Ten Ten Pie

What a great addition to Portland! Ten Ten Pie is a great little neighborhood bakery, restaurant, and market specializing in Asian inspired foods.
On this my first visit I picked up some amazing treats to put together for a weekday brunch with my sweetie.
Starting with the savory I picked up the Chinese sausage croissant, a Nikuman steamed bun with pork and Kimchee and a savory pastry filled with kale and goat cheese. For the sweet I bought the chocolate pudding with miso caramel cream, double chocolate sake cake, and a yummy pop tart like creation topped with almonds and honey.
Everything was really,really good. The chocolate sake cake was amazing! I will definitely be back again.

Pool St Market

If the holiday season has you craving lobster, but you don’t like the hassle. Then the Pool Street Market in Biddeford is for you. They not only make an unbelievable lobster roll (get it Winn size), but they also do wonderful platters of lobster rolls that will make any holiday party a hit.

Palace Diner Rules!

Continuing to indulge my winter cravings for the ultimate burger, I recently stopped in to the Palace Diner. This small 15 seat diner is already home to my favorite corned beef hash, so I went in with high hopes. Not only was I not disappointed, I was blown away by their double cheeseburger the Palace Royale! So simple, yet so delicious! Picture two patties coated with melted cheese, stacked a mile high on a sesame seed bun. Then topped with crisp shredded lettuce and pickles. Sounds like many other burgers you may have had, but it really stands alone as an expression of burger greatness. It just all comes together in a perfect way of slightly salty, amazingly beefy,crusty,cheesy perfection. If you love a good burger you owe it to yourself to try it this burger. As a side note, for those less gluttonous the burger is available as a single too. It’s no wonder Bon Appetit included this diner’s tuna melt as the best they ever had.
