Review: Sabaidee Lao & Thai Street Food

Sabaidee Lao & Thai Street Food

5200 Lemmon Ave #100, Dallas, TX 75209

(214) 520-6868

A take-out concept restaurant for Thai food lovers. Tastes authentic and enormous portions!

It might look like the price is very high, but the portion size is probably enough to feed 4 people. So if you want good food, order one item and share it with couple of friends.

The inside looks nice and you can see the kitchen.

You can order and eat inside but it's highly not recommend because it's small and the food comes in to-go box, and the seat is not comfortable. But again, this place is for take-out.

Their iced coffee is delicious!

Pad Thai was so delicious and authentic tasting, with super size portion. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the seasoning is perfect.

Pad Kee Mow( Drunken Noodle) very delicious and aromatic, but not as spicy as you can get in Thailand, but it's all good because you don't want it to be unbareable spicy.

This little take out place is legitimate and authentic highly recommend!

Review: Babe's Chicken Dinner House

Babe's Chicken Dinner House

1006 W Main St, Carrollton, TX 75006

If you live in Texas, you know that we are famous.....very famous.....for fried catfish! We probably have the best fried catfish in the whole universe, and if you are visiting Texas, know that you won't get any better than Babe's.

Babe's chicken dinner house is the gem in the heart of downtown Carrollton, where the magic happens. Anything deep fried is better in Texas. This restaurant is quite big and has a family holiday feel to it. There is no place better than this restaurant to celebrate a family reunion or any type of family celebration in warm heart style.

As you can see, the decoration is perfect for holiday spirit and very family-like. The only problem is that the furniture is kind of worn out, but that's not really a big deal because their food is just sensational.

You will get unlimited sides with a purchase of entree.

Start off with the salad, it's just plain and simple greens, but the dressing is so gooooooood!

Biscuits are irresistible!!!! So damn good, very buttery, crispy on the outside soft on the inside. 

This is the pinnacle of fried catfish! The best one I've ever had in my life as of now. Most places other than Texas, when they fried their fish, most likely the breadcrumb will burned or if not burned the fish will not have cooked. But here, especially Babe's chicken dinner house, it's perfect: the breadcrumb is a beautiful golden-brown and the catfish is cooked perfectly. The freshness of the fish and tasty frying oil and breading flavor is too good!

Their fried chicken is absolutely sensational; the meat is incredibly moist, every part of the meat is tasty and juicy, super crunchy on the outside moist and soft on the inside. One of the best fried chicken in forever!

Hands down the best mash potatoes you will ever have in your life, and I'm dead serious. Extremely creamy, buttery and aromatic with delicious gravy on top, oh man it's heaven!

I've always heard people keep saying doggy bag....I never understand what that means, and now I do. They keep it old school: if you have left over they have a DOGGY BAG for you to pack and take home, funny? Yes, but awesome.

Babe's chicken dinner house is an awesome experience that is a must for any family. Trust me, they will make you really cherish your lovely family, and your family will cherish each other.

Review: Village Burger Bar

Village Burger Bar

Do you want a good burger bar? Like really good one? Look no further this! Village Burger Bar is the BOMB!

Located at the Shops at Legacy in Plano, it's a very awesome place to hang out, get lunch, and chill with a tasty burger and refreshments with very decent price. I promise you, you are going to love this place.

This house made draft root beer is so gooooooooood! You  probably already know that anything that made fresh is always better than the one that mass produced and distributed all over the globe, but this house-brewed root beer is way better than any commercial root beer you'll ever have, organic or whatever, this is the real deal! I like how it comes in glass that makes you or your little one feel like 'cool people' who sip beer and just chill.

Now let's get to the main star: the champagne & cheddar burger. The chefs here are awesome; they really know how to cook a burger. As you can see, the cheese is oozing out with delicious Champagne mustard. The bun is perfect. Most of the time when you order a burger, the chef just focuses on the filling, but here chef toasts the bun and keeps it firm. Awesome! Oh, and if you order a medium rare burger, you will get medium rare. You would be surprised how you have to insist to have your burger done a certain way, and most other place just don't deliver. But they do here! 

This is the definition of addiction. Truffle fries. House cut potatoes fries sprinkled with white truffle oil, Parmesan cheese and parsley. Perfect crispy fries with aroma of white truffle complimented with a little hint of Parmesan cheese and refresh with parsley is sensational. Once you had one fry, you can never stop eating them.

Swiss-Shroom burger. Swiss cheese with sauteed mushrooms and onions with artichoke aoli, almost like a grinder. Meat is so juicy with super tasty cheese and aoli with spinach.

See, like I said, perfect medium rare!

If you want a perfect place to enjoy a burger and have good drinks, look no further than Village Burger Bar. It is your best choice guaranteed. 

Review: Tropical Smoothie Cafe

Tropical Smoothie Cafe

Ah yes smoothies...when we think of smoothies, it's the sweet fruity drink that is so refreshing. But you felt shame because there is tons of sugar in one drink and it sometimes makes you bloated afterward. Don't worry- Tropical Smoothie Cafe is no such thing!

Most of the time green healthy drinks taste like weeds or grass, and you have to spend quite a fortune to buy all the expensive fruits and vegetables and juice them. The worst part is cleaning up afterward.....Just thinking of it makes me tired already. Tropical Smoothie Cafe offers all the nutrition that you want from the miracle green drink that you heard about, but with sensational flavor and for a cheap price and no stressful cleaning after. What more can you ask for!? From their delicious protein shakes to their super green detoxing drinks, they have them all, and they are absolutely delicious! For protein, I highly recommend Chia Bannana Max and for detoxing green I recommend Totally Green.

Just when you think it's too good to be true, they went further to ensure you that they are the best in business: if you come before 9:00 AM IT'S 50% OFF!!!!!! It's about 2 dollar per drink, with all the goodness of nature in just a couple minutes.... Oh my god! After this review I'm getting me some of that Chia Banana Max!!!

Look at the portion size: it's worth every penny and of course people say you can't put price on your health, but why not make the most out of it? Get the best and get it cheap.

And the even more awesome thing is they also have food here, you might think if you gotta do something only stick with one thing, yes I agree: if you are going to be a smoothie place, you should just stick with making good drinks. But boy, I was wrong. Their food is absolutely delicious and healthy! if you look closer to the ingredients they use, it's all health friendly and the flavor is sensational and to top it off, the price is not bad.

Super Grain bowl! So damn delicious and healthy.

Cranberry pecan chicken salad sandwich - it's so goooooooooood!

 Boy, I ranted so much about their products that I totally forgot to mention that their restaurant is decorated Carribean style like a real Islander.

The bottom line is that Tropical Smoothie Cafe is the pinnacle of healthy food and drinks. Healthy, delicious, and cheap. Head over there right now you will thank me later.
