KOREAN GROCERY STORE IN ORLANDO!  I'M SURE THERE ARE A FAIR AMOUNT HERE BUT  I MADE IT AN AGENDA TO DROP BY THIS ONE AND EXPLORE!  I'VE ALWAYS PASSED BY THIS GOING TO CREW PRACTICE ON LEE ROAD BUT NEVER MADE ANY ATTEMPTS TO GO IN.  IT IS RANDOMLY PLACED IN THIS BARE SHOPPING CENTER, SO IT HAS NEVER REALLY BEEN ENTICING TO DRIVE INTO. BUT RECENTLY THE INCREASE IN CURIOSITY WITH THE KOREAN CULTURE HAS MADE ME EXPLORE.

OFF EXPLORING I GO !

COLORFUL, NEAT, SETTINGS.  THEIR PRODUCT PLACEMENT IS QUITE UNUSUAL.

DID NOT GET MUCH. BUT SNACKS ARE DEFINITELY NEEDED FOR THE ROAD. CHOMP!  IT TASTED LIKE AN OTHER SHRIMP CHIP, BUT ON THE THICKER SIDE.

2012 12.24 ETHNIC ICE CREAM FINDS AT INTERNATIONAL FOOD CLUB

Phone:(321) 281-4300

Hours:  Friday hours 9:30 am–7:00 pm

BACK IN DECEMBER I MADE MY 2ND TRIP BACK TO THIS GROCERY STORE THAT IS HIDDEN IN THIS AREA THAT I WOULD NEVER HAVE GUESSED TO BE AN ETHNIC GROCERY STORE.  

  

ONE OF THE ITEMS I PICKED UP OUT OF CURIOSITY WAS THIS ICE CREAM/SHERBET WITH RICE NOODLE.

ROSE WATER INFUSED SHERBET WITH RICE NOODLES WAS THE DESCRIPTION.
AFTER TRYING, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY......"ICK".
THE NOODLES WERE VERY SOFT AND THE OVERALL TASTE  WAS VERY BLAND.  YOU CAN DEFINITELY TASTE THE ROSE WATER. IT WAS LIKE TASTING PERFUME WITH NOODLES.  DUH! I DONT EVEN LIKE THE ROSE TASTE IN WINES. 

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT I WOULD NOT LIKE THIS COMBINATION.

2012 11.30 ORLANDO FOOD FINDS_TWIST ASIAN FUSION

TWIST ASIAN FUSION
45 West Crystal Lake Street  Orlando, FL 32806

WOKE UP AND DECIDED TO GO CHECK OUT SODO.  WHAT ON EARTH IS SODO.  

LOOKED IT UP AND DUH! IT STANDS FOR SOUTH OF DOWNTOWN ORLANDO.I REMEMBER COMING HERE ON THE FLY ONE DAY AND TWIST ASIAN FUSION CAUGHT MY EYE.  SO  I HAD TO COME BACK!  

ALTHOUGH THE NAME GAVE ME A DIFFERENT IDEA OF WHAT THE MENU WAS GOING TO BE LIKE, I FOUND THE SELECTION TO BE A YAWN.  I DIDN'T REALLY SEE ANY "TWIST" TO THIS PLACE. AND THERE WAS NOTHING FUSION ABOUT THE FOOD WITH THE EXCEPTION  THAT IT INCORPORATED CHINESE AND SUSHI, AND A LITTLE CURRY AS THE DIFFERENT TYPE OF ASIAN FOOD IN THEIR MENU.  THE DECOR WAS AMAZING.  THE AMOUNT OF CUSTOMERS ON A THURSDAY LATE AFTERNOON WAS SAD.  BUT THAT GAVE ME ROOM TO TAKE PIX WITH NO CLUTTER OF VISUALS, AKA PEOPLE!

THE PRICES WERE SLIGHT ON THE HIGH END, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT SOME OF THE RAW FISHES IN THE SUSHI FROM OUR ORDERS WERE EXTREMELY FRESH!  SCANNED THROUGH THE MENU A FEW TIMES AS ALWAYS AND THERE WAS NOTHING NEW NOR ENTICING AT THE MOMENT. 

EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS IN THE PAST AT A DIFFERENT RESTAURANT, I DECIDED I WAS IN THE MOOD TO HAVE IT AGAIN.  THEY LABELED THIS THE MALAYSIAN FRIED RICE $10.

WE ALSO ADDED A TUNA/CREAM CHEESE ROLL $6.


























THE TEXTURE OF THE RAW TUNA WAS RIGHT ON TARGET.  REALLY LIGHT, YET FRESH ENOUGH WHERE YOU CAN TASTE THE SWEETNESS OF A FRESH RAW TUNA.  
MY BROTHER GOT THE CHICKEN TERIYAKI $20, IN WHICH I THINK IS A WASTE BECAUSE IT IS BASICALLY GRILLED CHICKEN WITH SWEET SOY SAUCE (TERIYAKI) ON TOP OF IT WITH A BIT OF OTHER SIDE ITEMS. BUT, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT THE SUSHI WAS REALLY FRESH!

2012 11 22 TURKISH COFFEE, ANYONE?

ALWAYS INTRIGUED WITH THE TASTE OF THE WORLD, MY EYES CAUGHT THIS IN THE COFFEE AISLE AT THE INTERNATIONAL FOOD CLUB STORE (4300 L B McLeod Road  Orlando, FL 32811.  

AND I QUESTIONED WHAT TURKISH COFFEE TASTED LIKE.

AND I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT IT WAS REALLY DISGUSTING.  IT TASTED LIKE NASTY WATER THAT HAS NOT GONE THROUGH THE FILTER WAS MIXED IN WITH SOME COFFEE TASTING DISASTER, BLENDED WITH SOME TASTE THAT WAS RELEVANT TO NUTS.  IT MADE ME WONDER IF THE WATER THAT I HAD JUST BOILED WAS THE PROBLEM TO THIS DISGUSTING TASTE.

POUR THE FRESH BOILED WATER IN ANOTHER CUP AND DECIDED THAT WAS NOT THE CASE.  REGARDLESS OF THE BRAND OR THE FACT THAT THIS WAS INSTANT COFFEE, I'M GLAD THAT I DID NOT SPEND MORE THAN $1.50 FOR THIS INSTANT COFFEE PACKET.

MY TASTE BUDS HATED IT!
