The original plan was to hit up a local joint that we frequent quite regularly (we will post about at a later time) and so we drove by this joint, Pao Town.
We heard mixed reviews but decided to take a shot anyway, plus it's Tuesday after all and what else could we possible grab at 5pm?! Well, turns out this little, "hole in the wall" served up $1 beers and the food?... I'll let Poet-ato's explain.
Thank you Meat. Poet-tatos en la casa! So we walked into this modern, simple joint to find some reputable beers on tap and only for a buck! To reiterate, it was 'Dollar Beer Tuesday'. Food was plentiful per order, tasted freshly prepared, and flavor abundant. Here's a breakdown of what we ordered:
Beers:
- Meat = I had the Florida Lager. It works.
- Poet-atos= I had Sapporo on draft. Crisp and refreshing.
Bacon Fried Rice:
- Meat = The rice was cooked exceptionally well. The bacon was crisp and tasty, not burnt and dry like most places that cook their pork ahead of time. The fried egg... shhhhh cant screw that up, and it tied the bacon and the rice in very well. I recommend this one.
- This is the absolute orgasm of fried rice! Jasmine rice, infused with soy sauce, veggies, bacon, egg, and lots of other good stuff top this heavenly dish off.
Korean Dog:
- Meat = eh.
- Poet-atos= Cheap hot dog with mediocre toppings. Go with something else.
- Meat = I have to say, if it wasn't for Poet-atos adding the Sriracha to this dish, it was not going to do it for me. With that said, not the best of choices unless you like Sriracha drenched rice.
- Poet-atos= Steak was tender and flavorful. Rice was soft and fresh, too. The egg was also cooked to perfection. However, the dish consisted of 95% rice and lacked spice (hence the aforementioned Sriracha sauce). More meat and veggies would be appreciated.
- Meat = Sakaya happened and nothing has yet to compare.
- Poet-atos= I make better Brussels sprouts and that's a BOLD statement.
