Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...

Carmina's Review on Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi with All Natural Lemongrass Iced Tea from VietYum Philippines

The difference eating the Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi from VietYum Philippines is the way the make your 8" inch  baguette. It is not the typical way how the Vietnamese make it. Carmina can tell by the look and the taste in how they prepare your Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi is how a salad would be because there is additional cilantro on the top where you can see in my picture. The cucumber is on the edge inside the bread together with lemongrass chicken, shredded carrot, pickled radish, liver pate, mayo and hoisin sauce. The Lemongrass Chicken is shredded a way how you prepare a chicken sandwich at home only difference it has been marinated and cooked the Vietnamese way. Lemongrass Chicken is soft and tender with flavor of lemongrass in it where you can definitely say it is Authentic Vietnamese. All Natural Lemongrass Iced Tea came from the freezer because inside you can see ice inside the plastic container with mint leaves floating inside. All Natural Lemongrass Iced Tea is ...
