Where I Like to Chow Chow Chow!
I have been tagged. Surprise! Surprise! This time by the clever Velverse who loves to eat very good food and take nice journeys to and fro. This passion for food is shared by her cousin, Nicole, who devised this meme. How to play?
The rules are simple:
1. List out your top 5 favourite place to eat at your location.
2. Put down your link below together below the name/nick of the person who tag you and link directly to your post. Please include the state or country you’re from.
Nicole (Sydney, Australia)
velverse (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)
Simple American (Sugar Land, Texas, USA)
3. Tag 5 other people (preferable from other countries/states)
Where do I like to eat? Such a hard question? Really have to think.
*tick tock tick tock*
And the unanimous decision is: !!!!!
5. Whataburger
My first job ever was with a long forgotten burger chain called Herfys. I worked there for six months and then Whataburger acquired the chain. Shortly thereafter I became addicted. The beef is of better quality than Herfys and there is something in the salt and pepper that is different. I do not know what the spice is or if it is the type of pepper. But it is different and I like the flavor.
My favorite Whataburger is in Brenham, TX. But I am fortunate that I can actually walk to one of their restaurants from my house if I so desire. In fact when they opened that restaurant, Ed and Mark, my two original partners in 12 to Midnight met there to plot our takeover of all things horror in d20.
I am a big fan of Italian food. My biggest disappointment of the last couple of years is that the Macaroni Grill closed its restaurant in Stafford. Now I have to go to Galleria to get my fix. I love the loaves of bread they bring each table. It is so good, especially soaked in olive oil and pepper. And their lasagna is just to die for. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
3. Kim Son
Kim Son is an example of how quick the American dream can blossom. The family escaped from Viet Nam after the war and came to Houston. The family had a restaurant in Saigon called Kim Son, and they decided to do what they know best and opened up a restaurant in downtown Houston with the same name.
As a student at University of Houston, I remember many a midnight meal eaten at oold Kim Son location. We would leave the computer room and go there for a break. I used to love eating their Singapore noodles. Very spicey and nice with lots of curry and little brine shrimps.
Now I like to eat their dips. Especially lettuce wraps with their peanut sauce. It is so good. And at the Stafford restaurant (pictured above) you can have dim sum.
If you want to eat Chinese food like Chinese people eat you must go to the restaurants they prefer. Fungs Kitchen is one of those restaurants. Their location in Sharpstown had grown from its small crowded dining room to spread out and take over half of the building that houses it today.
They have fine dining and serve dim sum. When it is a special occasion that we need to celebrate this is where we come. They have one of the best Chinese chefs in Houston and you have to taste his steamed fish or lobster. To die for.
Sometimes a man has to go and eat meat. I talking beef here baby. And when he eats this meat it has to be the best. And if the name includes Texas, the man can be quite certain that the food will be the finest and have Texas size portions.
But you don’t just get good food there. There is cozy ranch house ambience that makes you want to kick your feet up and sit a spell. And you will wait when you go there. There is always a line. But they treat you right with free popcorn and soft drinks while you wait.
The best part is when you order your steak. The waiter takes you back to their butcher shop and you pick the cut of meat right there. I love coming here. Its not just a meal, but an experience.
So there it is. I love to eat here!!!!
Oh yes. I need to tag people. Scan near and far.

Texas beef protions look huge… even from the small photo. I don’t know how you fellas can eat that much.
SA: They sell this one steake platter. I forgot how big the portion is. But it is so huge that if you can actually finish it they will not charge you. Too big for me to try. haha
March 27th, 2007 at 1:20 am

SA: Come on over and try some Doc!
March 27th, 2007 at 8:19 am
I don’t know why, but the way Americans always talk about their food makes me think that what I eat over here sucks in comparison.
I really should come over for a whattaburger.
SA: There is good food in Europe. Your cheeses are just awesome for example. And then there is the beer.
Come on over and we’ll get some.
March 27th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
Haha… just tagged you this meme too, never know you did it so fast!
SA: That is why I am the king. muahahahaha
March 27th, 2007 at 8:18 pm
Wow. I like grilled chicken at Whataburger. Lately, I’ve been on a Chipotle routine. Every week, thrice a week. It’s only rice and chicken, I still don’t understand the fascination!
SA: They opened up a Chipolte near the Town Center in Sugar Land. My family likes chomping on those too.
March 27th, 2007 at 8:50 pm
I like that Taste of Texas’s concept! So nice to be able to choose your slice of meat hor?!
SA: It is a neat idea. They have a bakery on site too. So always smelling the bread baking too. Yum!!!
March 30th, 2007 at 11:51 pm

SA: You’ll lik it here. *slurps*
