📍 Philadelphia's A.kitchen | Another Day, Another Appetizer Win

In Philadelphia, appetizers really do outshine the main courses at most restaurants! Maybe I should just stick to ordering appetizers from now on. Haha! 🍽️ 🥇 Chicken Liver Toast: This is seriously the best chicken liver toast I've ever had! The liver pâté is smooth and rich, paired with sweet jam and crunchy nuts. It's a perfect blend of salty, sweet, and tangy that makes you close your eyes in bliss. I can't recommend it enough! 🍞 🍄 Fried Mushrooms: These had that "fancy night market fried snack" vibe. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the dipping sauce was so flavorful. I couldn't stop eating them! 🍄 🦆 Duck Leg / Duck Breast: I tried both the duck leg and duck breast. The leg was way too salty, probably over-marinated, but they were kind enough to replace it when I mentioned it. My friend loved the breast, but I found it a bit too "ducky" for my taste. Haha. But I get why it's a popular choice—maybe it varies day-to-day. 🦆 🦪 Scallops: This was the standout among the main courses. The scallops were tender, and the side dishes were great, but they still couldn't quite match the brilliance of the appetizers. Haha! 🦪 🍰 Dessert (Paris-Brest): Crispy and fragrant, with a candle on top for that extra touch of ceremony. They added a candle when I mentioned it was my friend's birthday. 🎂 📌 Address: 135 S 18th St, Philadelphia 💰 Average Cost: Around $80+ 💡 I kind of regretted not coming during Restaurant Week. 😞 #PhillyEats #PhillyDining #PhillyLife #PhillyDateSpots #Philly
