My FORKING Thoughts on Calbe My Pote White Truffle Premium Potato Chips

I found Calbe My Pote White Truffle Premium Potato Chips at my local Seafood City (A California-based Filipino Supermarket Chain) They caught my eye and the ingredients don’t look too bad so I thought I’d give this small bag a try.

Oh WoW! They are made with French Grey sea salt. That salt is very expensive….Ummmm don’t really know what the truffle flavor really is…..Usually artificial is called truffle essence…..maybe they are being tricky here? I’ll try them anyway.

I open the bag up and take a whiff.

I don’t get truffle but I do get a really strong but good potato smell that I don’t usually get when I open a bag of chips…….Like a smell I get when I make mashed potatoes.

I try a chip…They look a little different and seem to have a little bit of skin on them. They are also small, extra thin, and seem free of oil.

Now I taste one……….They do have more potato flavor than what you usually get in a potato chip that are laced with a little bit of truffle taste and are extra lightly salted. But they also seem extra dry. They are different.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Calbee My Pote White Truffle Premium Potato Chips I do note that your FORKING Thoughts may indeed differ.

Makai Pacific Island Grill North Las Vegas – Newly Opened Hawaiian Casual Restaurant – Worth a Try!

Makai Pacific Island Grill is a casual Hawaiian Plate Lunch type restaurant that will soon be in seven locations in Las Vegas Nevada. A Hawaiian Plate Lunch is usually generous portions of meat or meats, some sides and rice that is usually served in a styrofoam box (here they use aluminum pans). The North Las Vegas Location on Losee Road is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking.

It’s casual. You order at the counter, pay, and seat yourself.

Here are our plate lunches. (below is a regular and large size)

I got the regular size that is TWO meats, TWO sides, and RICE.

JEEPERS I got THREE meals out of this and it only cost a little over $10. It’s cheaper to eat here than to cook at home.

I got Mochiko chicken (fried on the bone), Teriyaki chicken (moist dark meat), tasty kimchi slaw, TWO scoops of brown rice, salad with a tasty dressing, and yaki sauce. It was all tasty and good!

My husband got a large.

He got THREE meats, THREE sides. Kalua pig, katsu chicken, teriyaki beef, macaroni salad, corn, and two scoops of rice.

All good but the beef was a little dry today.

The Magic Noodle Las Vegas NV – Worth a Fork!

The Magic Noodle is a Chinese Hand Pulled Noodle Restaurant located in Las Vegas Nevada. You get either skinny chewy noodles or fat springy noodles here. You get the noodles either stir fried, in soup, or with sauce. This is a tiny popular restaurant so you add your name to the wait list to dine here. The food comes out as it’s ready.

Our first dish out was my fish noodle soup with pickled vegetables.

The fish is mild and tender. The fat noodles are springy. This is full of lots of flavors and also is a bit spicy. This is delicious I’d get it again!

We also shared an onion pancake.

It’s ok but would be tastier with a sauce. Maybe I’m suppose to dunk it in the soup?

My husband tried the Szechuan Beef Brisket noodle. It’s also spicy.

He thought it was very good.

Food was very good, prices were low, and service was speedy friendly and efficient.

The Magic Noodle is Worth a Fork!
