Barkada is a great place for fresh, tasty, and inexpensive Filipino food. For $7, including tax, you get pile of white rice and a choice of 2 entrees AND a can of soda or bottle of water. Many of the delicious entrees are changed from day to day giving you a great reason to [...] So for Christmas in ’05 (‘ought-five’ as the old timers put it), the missus got me a gift certificate for a place called Congee Village. It was one of those gifts where you open it up and say, “Heyyyyy… Congee Village!” and try to act like you know what it is. Turned out Congee Village is a Chinese restaurant specializing in Cantonese food. Now, why would I want to drive all the way to Manhattan to eat Chinese food when there is excellent Chinese just a mile away at Ocean Empire? The missus, knowing I have a thing for bizarre foods, saw stuff like “boiled goose intestine with bean sprouts,” “boneless chicken feet in thai sauce,” “sweet pea pods sauteed duck tongue in XO sauce” and more and figured it would be a home run. I was invited to a Veggie Dinner. With a heavy heart I agreed to go… you see, I’m a carnivore. Whenever I say that, people always try to sound smart and correct me saying “No, you are an omnivore” (meaning that I eat both vegetables and meat). I then correct them and say, “No, I’m a carnivore.” I will eat fruits and veggies, but my main diet is meat. I love a great steak, a big juicy burger, bacon, sausage, pork chops… but I digress… So, I’m a carnivore. |
