Distill A Local Bar – 24/7 – Restaurant, Bar & Gaming Las Vegas NV – Worth a Try!

Distill is a local bar, restaurant, and gaming type of place with close to a dozen locations around Las Vegas and Henderson Nevada. The Centennial Las Vegas location offers a separate dining room away from the bar and gaming. On the menu they offer all day breakfast and a wide assortment of food.

It’s a mix of traditional tables and booths.

We decided to share the buffalo cauliflower with blue cheese dressing.

It has a crispy tempura coating and is fried to perfection. The hot sauce does run spicy and most people out there will enjoy it. I must confess that I am unusually sensitive to certain ingredients. The hot sauce used either contains too much acidic acid or too much condensed vinegar so the sauce is too painful for my palate but won’t hurt most people. Must people will enjoy this buffalo cauliflower.

For my main I enjoyed the Chili Lime Salad with added Salmon. The Salmon came split open with nice grill marks. It’s easy to see that they prepared the salmon sort of medium-ish as they should. The salad is tasty and different with some pico, corn, and avocado with a mild chili-lime creamy dressing.

The build your own burger came out medium-rare as requested with carefully prepared bacon that still had some wiggle and wasn’t dried out crisp like what most places serve.

Distill offers casual food at reasonable prices.

Notable Dish Of The Week – Pork Belly Nom Pang from Nom Pang Las Vegas NV

It’s very rare that I will pick one of my husband’s favorite dishes but I am picking this dish for good reason. He said that this sandwich was amazing! He said that the pork belly was incredible. Even the roll was amazing with the right crunch and just right fluffy interior. He said that this sandwich was so out of the ordinary very good that it might be impossible to order anything else from this restaurant. (it is a baguette sandwich. Normally comes with a spread of mayo (but left off at my husband’s request. It also contains cucumber, scallions, cilantro, pickled carrot, daikon, jalapeño, and that spectacular pork belly .) So……That is good reason to make the Pork Belly Nom Pang from Nom Pang the notable dish of the week!

The Absolute FORKING WORST Potato Chip Ever – FORKING THOUGHTS

The ABSOLUTE FORKING WORST POTATO CHIPS that I ever tried were Christie’s Sweet & Spicy Habanero super natural potato chips.

YUK!

They taste burnt and are too FORKING HOT and burn and are painful to eat.

The bag I got was not edible to me. I honestly don’t think anyone would ever manufacture something so horrible. Maybe that is why Sprouts Grocery was selling them for .99cents a bag?

Those were my FORKING THOUGHTS I doubt anyone’s Forking Thoughts will differ.

Little Dumpling Las Vegas NV – Worth a Try!

Little Dumpling is a casual American/Chinese Restaurant located in the North/West part of Las Vegas Nevada. In addition to the usual American/Chinese foods they also offer two pages of Thai Style Dishes.

It’s small and cozy inside. They offer booth seating and half booths.

We started out by sharing the potstickers. (they are chicken here)

They are actually quite good here. These are one of the only places that prepares them as they should with a crispy bottom. Most places in the area just fry them crispy all over.

Little Dumpling offers different spicy heat levels on the dishes. 1-10 and number 20. The server said that number 7 is too hot for her so I ordered number 5 and it was pretty hot. My husband ordered number 7 and it was even hotter.

I tried the spicy garlic chicken (it came with white rice).

It is a very generous serving. It also is packed with a good amount of vegetables (bell pepper, onions, carrots, celery, zucchini, baby corn, water chestnuts and bamboo shoots) and tender white meat chicken. The sauce does run sweet. If I was home I would add a little hoisin sauce to this and maybe a splash of sherry.

My husband tried the Kung Pao with beef.

This dish is also very generous in size. It comes with a nice amount of vegetables and peanuts. The sauce is unlike any I ever tried at any Chinese/American Restaurant. The sauce here is a spicy black bean sauce made with Szechwan Peppercorns.

******UPDATE****NOW CLOSED for business****Montana Meat Company – 24/7 Steakhouse/Diner/Bar – Some Gaming Las Vegas NV – Worth a Try

******UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS******* The Montana Meat Company is a reasonably price Steakhouse-Diner-Bar- & Some Gaming with two locations in Las Vegas Nevada. For food they offer breakfast, lunch specials, daily specials, a graveyard menu, a kids menu, 15 varieties of wings or tenders, some Mexican style food, sandwiches, salads, wraps, burgers, steaks, entrees, pasta and MORE!

