7 Mile House

I noticed there was a special for the oysters which interested me, but when the waitress was taking orders, I had forgotten about them. Luckily, Steph had decided to order one and before the waitress walked away, I asked for one too! However, the waitress soon came back and said they might only have one left. Oh no! Fortunately, she came back moments later to inform us that they still had enough (three if I recall). The oyster was delicious.

Oyster

The pork adobo was great. The meat was soft and I liked the texture.

Online Menu Description:
Famous Pork Adobo with Rice One of our best sellers! Our adobo is thrice- prepared 7 Mile house style. This classic Filipino dish is made with tender pork marinated in soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, herbs & spices topped with sautéed garlic and served with steamed Jasmine rice $11.00

Pork Adobo

Steph ordered the sisig and I brought up how I had gone to the Philippines and the sisig was so fatty that I had begun to avoid the dish after coming back to the States. Then, through conversation, it became clear that the reason I found the dish so fatty was because I was eating it without rice (because I was on keto at the time). Long story short, I tried some sisig today with rice and it was delicious.

Online Menu Description:
Sizzling Sisig Are you adventurous enough? Grilled diced meat (made with pork cheeks, meat, and a small amount of liver to taste) with onions, jalapeños, herbs and spices served on a sizzling plate topped with raw egg*, chopped onions & chili flakes. Mix the egg into the dish while the plate is hot. We highly recommend adding rice to make a flavorful meal! $10.50

Sweet Potato Fries with Spicy Mayo Sauce

The fries were average.

Overall, as expected, the food was good; although this is the first time I ate at the restaurant, Ada and I have ordered food from here on multiple occasions. 4:39 PM PT

I liked my pizza. I ate about half. The cheese layer was the key.

gluten-free Pesto Chicken with vegan cheese

I had a slice of Ada's choice of pizza and it wasn't as flavorful as my choice. I didn't pick up on the vegan cheese. 6:28 PM PT

Ada got the Sunde Chicken Curry and it was delicious. She thought it was salty, but I disagreed.

Menu Description:
#11 Sunde - Sunde Chicken Curry *Tekanpur Specialty* Bone-in, clay oven flame-roasted half chicken in our hometown curry. A La Carte $18.99; Combo $20.99

Sunde Chicken Curry

My lamb kebab served on a sizzling platter was spicy. I liked the seasoning. The grilled onions were tasty, but afterwards I got an upset stomach: I've been known to get an upset stomach from consuming excessive amounts of flavorful ingredients such as onions, garlic, and lemongrass.

Menu Description:
#31 Bheda Ko Sekuwa - Lamb Kebab Boneless Lamb marinated in olive oil, garlic, ginger and spices A La Carte $16.99; Combo $18.99

Lamb Kebab served on a Sizzling Platter

Remark: The reason I got the lamb kebab (#31) on a sizzling platter instead of the sizzling lamb platter (#34) was because the lamb in the sizzling lamb platter is also marinated in yogurt. While I asked if #34 can be made without the yogurt, the waiter said it couldn't and instead offered to serve the lamb kebab (#31) on a sizzling platter.

Champa Garden

2018:
Ada and I came to Champa Garden for the first time today and we ordered fried spring rolls, pad thai with chicken (for Ada), and pad se-ew with duck (for me).

Pad Thai with Duck (and PEANUTS!)

Despite our request for no peanuts, the pad thai came out with peanuts; it should also be noted that their menu does not specify peanuts in the dish.

Furthermore, and though it took a while for us to realize, the chicken and duck were switched: pad thai with duck and pad se-ew with chicken. This was upsetting because I could only eat so much of the pad thai with duck before I was afraid of contamination by the peanuts, I liked the pad se-ew ("okay") more than the pad thai ("good"), and the chicken was dry.

Menu Description:
Pan Fried Noodles > Pad Thai Rice noodles, tamarind, eggs, beansprouts & choice of meat 9.5

Pad Se-ew with Chicken

The only upside was that when we concluded the chicken and duck had been switched, we brought it up with the server and he deducted the price of the dish. An alternative option was to have them remake the pad se-ew with duck, but I was nearly full and didn't want to wait for a new dish to arrive.

Menu Description:
Pan Fried Noodles > Pad Se-ew Thick rice noodles, soy sauce, eggs, broccoli & choice of meat 9.5

Ada thought the fried spring rolls were okay. I liked the fish sauce. 8:23 PM PT

Here's the Chicken!

Menu Description:
Starters > Fried Wrapped Spring Rolls Rice Spring rolls, noodles & green leaf Chicken or tofu 9

Menu Description:
PAN FRIED NOODLES Choices of meat are chicken, beef, prok, tofu, shrimp (+1.5), duck (+3), fish (+3), and seafood (+3)

The quality of tuna in the fatty tuna roll was good. It was delicious.

Fatty Tuna Roll

Menu Description:
Special Rolls > Fatty Tuna Roll Tuna, green onion, cucumber topped with fatty tuna and sesame 18

Menu Description:
Special Rolls > Crunchy Spicy Roll Spicy tuna, Tempura shrimp, avocado & tempura flakes 12.95

Crunchy Spicy Roll

I thought the tempura was good as well. With that being said, I'm not big on tempura. Ada, who almost always orders tempura, really liked it - with the exception of the eggplant tempura. It was her first time encountering it. She didn't eat her second piece of it.

Tempura - Mori

Menu Description:
Tempura > Mori shrimp and assorted vegetable 9

Otokos Special Roll

The Otoko Special Roll was delicious. I ate all my pieces without soy sauce, because the oyster sauce and orange was already flavorful. 7:30 PM PT

Menu Description:
Special Rolls > Otokos Special Roll Crab meat, Avocado, topped with Seared Walu & jalapeno 13.95
