Mesa Goreng

If you have no idea what the deal is, start HERE

So this week I was planning on reviewing a pizza place by my work, but when I ordered, it was terrible and I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. So instead I'm gonna review this amazing dish made by my awesome roommate!

Mesa Goreng (Indonesian-style stir fry with carrots, tomatoes, chicken, ramen and a fried egg) 
At my house
Price: $$$$$ Fee: She cooks, I clean. Eat-in only.
So to be completely honest, I have no idea what this dish is; Google didn't help much but it did recognize the name. All I know is that it's the easiest thing to watch being made with maximum flavour.
Everything you'll need
She started out with garlic and oil, adding in the carrots after it had a chance to heat up, adding in sundried tomatoes a little while in. 



                                                           Oh dang, look at that sizzle
                                                   
I've never had the ramen we used, but it was delicious and now I want to find it. It came with chili sauce, garlic oil and soy sauce packets along with the standard seasoning.

It's four or nothing in this house
We popped the chicken in, and set the ramen to cook. After those were both done, she put the chicken and veggies in with the drained noodles and added all the sauces and seasoning together.
And then, she made magic.
Beautiful

Honestly the fried egg is what elevates this dish. I love eggs, I love frying things and I love putting fried eggs on anything.
Voila!

The result was an intensely savoury and spicy stirfry that I inhaled in about 20 seconds. This recipe is super easy and adaptable,  and I can see myself making this with pretty much any ramen pack and available veggies. 10/10 to my glorious roommate and her wok skills!
Happy Eating Everyone, and Happy Holidays!

Portland Part I

If you're a bit lost, start  HERE Over the summer, I was supposed to do a lot of things. I was supposed to climb a mountain (yeah right), work on my writing (ditto), and go to a music festival. The music festival plan went 10 types of sideways, so instead I went to Portland for 4 days to eat my way through America's hipster capital. LET ME TELL YOU I did not want to come home. I may have cried a little upon liftoff. But before all the sadness and goodbyes, I managed to enjoy the city throughly. Rolling in on a balmy August Wednesday, the city welcomed me with open arms. The first thing I noticed about downtown Portland was that the transit system was way better than back home. (thanks Calgary) The second thing I noticed was the food carts.  In a handful of strategic spots downtown, Portland has given an entire city block over to various food carts. I'm talking tacos, shawarma, donair, kebobs, fried chicken, ramen, paleo BBQ, sushi, Cajun cuisine, donuts...

I have Instagram!

I FINALLY got a new account set up just for all of my food pics, dreams, aspi- and inspi-rations! Go follow me @tallblondehungryyyc ! Happy Eating!
