Melba's


   On Wednesday me and my family went to Melba's.  We were also with our friend Jaime.  Melba's is on 114th street.

   Inside the lights are dim.  There was a bar.  There was one painting.  The right wall has some banquette seating.  There are bricks behind the bar.  There was a Lot of mirrors.  Also a Big window on wall that the door is on.

   For a appetizer I had Auntie D's Mini burger.  The mini burger was mini of course and there was a tooth pick keeping the burger together.  It was yummy.  I also had Spring rolls. In it is rice, black eyes peas,  collard greens and cheddar cheese.  The spring rolls were ok because the combination of the stuff in the spring roll was good. A spring roll is something like a mini taco you get at Trader Jones(for people who go to Trader Jones) but a spring roll does not have meat in it.  A spring roll has veggies in it. My mom thought the spring rolls were delicious because she loves vegetables.   

   The  chicken and waffles were yummy.  The combination of the sweetness of the waffles and the savoriness of the chicken is a great combination.  The chicken and waffles also came with some strawberry butter and syrup.  The chicken was in one large piece that was attached together.  You pull them off and it's a thigh and a leg.  It was Southern fried chicken.  Under the chicken there was the waffle.  If you look at a plate, it fills up the lower middle part.  They were called Eggnog Waffles so I guess the milk was replaced with eggnog.  But I don't know what eggnog is.  Maybe it's milk made with eggs.  Or when you crack an egg, maybe the clear liquid is eggnog.  I also had some ribs that my dad ordered.  They were flavored with mild barbecue sauce. 

   For dessert I had some homemade ice cream.  And my sister had some too.  It was chocolate and it was very thick.  It tasted almost like melted fudge.  I loved it!
This is a picture that Jaime took.

Hong Kong food cart and Crepe Cafe

     

     Today me and my family went to Hong Kong food cart at Bryant Park. At this time of year Bryant park was full of small carts selling everything from jewelry to shirts of the subway in the 1980's. There I got a pig belly bun.  I also shared with my family a ramen noodle bowl.  I loved both foods.  My sister also had a pork belly bun, and my mom had a vegetarian bun.  With the noodles there were pieces of sausage. Also in the noodles there was pork belly scraps, like pieces in it. Another thing in the noodles were strips of cucumber. The pork belly bun was steamed.  It was like a taco soft shell.  It had bok choy and two slices a pork belly meat.  It had a barbeque flavor and was a bit spicy.  


     Another place to get food is a cart called Crepe Cafe.  There I got a Hershey chocolate syrup marshmallow  crepe.  It was delicious.  They also sell there cookies and small treats.
