The magic of Chinese take-out is that I can get my order in fifteen minutes or less. The downside is that most Chinese take-out places I’ve ordered from don’t serve authentic Chinese, except for Eastern Pearl Chinese Cuisine and Magic Wok. For now, let me introduce you to Eastern Pearl. This restaurant is tucked away […]

Barilla Linguini, Classico’s Basil Pesto, and California Sun Dry Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Paxia Alta Cocina Mexicana & Tequila Lounge
Orlando Weekly’s Orlando Restaurant Week had started a few days prior, and Paxia’s lunch menu had some of the most unique lunch offerings on the $10 tier. The strawberry flan especially caught my eye. I found out later that Paxia only offers lunch Monday through Friday, but they still had their Orlando Restaurant Week dinner […]
Food Truck Bazaar 2 at Fashion Square Mall

I’ve enjoyed the hummus, salads, fresh cookies, and beer inside the […]

Sunrise Catering 1 at Orlando International Airport
Eat Local Orlando mentioned there were food trucks mere minutes out of my way, so I had to take a quick lunch expedition!
