Chickie's & Pete's

On a warm Monday evening I decided to visit Chickie's & Pete's Sports Bar in English Creek, NJ.  I went to experience the All U Can Eat Crabs that everyone talks about.  To my surprise when I scanned the menu my initial interest was rapidly altered by  the Lobster Roll.  Ahhhhh!!! I felt as if a halo was shinning over my head  when I saw the Lobster Roll on the menu.  My Server Brittany seemed very nice and ready to accommodate my every need.  She informed me that menu is a la carte.  I first ordered the famous Crabfries, and Chickie's Style Hot Shrimp to start, and the Lobster Roll to add a finishing touch.  The atmosphere was calm being as though it was a Monday and I felt very comfortable.  The one problem that I had was after I ordered my Lobster Roll, Brittany told me that it comes with Sweet potato crabfries.     Hmmmmm!!! Being as though she was so nice and didn't come off to be a know it all  I didn't fuss.  It wasn't like I couldn't handle all the carbs, but I probably wouldn't have ordered both.

Appetizers:  Crabfries,  Chickie,s Style Hot Shrimp

Entree:  Lobster Roll on a New England Roll and Sweet Potato Crabfries - the lobster simply melted in my mouth in a light sauce that complimented the lobster nice,  The roll was light in texture and toasted, and the sweet potato fries had the perfect crisp and they were  well seasoned with a light drizzle of a sweet sauce.  SIMPLY DIVINE!

I can't wait until my next visit and perhaps I will stick to my intended choice All U Can Eat Crabs.  The next time you're near the shore visit Chickie's & Pete's Sports Bar or search for a location near you.

Jo Jo's Italian Grill


Another great dish,  but not on the menu Mussels with shrimp, and scallops in a tomato and white wine sauce yummy

As recommended by my dear sista friend, and twin I went to Jo Jo's dined in alone and experience a very delightful meal.  Puttanesca  a wonderful experienced for the palette.
Appetizer:  Egg Plant Bruschetta (complimentary) and salad

Entree: Puttanesca Fettucini, tomatoes, kalamata olives. garlic, onions, and capers in a light sauce ( Jas will give me the technical term)

I always enjoy Jo Jo's the few times that I have dined in the service was good, but the majority of times that I visit, I do take out.  The service is usually good either way. I'm so grateful for the recommendation from my twin.  She is one of the few people that could probably order food for me.  The next time you want a bite to eat stop by Jo Jo's EHT.  Always looking for recommendations!!!!!

                            

                          

Jo Jo's Italian Grill Egg Harbor Township, NJ

Jo Jo's Italian Grill is a favorite for many of the locals.  I decided to post my take out dish be cause they even take pride in the containers that they use.  Some may think that Jo Jo's is over priced, but I think they use good quality ingredients.  I love their Egg Plant Parmesan! Sorry no picture of the salad or the roll.

Koreana Food Philadelphia, Pa

                                                            

Koreana Food Philadelphia Pa

Koreana food is a little hole in the wall with phenomenal food located on 38^th Walnut St. Philadelphia.  The menu was reader friendly for non Koreans and the owner was there ready to help for those like me who needed further assistance.  The experience was GREAT and the flavors left a lasting impression.  I apologize for not being to explain all the contents of each dish because this experience is very new to me.  I told the owner and his wife how pleased I was with everything and assured them that I would return.  I also informed them that I have a food blog and would be sharing this experience they both chuckled.  They are extremely friendly people and the food was simply outstanding I couldn’t help but notice the very diverse crowd that was dining in.

Appetizer: Spicy Vermicelli Fish Ramen

Beverage: Aloe Water

 Entrée (Jasmine) Koreana Do Sirak (Bento) Box Beef Bulgogi this was like a sampler and looked and smelled delicious

Entrée (Trina) Dol Sot Jeyoo Chicken this was a sizzling bowl filled with rice vegetables, chicken and a fried egg on top

I can’t wait to visit Koreana Food again the atmosphere was great and the people were very friendly.  The service was tremendously quick and everything was hot in fact my leftovers was still warm when I got to New Jersey.  The prices are very affordable and the food portions are large.

Bonefish Grill Egg Harbor,NJ

Bonefish Grill Egg Harbor NJ

Appetizer: Bang Bang Shrimp

Entree: Ahi Tuna, Jasmine Rice, Vegetable Medley

I tried the tuna for the first time and I had it cooked well done.  I think if I would have had it the way it's suppose to be prepared it would have been better, however I'm not ready to experiment with uncooked fish.  Tonight the service was great and my food presentation was beautiful.  I will be visiting Bonefish Grill again soon especially on a Wednesday they have a speciall on their famous bang bang shrimp.

   

Ventura Offshore Cafe Northfield, NJ

Salad: House Salad with balsamic vinaigrette

Entree: Pasta Daniella, jumbo shrimp, spinach, cappellini pasta, red roasted pepper in a garlic rosa sauce

The atmosphere of Ventura's was wonderful and inviting the service was quick , delicious and everything was pipping hot.  I enjoyed the complimentary italian bread that was given with a hint of italian sauce.  My only complaint would be they took me as far to the back of the restaurant as they could.  Although they weren't that busy I don't think no point was intended.  I would be happy to visit Ventura's again and perhaps order their famous mussels they looked delicious and they give a lot.  The prices are very affordable and they give large portions.

Soup: Lentil

Appetizer: Vegetable Samosa potatoes, chick peas, cashews Indian spices

Entree: Murg Tikka (Tandoori - Indian Barbeque) - Marienated chicken par grilled with spices. Naan(type of bread), and Jasmine Herbed rice

      Makhani Sauce                                      Inside of Samosa

My server was Paveen, he was awesome very willing to help me with my Indian selections.  The atmosphere was very inviting and I loved the decorations especially the chairs which had a peacock etched on them simply beautiful.  It's sid that I was the only one there but I really felt like I had a personal chef, which always make me feel special.  The workers are very friendly in this family owned business.  They have dishes from north and south India.  The aroma of the food quickened my palette with a burst of flavors.  It was like a taste of heaven.  It would be a great place to have a business meeting, solo dinner, or gathering with friends.  Some may like to know that it is BYOB, which is of no interest to me.  The prices are good for what you receive, but may not be ideal for a family budget.  The next time you're in Egg Harbor Township, NJ and feel a little risky try FEATHERS.
