Recently in My Face: Momo Family Tibetan Food Truck

One of the advantages of working downtown is the availability of a variety of food trucks.  Well, at least that’s the theory.  Since working downtown, I’ve only encounter the same food trucks you see at Klyde Warren Park or every other beer festival.

Until today.

I was delighted to look down from my window in Thanksgiving Tower and see a food truck and an ethnic food I’ve never ever encountered:  Momo Family Tibetan Food Truck.  That’s right, for the first time in my life, I ate Tibetan food.  Who knew that was even a thing??

Seriously, check this out if you see this truck.  It’s a dude and his Tibetan mom making delicious dumplings.  I had a combo of beef and chicken curry.  And be sure to double down on momma’s hot sauce.

Be sure to follow them @momotruck.

Recently in My Face: Chino Chinatown

JT was in town and he dragged me not once but twice to his friend Uno’s restaurant, Chino Chinatown.  It’s a good thing it’s one of the best restaurants in Dallas or I’d be pissed.

Elotes.  The most delicious corn in the world.

Drunken Noodles.  I could eat this three times a day every day forever.

Regrettably not pictured, the duck fried rice with duck breast and a duck egg.  It’s a chock full of duck.

And while I a had my camera over there, I took another nice picture of the bridge.

Continental Pedestrian Walkway

It seemed a waste of a beautiful 78°F July 31 evening in Dallas (the likes of which no one alive has ever seen) to Uber from work to meet up with friends at Chino Chinatown.  Instead, I walked the entire 1.7 miles.  So suck on that Dallas.  While crossing the pedestrian bridge to Trinity Groves, I took a few ‘grams.

Recently in My Face: The Whole Fried Branzino at Mot Hai Ba

Like any food nerd I take pictures of stunning dishes whenever I can.  But sometimes I forget to post them.  This was eaten about a month ago.  Mot Hai Ba is quickly shooting up to near the top of my favorite Dallas restaurants.

White Rock

BlogGallery

What better way to spend the greatest Saturday in July than biking around Dallas’ crown jewel, White Rock Lake and it’s cousin the White Rock Creek Trail.

I normally don’t like lugging my camera around while biking, especially during the hot hot heat of July.  But it was just too nice a day.  Well, except for the two flat tires.

It normally takes about two hours to make this trip.  But with all the stoppings and picture takings, it took three.  And I can say with temperatures barely reaching 80, it was the chilliest July ride in my 10 years of White Rock bike riding.
