Dos Coyotes' Salad

During my office lunch hour, I occasionally dine out at the Dos Coyotes.     I love their Adobe Cob Salad.    There are plenty of fresh greens, corn, cherry tomatoes, black beans, jacama strips, etc.   And I love their salsa station where you can enjoy varieties of salsa sauces. 
Here are two of the salads we enjoyed.     I love the friendly and cheerful servers.    





India Oven Buffet - Taste of India

I have been to a couple of India's buffet in the Bay area before.   Each time, the most exciting food that I always hope for is the flatbread - Naan or chapati or whatever breads.     Here in my neighborhood, a couple of Indian restaurants have been opened a few years ago.      I finally took courage to visit "India Oven".    As my friends have pointed out, it serves buffet.   And yes!, there it is, the flatbread in the buffet line, and the waiter brought a basketful of piping hot bread to the table.  Great!   Wow!   it tastes so good - we had two basketful.      I wish I know all the names of the dishes I ate, but they all tasted so wonderfully good that I was too busy eating than remembering them - practically, I ate names of the food and hidden them.     I have gone back to the place since my first visit, and I am sure I will go back to dine, again.



Texas Road House - Fairfield. Y'all stop by there, now

I drove pass Texas Road House in Fairfield for many years, and each time I pass it, I was hoping to give myself the biggest excuse to dine there.     It finally happened one afternoon after a physical exam with fasting a night before.    I eagerly ordered side dishes of cup of chili, steak and baked potato.    Before it arrived, I had a bucketful of peanuts to munch on and some  baked hot soft buns, mug of cold beer as a starter.    The steak was so big and thick, I was worried that it maybe under cooked, but I was so surprised, it was grilled perfectly.   On top of it, it was 'tender'.      It tasted quite good.    The rib was not one of those that's been "waiting" and "waiting" dried barks, but nice, juicy, finger lickin' good.   The attending crews even line danced to the music and made my long waited expectation a great relief and say, "I am coming back, again."   And I sure did with my family.     Y'all stop by there, now.
