traveling for sure
I would travel the world. I probably would take a year off of my regular life and just go travel.
first stop?
First stop would be Switzerland and Italy. I didn't have time to visit them when I was in Europe last summer.
That's cool I
What would you do??
I'd go to New Zealand and then go island hopping
Queens town looks so beautiful
you've been?
That would be so fun to go island hopping No but I follow a girl on instagram and she's from New Zealand. She's a huge foodie.
ahhh gotcha. i've only been to ecuador and parts of europe
What's the food like in Ecuador?
Rice rice rice and more rice but they do a lot of really yummy soups
Hahaha I see. Do they make any salsas to try and add more flavors or it is more just like straight chicken and rice?
they wouldn't be classified as salsas really (like mexican salsas) but they pour the juice from cooking the chicken onto the rice they'll eat that with beans or a fried egg
Oh I see. Where did you stay? I think there's a city called Quito there? I really don't know too much about it lol
Yeah I served in Quito And cities further south and west the country is super tiny in comparison to other countries in south america
Way cool!! When did you get back from your mission?
February 2017
Nice! I got back in Jan 2016. Served in Texas Spanish speaking. So I had lots of Mexican dishes and ridiculously spicy salsas haha
That's awesome. What was your favorite dish? Because I know that the mexican we eat here is not true mexican haha
Haha so true...it's way different. I love Sopes, flautas, and my favorite thing is called a baleada. It's actually a Honduran dish. It's basicallu this giant flour tortilla Filled with smeared black beans, chorizo, egg, avocado, and you pour crema on it
that sounds bomb
It's seriously amazing. I haven't found a place here that sells them
have you tried making it?
I like how Provo has a ton of ethnic food spots. Like there's a couple places on center street- an El Salvador restaurant and I think Peruvian I tried to make it once but totally botched the tortillas
have you tried the papusas at the restaurant el mexsal on 300N i believe?
Yes they are so great!! Love them
best thing ever. my husband and i try not to go too often but they're just so good
Do you put the cabbage stuff on top of them? I made my husband go try them with me last year. He loved them
I totally put the cabbage and the red sauce on haha my husband and i held hands for the first time in one of the booths at el mexsal
Haha that's an awesome story! I love to put those toppings on too! Sooo good! Do you have any favorite restaurants or places to eat in Provo or even in Utah county area?
Have you ever been to ASA Ramen on state st?
Oh my gosh it's so prime. I love the Tonkastsu ramen and the chashu buns
i get the same kind! it's the best Do you like the egg?
Do you and your husband like sushi? I do, they probably soak it in the broth for so long haha
I love the egg! I always wondered how they did it. Yeah! we go to itto sushi by the mall cause they always have a good groupon :)
Haha I was just going to recommend going to itto sushi if you guys did!
hahahaha
We just discovered it on Friday and loved it
we love their rolls. it's so good. there's one roll that we get every time.
What's it called??
just remembered. it's called scallop dream it is sooo good. I can't remember exactly what's in it but the flavors are spot on
Ooo we will have to try that one. We got one called the Dracula and they served it in a coffin!!! It was so cool. When we opened it a bunch of fog cane billowing out of it
that's so cool!
We also tried one called the firebird and it was dang good
that sounds good. we'll try that one next time do you have any other restaurant recommendations?
If you guys like fish there is this place called Slapfish. It's up by the outlet malls in Lehi. It's super tasty and modern
my husband LOVES fish. that sounds fun
We also love Blaze
isn't that the pizza place?
Yeah you build your own pizza
i've always wanted to try that
It's fast and super good. They cook it in a fire brick oven
