Event #7 Take out

 For Event #7 We ordered take out from various local restaurants and had different cuisines including Chinese, American, Thai and Mexican.  We enjoyed the food and then ranked our favorites.

Gold US   Nordy's BBQ

The rest of the family was visiting, so we got BBQ from Nordy’s.  I think it’s the best BBQ in northern Colorado.  We had pulled pork, sausage and brisket with mac and cheese, baked beans and cornbread muffins and all of it was excellent.

Silver  Thailand  Chili Thai  chicken pad Thai

Chili Thai in Windsor serves Chinese and Thai food.  The pad Thai was really good. It had chicken, egg, bean sprouts, green onion, peanuts, noodles and a good tasting sauce.

Bronze China     Asian pearl bistro kung pao chicken

Asian pearl bistro chicken with peanuts, green onions and hot chili peppers (I didn’t eat those).  A pretty good version of kung pao chicken.

Bronze Mexico  Mi Tierra al pastor burrito

Mi Tierra in Windsor.  I ordered an al pastor burrito In a burrito plate with rice and beans.  I had it smothered in mild green chili but it was still a bit spicy. I Really liked the pork in the burrito and the rice and beans were very good.

 

 

Mexico Mi Tierra chicken enchiladas

The shredded chicken was very good with green chili on top that was also good. I ordered the plate with very good rice and beans.

 

US   Anthonys pizza

This was a good sized 18 inch NY style pizza.  A bit greasy but a pretty good pizza.  It is NY style pizza so I’m counting it as American food.

Thailand Chili Thai  thai basil chicken

Stir fried entrée with chicken and vegetables and quite a bit of basil.

China    Chili Thai  chicken lo mein

Basic lo mein but a good version of it with chicken, carrots cabbage and onions.

              

China Asian pearl bistro  sweet and sour chicken

Typical sweet and sour chicken with the red sweet and sour sauce.  This was an alright not to bad entrée.

New Sun Restaurant - Ogden Utah

August 16, 2018

This restaurant was walking distance from our hotel so we walked over.  We went in the front door but I think the back was more of their main entrance and this was about 7 o’clock. It was mostly empty inside but a few more people came in while we were there. So we were seated right away and took a look at the menu. I decided on the cashew chicken, mom had the basil chicken and dad had the Yakisoba noodles. 

These all came with soup and we all picked egg drop soup. Soon the soup was brought out it was okay but not really great. Soon after our entrées arrived. 

 

I thought the cashew chicken was pretty good. It had a good flavor and the meat and veggies were pretty good, but I didn’t really like the pineapple. This was served with regular white rice.

 Mom had the basil chicken and liked it but said she’s had better elsewhere.

Yakisoba noodles were a new thing for dad, he thought it was all right. I thought the food was pretty good and they serve plenty of it and I would consider returning.

Wok Wei - Goodyear Arizona

March 14, 2018 

We were planning on eating elsewhere, but the other place was rather crowded looking so we came here instead which wasn’t very busy. We were greeted and seated right away and drink orders were taken soon after and then our dinner orders not long after that. I ordered the Kung pao chicken for 8.75. Mom ordered the orange chicken combo for 10.25 that came with fried rice, an egg roll, cheese puffs, lo mein and soup. Dad ordered the mongolian beef for 9.25.  These were all served individually on each plate and not family style. 

 

I liked my Kung pao chicken quite a bit. The chicken with some veggies and peanuts was all combined with a tasty sauce. But I think it was the worst of the three entrées. 

 Dad really enjoyed his Mongolian beef and what I tried of it was absolutely delicious. 

But I think the orange chicken was even better! This was nice and crispy and had a bit of a sweet and a bit of spicy to it. 

Mom really enjoyed her meal combo but it was too much food for her to eat. I happily ate a few more pieces of her orange chicken although I couldn’t eat all my meal either. Once we were done eating what we could we finished up with our fortune cookies. 

Although we weren’t planning on eating here we were very happy that we did and we had an excellent meal.
