For my main I had the spicy tuna bap.

It’s made of , chopped tuna, tasty sesame rice, seaweed salad, beni shoga (pickled ginger), crisp cucumber, a creamy pepper sauce. You are suppose to mix it all together. The flavors are all delicious together.

Superfrico Restaurant – Cosmopolitan Las Vegas NV – Just Weird

Superfrico calls themselves an Italian American psychedelic restaurant and bar that is located in the Cosmopolitan hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. I’ve read very good reviews for the food and that it is almost like a show with dinner………So I thought why not?

We entered.

entrance

It’s a little dark inside. It is moderately loud with a disk jockey playing records. Some colorful lights are all over. There is a person walking around with a full length penguin mask……….slightly weird.

We ordered the hamachi crudo to start with….

The first piece of fish that I tasted I had to spit out because it had a strong fish taste that it shouldn’t have. This got sent back.

We got a Sicilian salad instead.

Sicilian Salad

This salad was light and fresh tasting. It contained fennel, onion, citrus, candied pine nuts, olive gremolata, and fennel vinaigrette.

During dinner we see a few characters waltz threw the restaurant.

My main was the eggplant parmesan rollatini.

Eggplant parmesan rollatini

It’s very small…..but it’s almost very good! I three thin small rolled eggplant slices stuffed with a fresh good quality ricotta cheese that is on top of acidic tomato sauce and topped with parmesan, parmesan fricos, and crisp basil.

We also shared a side order of mushrooms.

Side of roasted mushrooms

The mushrooms sounded interesting because they were made with sherry vinegar, shoyu, cured and smoked yolks. These were pretty good with a nice rich flavors.

My husband had the beef cheek rigatoni.

beef cheek rigatoni

It was slightly disappointing because the pasta was over cooked. Beef cheeks usually have a great tenderness to them and an extra good beef flavor but the beef here could pass (taste wise) like pot roast. Also the mushrooms weren’t nearly as flavorful as from the side order of roasted mushrooms.

Superfrico they say that they are an American Italian Psychedelic Restaurant…..

I thought it just was WEIRD.

My Trip to Mian Sichuan Noodle of Las Vegas NV

Mian Sichuan Noodle is a small casual restaurant that specializes in serving Sichuan Noodles. They are located in the Las Vegas China Town in a two story strip mall next to the China Town Plaza.

This isn’t a fancy place.

The tables are set up with placemats that give you instructions on how to eat the food.

They start you off with sweetened mung bean water called soup that you drink after eating mouth numbing spicy food to cool you down.

We started out by sharing the Spicy Radish ($1.99) and a small bowl of complimentary sweet, sour slightly spicy cabbage was served almost instantly.

The radish is crunchy, interesting and also spicy. I’ve never tasted anything like this before. They transformed a radish into something completely different. It got me really excited to try Szechuan Cold Noodles!

My Szechuan Cold Noodles Arrives ($7.99).

I mix it up like I’m suppose to do. The noodles are silky, sturdy, smooth and long with nice chewy texture. The noodles are cooked to perfection. This dish too is not flavored like anything I ever had before. It has a slight sourness to it, some other flavors with slight amount sweetness. It is strange and unusual to me…….It’s not very spicy…..it’s actually almost not spicy….Maybe more like the cabbage. I am slightly disappointed because I was expecting fiery mouth numbing food.

My husband got Za Jiang with Peas (basically Pork Spicy Noodle $9.99).

This is a more detailed plate. I’m a little jealous and his plate is at least twice as spicy as mine. Although this plate is twice as spicy as mine it’s really only as spicy as the radishes. Spicy but not real spicy….like not even close to a jalapeño ……less than sweet/hot cherry peppers. (My husband asked for as spicy as you make)

Maybe the waiter thought he heard us say mild instead of spicy?

I haven’t found a website for Mian Sichuan Noodle but they are on Facebook.

That was my trip to Mian Sichuan Noodle in Las Vegas NV
