Some new dishes and places have been found, and some I actually forgot to include.
The roasted potatoes from Pita Thyme in North Andover. I simply forgot to include them in my I love my Potatoes post. I always get a double order since they are just phenomenal. The rest of the food is also good.
Another addition to I love my Potatoes post. Trackside in Peabody. Carne Alentejana (Marinated Pork & Little Necks) was $15.95, now $22.95. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and just lightly fried. I really don't mind the skins here since the potatoes have been crisped up really nicely. The pork is tender, and it has plenty of sauce.
Update to my Indian Restaurants. Zaika in Woburn is now serving a buffet Sat-Sun. Holi in Bedford is serving a buffet Fri-Sun. Fridays have a lower-priced version.
Here's another addition to my I love my Potatoes post. This time it's the Irish Nachos ($16.95) from Horseshoe Grille in North Reading. "A skillet of sidewinder fried potatoes topped with shredded corned beef, melted cheddar, Dublin sauce, sour cream and scallions". Hold the sour cream, ick! This was excellent, especially with extra Dublin sauce. The sliced, not shredded, corned beef was tasty, and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. Sadly to say, they are not on the menu anymore.
Another additional lunch dish at Taipei Gourmet (New Ownership). Chicken w pickled greens ($10.95). This was an excellent dish with dark chicken and very tasty pickled greens. I did ask for chili oil on the side. It was kind of mild, but the dish was fine on its own. A generous serving. The lunch dishes have now gone up to $12.95/$13.95.
This is another addition to my General Gau's writeup from China Sky in Winchester. This is how a General Gau's chicken should look. All dark meat and no batter inside and crispy on the outside. And hold the broccoli.
The pork belly noodle soup and the pork ribs with potatoes are gone from the menu at Sichuan Palace in Billerica.
I have to withdraw my recommendation for the Buffalo Mac & Cheese from My Diner in Melrose. The pasta is overcooked, and the crispy part of the crispy chicken fell off the chicken. The owner had no idea that the pasta was reheated and not cooked to order.
