Short Rib/Brisket Sandwich @ Mayhem & Stout @ Mad Sq. Mark’tThis is quite a delicious sandwich. The meat is tender and moist and the Dragon-Asian BBQ and Spicy Slaw pair really nicely, but I was a little surprised and disappointed with the size and amount of meat compared to the sandwich I ate last year for the price.Via Foodspotting

Spinach & Artichoke Pizza @ Sotto 13Really excellent. The flavor profile is very similar to the slice at Artichoke without being so extremely rich and overwhelming.Via Foodspotting

Butternut Squash Cannelloni @ Sotto 13This is still my favorite thing at the restaurant. The texture of the creamy butternut squash inside the tender noodles with melty cheese come together wonderfully.Via Foodspotting

Fried Pearl Noodles @ NyonyaA truly outstanding dish that is going to become a new regular for me. These noodles are so bizarre and interesting. Those strange things that look like worms are the noodles! They have light texture with a nice pan-sear on one side. It’s a fairly mild dish, so a little bit of chili sauce definitely helps open it up. The dish includes shrimp, squid, chicken, pork, egg, scallions, onions, and bean sprouts.Via Foodspotting

Roti Prata @ NyonyaDecided to try out the third roti & curry appetizer offered and found something really great. It’s thick, crispy, and flaky yet doughy and pliable. It tastes incredible when dunked in the rich, chunky curry.Via Foodspotting

Fried Pork Chunks @ TauroFreshly deep-fried pork chunks with rice and beans. The pork is delicious, but they get demerits for not having black beans.Via Foodspotting

catfish sandwich @ BirdbathQuite a nice, light sandwich. The catfish is thick and flaky with a lightly crispy baked cornmeal crust. It’s served on sliced sourdough bread with paprika, mayo, and lettuce.Via Foodspotting
