Buddhas' Trip to the USA: Dinner
With Buddha Dog in the car, we really didn't want to "dine" at a restaurant for long, so on our way driving home, we stopped by Bellis and grabbed something quick at the food court.
LOL!!! Not sure why I grabbed pizza...but I was hungry, I settled with whatever came to me first...and Sbarro was the first stall that I walked by.
I ordered two slices (bad idea)...a Ham & Pineapple and a Mushroom & Cheese...no good. Thick dough...not too much ingredients...however, it was quite nice that there were chunks of ham on the H&P pizza.
I also picked up two pizza dips, these looked quite interesting...taste? Well, the chipotle one was nice...the garlic one was very garlicky and creamy...buttery...hahahaha!

Buddhas' Trip to the USA: Dinner
Buddha Boy, again, after walking around and "studying" all the menus, settled with Ivar's...I know...so unlike him...but don't forget...these seafood were deep-fried...LOL!!!
Fish & Chips...though these were quite nice (since they were fresh), but I don't like breaded fish...I like battered ones...especially with Buddha Boy's beer battered fish...mmm...yum!!!
Deep-Fried Clam and Popcorn Shrimp...I think that's what they call these. Both were not bad, just food-court quality.
I wanted the Shrimp Cocktail...I know...don't ask me why I wanted this at a food-court...it looked quite good from the menu picture...but the truth? It sucked! The sauce was way too salty...and the shrimp had a funky taste to it...LOL!!!

Buddhas' Trip to the USA: Dinner
Knowing Buddha Boy, above food was not enough for him...no real "meat"...so he scouted around for something "meaty"...hehehehe!
So he went over to Orange Julius and ordered a Pepperoni Cheese Dog...nothing special...just cheese, pepperoni, and some pizza sauce on a beef wiener in a bun...hahaha...at least it's something "meaty"...LOL!!!
He also picked up a drink for me...I just wanted a simple signature Orange Julius...haha...they should not mess this one up!
(Psssss.... There Old Country Buffet!!!!)
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA! I was wondering if you would go there one of these days!
That aside, it is "sad" when the dipping sauce is better than the main dish.
Yah I agree with BB, fish and chips batter should be batter not breading. Its just not the same. Its been a long time since we've been to Bellingham. I'd like to try Bobby's Hawaiian.

ReplyDeleteI think the last time at Old Country Buffet was earlier this year. I don't remember why though. You should sigh up for their e-club, you get a free (as in 2 for 1) coupon. ;p
@Crispy
Bobby's doesn't open on sunday's or monday's. We do intend on hitting Bobby's Hawaiian and Georgia's Greek Cafe sometime in the early spring for a day trip. My boss turned me onto an anthony sedlak beer batter recipe that is really good.
Oh boy, eating at Bellis Fair food court :-O
ReplyDeleteI heard there's an excellent roadside (read: food cart) taqueria on Guide Meridian between the Pro Golf Discount and the Super Gas station, you can see their cart and white tent here (just behind the white car):

Another worthy eatery is Bob's Burger & Brew (several outlets in the area):

Doesn't everything seem bigger in the States?? That slice of pizza looks like it's about to eat YOU, not the other way around...
ReplyDeleteAnd how interesting that there is shrimp cocktail in a food court... only in America.. LOL
Hahahaha!!! Yes munchkie!!! That's why Buddha Boy and I love shopping in the States...they have our sizes...bigger sizes!!! Everything is a size or two bigger than Canada's...even food!!!
