Food Adventures in Chicago Lately

First time posting, forgot a lot of the dish names 🤯 — will try to remember next time! 😬 🍽️ Ema (Mediterranean) Second visit, tried some staff recommendations: ✨ Dates with honey, pomegranate seeds, and pita Dates + yogurt, sweet and tangy with pomegranate seeds — unique and delicious wrapped in warm pita! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🐑 Lamb dish – Decent, not mind-blowing but tasty. Normal performance. 🧀 Cheese + honey baked with chili flakes – Fragrant, crispy on the edges, really nice! 🦆 Sun Wah BBQ Peking duck skin was crispy and juicy! But — served with bao buns instead of steamed wrappers 😔 (not traditional, a bit disappointing). Duck bone soup – big NO 👎, bland even with bean sprouts and pickles. Duck over rice – also no 👎, rice was mushy, no wok aroma. However — took leftovers home and made duck noodles 🍜 — turned out great! Maybe try making Thai duck curry with Trader Joe’s yellow curry paste — that’s delicious! 🍝 Nora Oxtail pasta – tasty but oxtail portions were tiny! 🌿 3 Arts Club Cafe Beautiful setting, had brunch with my girl 👭. Lobster roll was okay, but my friend’s beef sandwich 🥪 was really good — recommend trying that! 🍗 Palilgu (New Korean spot in Wicker Park) Fried chicken 🍗 – super crispy and juicy inside! So good. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Also had pork tofu stew (forgot to snap a pic) — tasty too! #ChicagoEats #ChicagoFood #FoodReview #MediterraneanFood #PekingDuck #KoreanFood
