Chubby Cattle Hot Pot – Las Vegas NV – Pretty Tasty – Worth a Try!

The Chubby Cattle Hot Pot Restaurant is located in Las Vegas’s Chinatown. This is a restaurant that specializes in Asian Hot Pots or Hardy Soup Meals. They offer a variety of soup bases. Most soup bases do contain pork but they still offer a long list of things to those who don’t eat pork. You start out by ordering your soup base. You order add ons. The add ons come in small and large sizes. We found that small add ons are plenty for two people. They also have extra add ons that go by your table on a conveyer belt. You also use the condiment bar to embellish your hot pot further.

The tables have soup wells built into them to keep your hot pot hot.

You can see by my picture that we tried a lot of things.

I tried vegan Beautiful Tomato Hot Pot and my husband tried House Original Hot Pot.

See how red the Tomato one is in the bottom left corner looks different after you do the add ons.

I added on tomatoes, spinach noodles, pumpkin, baby corn, some mushrooms, and flounder. I also added just a little bit of condiments. Some garlic, cilantro, mirin, sesame oil. Everything is delicious (except for the flounder) I would not recommend getting the flounder here. I’m glad it didn’t spoil my soup. The fish was still edible but fishy. Somehow my soup stayed pretty darn tasty and I had a bunch left over for the next day.

My husband added on wagyu brisket, ramen noodles, mushrooms, potatoes, and extra numbing, spicy sauce. He enjoyed all of his very much.

Chubby Cattle is Worth a Try! (just don’t get the flounder)

Boursin Style Cheese Recipe

This is an easy Boursin Style Cheese Recipe. It’s basically cream cheese, butter, sour cream, some herbs and sweet roasted whipped garlic. I do note that I used dried herbs because it would cost a lot here to buy all fresh herbs. Serving size is always difficult to determine. I’d say that it makes around 12 servings. (Pro Tip – It’s my big fat secret in my deviled eggs that I’ve been making. Everyone says that they are extra delicious)

16 oz cream cheese – room temperature

4 oz butter – room temperature

1/2 cup sour cream

2 oz sweet roasted garlic whipped (roast lots of garlic cloves with olive oil at 300F covered for about an hour – whip- add a splash of honey so it stays fresh or freeze in small portions)

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons parsley

1 teaspoon dried dill

1/2 teaspoon marjoram

1/2 teaspoon basil

1/2 teaspoon chives

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon piment d’ espelette

1/4 teaspoon thyme

Instructions – mix well. Taste. Adjust if you care too!

Napoli Pizzeria – North Las Vegas NV – No Sauce on Pizza – too salty – not the best :(

Napoli Pizzeria has 4 location in Vegas. But for some odd reason the North Las Vegas Location is not listed on the Napoli Website and might only share the name and same sign. On Yelp this restaurant is listed as Napolis Pizza……?…..Maybe they just use the Napoli Sign and same cash register because Napoli is what I see on my receipt. Anyways…..They are an average Pizzeria that offers the usual pizzas, wings, pastas, sandwiches, and more.

We tried a plain pizza.

There’s a good amount of cheese and the crust is ok….but the top is salted….and is really too salty for me.

But-

It’s like the sauce is missing. No herbs, no flavors (but salt), almost no sauce.

Not the best 🙁

A Taste of Cantinetta Pizza & Pasta – Las Vegas NV – Worth a Try!

Cantinetta Pizza & Pasta Restaurant is an Italian Restaurant located in Las Vegas Nevada. They offer many of your usual Italian favorites. They also offer things like beet carpaccio, salmon carbonara, and chocolate fettuccini. They are under the same ownership as Brunello LV in Summerlin and both restaurants are adorned with a Sofia Loren Pictures.

Whatever you order they start you off with warm bread and sun-dried tomato oil.

Maybe you want to start off with the soup of the day (minestrone was the soup)

or a fried eggplant appetizer with creamy walnut sauce.

Below is the beet salad with burrata, pistachios, pine nuts, oranges, greens, and chicken.

One of the pasta dishes is rigatoni picante with spicy nduja sausage.

Another pasta dish is the gnocchi al taleggio with lots of walnuts and some sausage.

Below is the chicken piccata (lunch portion)

A few of the desserts are gelatos (below is 1/2 pistachio and 1/2 Amareno Cherry)

Another dessert is a cake called chocolate temptation.

Everything was at least reasonably good so Cantinetta Pizza & Pasta is Worth a Try!
