza.

I also discovered Cafe Soleil. Definitely my favorite place to get a sandwich in Downtown. I discovered this place on accident when I was looking for a different restaurant. I noticed a line and automatically thought I am going there instead.

I do not remember the name of the food truck? at the moment or if it even has a name, but I do know that they sell chicken over rice, lamb over rice, and chicken sandwich, and a few more items that comes with a drink. They have a food truck outside the silo on UC Davis. I also seen them at the McKinley park near the pond and at Caesar Chavez park during the Farmers market in the summer. I like eating their chicken over rice and chicken. I use to order the chicken sandwich, but its a little messy for me. At times when I am really hungry I would think of a place that was close enough, was decent price, and would fill me up, and my mind would think of this food truck many of those times.

I have not forgotten how much I love pizza since I have been in university. I still have occasional cravings for it and when I do I go to Village Bakery.

I remembered one night my friends wanted to go out for sushi and was about to go to Fuji's in Downtown. However, there was not a Fuji's in Downtown Sacramento. We looked up sushi places and was going to go to Mikuni's. But, we saw a different Japanese place called Azukar. It is a buffet too, except you order what you think you might want instead of picking it up in the sushi boat line. I actually prefer this kind of buffet. I like the sushi they have there and that its not the typical sushi you can find at Fuji's or Davis Sushi place.

Siam Restaurant

I been to Siam's a couple of times and I really like this place. I always enjoy their food. And, they give me and my other eating buddies enough to eat for a good price. When I go to a Thai place, I usually want to order a noodle dish, whether that is pad thai, drunken noodles, or trying out a new one. I like curry too, but sometimes I am the only one out of my buddies that wants it. I like going out with people who knows something about food that I dont, especially dishes I have not tried. Tonight, I tried the chili chicken and the beef salad. I think both are delicious. I also really like Thai tea.This place has thai tea, but no refills for the drink.

I think the parking lot for this place is small, but every time that I have been to Siam's I have managed to find a parking spot. Also, I never had to wait in a line to dine in.

During my visit at Siam's yesterday, two events happened. One was that my glasses broke and I became frightened because I could not drive without them on. Good thing my friend help drive me back and put the glasses in a stable position at the moment. The other was that after a few minutes of sitting down, my brother walked in. That was so unexpected. I did not know he was going to go there too.
