๐ Gained 2 Pounds in Washington DC โ A Foodieโs Review!
Hereโs my not-so-complete but totally delicious DC food guide: Baan Siam ๐๐๐๐๐ Highly recommended as the top Thai spot in DC on ๐ด Beef Curry / Shrimp Stir-Fry โ Both mains come with rice. Authentic and flavorful Thai taste. Too bad they didnโt have Khao Soi that day! ๐ฐ Mango Sticky Rice / Coconut Milk Snack โ Iโm obsessed with mango sticky rice โ itโs literally the reason I crave Thai food! ๐ฅญ๐ WASAI & Gong Cha ๐๐๐ A Chinatown American-Chinese noodle spot. The fact that I didnโt even take photos says it all ๐ฌ ๐ด Chicken Chow Mein / Beef Brisket Noodle โ Just okay, but the $13.50 price was decent. Tatte ๐๐๐๐ A popular US brunch chain with a cozy vibe. ๐ด French Toast with Goat Cheese & Strawberry Jam โ Skip if you donโt like gaminess. I enjoyed the combo though! ๐๐ง ๐ด Traditional Shakshuka โ Eggs in tomato sauce with toast. My friend preferred the creamier version. Olio e Piรน ๐๐๐๐ Italian restaurant near the White House. ๐ด Spaghetti alla Carbonara โ Topped with egg yolk, rich and tasty but a bit salty toward the end. Perfect portion. ๐ ๐ฐ Tiramisu โ No words needed โ itโs a classic! โ๏ธโจ Hunan Dynasty ๐๐๐๐๐ Chinese restaurant near Capitol Hill โ walls covered with photos of politicians. ๐ด Chongqing Spicy Intestine Pot / Boiled Beef โ Authentic Sichuan flavors! Great portion for the price. My friend said it was the best Chinese meal sheโs had in the US! ๐ถ๏ธ๐ฅ Founding Farmers DC ๐๐๐๐ Very popular American comfort food spot โ reserve ahead on weekends! ๐ด Fried Chicken & Waffle โ Served with creamy pasta and green beans. The chicken was large but breast-heavy. Waffle was uniquely crispy! ๐๐ง ๐ด Chicken Pot Pie โ Creamy salmon soup with bread โ incredibly tasty! Top 5 American dishes Iโve ever tried. The broth was rich but not overly salty, and the bread was perfectly crispy. ๐ฅฃ๐ #100RestaurantsChallenge #FoodieAbroad #DCFoodGuide #WashingtonDC #DCEats #TravelAndEat #BestOfDC
