M.I.A.M.I. South Beach Cuisine Reviews

Shrimp in Pickled Oil - Han Dynasty in Ol City
4/5 Crescents.  Very spicy, but the Fish version is actually better.

Cosi's - Shrimp and Avocado Sandwich
3/5 Cs.  Different, and a nice cold sandwich.  The bread is good but you gotta chew a lot.

Steak with Broccoli and Garlic Sauce (Homemade)

Same dish as above but in pot.  Getting my hands dirty again.

Shrimp Fajitas at Sea Cafe on Ocean's Drive.
2/5 Cs.  Looks better than it tastes and lousy service.   I don't recommend this place.

Same place.  Fried Calamari.  It as fine.  2.5 Cs as well.

Birthday Dessert at Sagafredos in downtown Miami.  This place was really nice and the service was A-mazing!  It's definitely an old crowd after hours but i wasn't complaining!  5/5 Cs overall.  We hung out here for 7 hours and never got kicked out.  It's an outside lounge and eatery.

Seafood spaghetti:  Claims, oyesters, calamari, shrimps and God knows what else.  4/5 Cs.  Loved it.  The waitress was 5/5 Cs!

Same spot.  Calamari and Bruchetta.  5/5 Cs.

Shrimp and Lobster Raviolli on Ocean Drive @ Southbeach at Cafe Milano.  2.5/5 Cs.  Wasn't impressed.

Milo on South Beach was awesome.  The service was also great.  5/5 for the Ice Cream w/ Nilla Flavor

Lobster Spaghetti at Milo on S. Beach.  Awesome.  5/5 Cs. and I would go back.  I highly recommend this place and dish.

Same place.  Coke with Grenadine.  My drink of choice.

4/5 Cs.  Lobster Tail with a side of angel hair on South Beach at The Cafe.  Be weary of intoxicated broads who try to pick you up while your eating.  Focus on your meal or end up like that dude in Hostel if you slip up.  Yall know what I'm talkin about.

Buffalo Wings!  4/5 Cs.  Love these sloppy things.  Broad Street Steaks aka Murda Burga on Broad and Selzer in North Philly.  Watch your back when your hear.  Multiple murders on this block.

I got Valle parking on the side walk in the hood.  You know how Boss Cha-cha do.

Past Two Weeks in Consumption

Han Dynasty:  Fish in Hot Sauce and Fish w/ Pickled Chilly

3.5 Crescents:  Fish Pickled Chilly

This dish is still a very different, very spicy fish dish at Han's.  It's like Fish in Achar (desi's know what i'm talking about - if you don't know ask an Indo-Pak what Achar is).  Although its really good, it not as good as the Fish in Hot Sauce, although it maybe a little spicier if that is even possible!

New Spot on 16th and South Street in Philly, a very cleaver name.  It's called, ready for this?  Indian Restaurant.  No "The" because that is implied apparently.

 5/5 Crescents for this aloo samosa.  I was really impressed with it.  I like beef filling better - but it was really good.

3/5 Crescents:  Achari Chicken with Rice.  The food here was actually pretty good and it was all halal.

Gotta love the poppers with Chutney for appetizers!

19th and Market.  Ali's lunch truck.  BLT (beef bacon lettuce and tomatoes!  2.5/5 Crescents.  It was tasty, but it was falling apart.

Love this hot dogs for Ali's cart!  4/5 Crescents.  They had a little kick to them.

 POD for Friday Night Dinner

 Sushi Rolls - Salmon and Spicy Tuna & Dragon Roll:

3/5 Crescents.  POD looks like something like the bar from Star Wars IV:  A New Hope

Lobster Sushi Roll = Fail.  2/5 Cs.  It looks cool, but tastes funny.

 

Max Brenner

Earl Grey Tea.  Cool presentation, but my mouth was dry after drinking this 2.5/5 Cs.  

Some dessert that I didn't eat so I won't rate it.  They said it was average.

Lil Italian Cafe in VA

 Pastrami Sub with Chicken Wings.  3.5 Cs.

Charcoal Grill.  Afghani spot in VA - Herndon I think.  

Chicken Kabab, Keema Roll, and Keema Samosa. 

3/5 Cs

Peking Garden Take Out in Norf Philly.  My fav corner store chinese joint hands down.  Broad and Susquehanna.

Shrimp w/Broccolli and Garlic Sauce

5/5 Crescents.  Look how plump those shrimps are.  The garlic sauce is sweet and gooey.  I lived off of this dish.  Not all chinese spots can do this dish right, not even Han's.

Gotta love Crown Fried Chicken (used to be Lincoln Fried).  There fried chicken is 5/5 fo sho.

Mubeen Hussain's homemade Keema and Popper.  Very nice combination.  5/5 Cs.