Pictured below are some Monday-Friday Lunch Specials

Below were the Dinner Specials of the Evening

The Centennial (North/West Las Vegas) location has a separate bar and gaming area.

The Dining Area is kinda dark but light enough to read the menu and is filled with booths.

I tried the Macadamia Halibut Special with Jalapeño Creamed Corn and a Baked Potato.

The halibut here was cut so thin that I don’t recognize it as halibut……But it was prepared nicely and is mild and moist. The baked potato is really great with a crisp skin and a moist fluffy interior. It also came with soft whipped butter that was good. The Jalapeño Creamed Corn was not what I was expecting. I was expecting a velvety creamy corn side….but they give you corn kernels and pour cream over them….

My husband tried the Filet Medallions with Onion Rings and Macaroni and Cheese.

It’s not the most flavorful steak or mushroom sauce but the Medallions are tender and cooked medium-rare as requested. Onion rings are a little greasy but good. Macaroni and Cheese is better than from a lot of places and isn’t mushy here.

Just like the majority of places out there some things on the menu are better than other things.

Worth a try!

Nom Pang – Las Vegas NV – GREAT Cambodian Foods – Worth a Fork!

Nom Pang recently opened in the North-West Part of Las Vegas Nevada. This is a casual restaurant that offers Cambodian Dishes. Maybe you are not familiar with Cambodian Foods…No worries because if you eat sandwiches you will find something you like. This Cambodian cuisine is very similar to Vietnamese Cuisine. They offer their version of Banh Mi Baguette Sandwiches but here they are called Nom Pang. Also similar to Vietnamese dishes like rice plates, noodle salad bowls, curry and more is offered here. Soft beverages, smoothies, milk teas, slush drinks, iced coffee and boba is offered here.

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

Then you seat yourself.

The tables are topped with napkins, chopsticks, sriracha, and other hot condiments.

I tried a Spicy Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli Bowl (lettuce, cucumber, bean sprouts, cilantro, cabbage, pickled carrots, dressing, peanuts, crispy shallots)

It’s generous in size and the dark meat chicken is tender and delicious…….It’s actually more flavorful and more spicy than the Vietnamese Versions I’ve tried.

My husband said that the Pork Belly Nom Pang was so amazing he doesn’t know if he can order anything else here (possibly a rice flour baguette or it seemed like, mayo (left off at my husband’s request), cucumber, scallion, pickled carrot, daikon, cilantro, jalapeño, pork belly).

Can’t wait to try more!

PRINGLES – Everything Bagel VS Hot Honey

I found several interesting flavors of Pringles Potato Chips at my local Walmart Grocery so I decided to try the Everything Bagel and The Hot Honey Pringles Potato Chips. I was more excited about the everything bagel because that flavor I never saw in a potato chip before……..I give it a try.

I sniff it and it smells weird……..

It doesn’t taste anything like an everything bagel……..How on EARTH did anyone anywhere approve this flavor?………..it actually it taste sort of like margarine. ICK! Disappointed because I wanted this to taste like an everything bagel….Oh Well…..(no onion, no sesame, no garlic, no poppy seeds….just a very weird sort of margarine taste…….:(

I taste the Hot Honey.

It has a much better potato flavor than most Pringles Chips and also is spicy hot…(but not crazy hot) and has a natural sweetness that taste like honey. The Hot Honey Pringles are very good!

The Hot Honey Pringles is the Winner by a LONG Shot!

Da Braddah’s Grindz – Newly Opened – Las Vegas NV – Take Out Hawaiian Food

Da Braddah’s Grindz serves Hawaiian Food from a food truck and also has two locations in Las Vegas Nevada. The North/West Location newly opened in a Sinclair Gas Station. They offer Hawaiian Plate Lunches (enormous amounts of food with rice and macaroni salad served in styrofoam boxes), all day breakfast, burgers, and more. With only two tables inside to sit at so this is mainly a take out location.

You order and pay at the counter.

I tried the Korean Chicken Lunch Plate.

The steamed rice and macaroni salad is very good. The dark meat chicken is very tender and does have good flavors to it but something is wrong with the breading because it is wet and soggy.

My husband tried a two meat plate, (kalua pork & furikake chicken).

He said that the pulled pork, rice, and macaroni salad, was very good. Same problem with the chicken here. The chicken was tender and had good flavors to it but here the breading was wet and more like a paste texture.

Maybe the breading problem is an newly opening hiccup?

For now I’d avoid breaded foods here and the rest is worth a try.
