Situated right in the heart of Ocean City’s downtown shopping district is Fusion Plate Asian Cuisine. They offer a really nice varied menu at decent prices. I enjoyed their pork fried rice, chicken with broccoli, shrimp beef chow fun, and shaking beef. Everything I had was delicious and one of better Asian cuisine meals in the shore area. I look forward to trying more things next time.

With a complete makeover of what used to be a Five Guys location is Pho Asia. They really renovated it nicely and you would never know what was there previously. The service was friendly and quick. Pictured is a strawberry smoothie and Hu tie u bo Kho a rice noodle beef stew soup. I would go back to try a few other things on their menu.

Really enjoyed a lunch special at Rangoon. I had the Lemongrass Beef Curry which is marinated beef chunks, lemongrass and potatoes cooked in curry sauce with vegetable fried rice. The service was extremely friendly and personable for take-out and prices very reasonable. There are many other items on the menu I would like to try so I will certainly be back for more.

Topgolf – Mount Laurel, NJ

Topgolf – Mount Laurel, NJ

This place is high tech golfing excitement in a fun and luxurious setting with food. Golf of course is the main attraction and the best part of Topgolf. What about the food? Is it a hole in one? It was decent and respectable for an entertainment destination. I had the Grilled Backyard Wings and Brisket Grilled Cheese. Bring some friends and have a good time here.

Kensington Quarters – Philadelphia, PA

Kensington Quarters – Philadelphia, PA

The Fishtown area is one of the hippest in Philly and for good reason. Kensington Quarters is one of the places that has seen the growth of the area. They are a hip destination with cool décor and vibe. The service was top notch and meal was pretty good also. I had the KQ burger on a brioche bun that has cheddar, garlic aioli, jus, and caramelized onions with a fried potato.

Perla – Philadelphia, PA

Perla – Philadelphia, PA

How do you celebrate a wedding anniversary properly? Well nothing says romance more than going to a restaurant where there are no plates, food is placed on banana leaves, and you eat with your hands of course. This is the exact scenario of how I was pampered on our special day and that is one of the many reasons why I love my wife and I couldn’t have been happier having a special meal prepared and served this way.

So now that you know where to go for your next anniversary meal, you are asking yourself how Perla was. Perla which is a modern Filipino restaurant by Lou Boquila only does this special setting and Kamayan meal type on Wednesdays and Sundays to give patrons an authentic sort of Filipino meal to try. We were told that the other days of the week it is more of a formal setting and regular restaurant even with wine glasses present. That sounds nice and all for normal folk, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and saw how foreign it seemed and out of practice I was to eat an entire meal with my hands even though it should feel and be a nature reflex. To top it all off, the food was delicious, service was personable, extremely efficient, and reasonably priced. You know a restaurant is comfortable and confident and that they are serving a quality product when the executive chef chats with you about some other restaurants you should try in the area if you are a true foodie. That openness of food love shows that they recognize good food and how a meal can bond strangers together wanting to share and talk about their experience with others and truly want them to try it for themselves. Not only will I try their recommendations, but I will be sure to return to Perla and I recommend you to try Perla as well.

The meal was Filipino biscuit (not pictured), SINANGAG jasmine rice, garlic, CHICKEN INASAL meyer lemon and soy marinade, FISH fried whole, LECHON KAWALI berkshire pork belly, LUMPIA ground pork, carrots, onions, ginger, PINAKBET eggplant, long beans, bokchoy, and a chocolate dessert that was DIVINE (not pictured).

New on the scene in Chinatown Philly is Lau Kee. It’s a tiny place with a large menu. I had their half of Hong Kong style Peking Duck and an order of flounder filets in black bean sauce. Both were delicious and a welcome addition to the wonderful selection of culinary wonders around this part of Philadelphia. Will be back for sure to try more of things on the menu.
