Similar to Kroger's Korean kalbi beef, Kroger's Thai coconut curry chicken came in a sealed bag with easy microwave instructions.

The chicken was like grilled chicken thigh meat, and it had a little bit of gristle. The curry was a thick sauce, and it tasted like a very sweet coconut curry. While I would have preferred the curry to be less sweet, I was happy that the sweetness didn't totally overwhelm the entire taste, so I was still able to enjoy the coconut curry taste with the chicken.

We decided to try some Korean Beef Kalbi (in addition to some Thai Coconut Curry Chicken) we saw at Kroger / Fry's that was on clearance. The beef came in a sealed bag, and it was pretty easy to cook following the microwave instructions.

The kalbi beef pieces were pretty good pieces of meat. The kalbi sauce was thick, and it had sort of the taste it's supposed to have, but it was too sweet. Unfortunately, it tasted more just like a regular American bbq sauce than a Korean one.

A Week With Mom

Category:
June 30, 2015 | Post a Comment
I visited my mom for a week. This is a summary of what I ate during the week (with pictures!)

Monday:

My mom made some Korean mandu / fried dumplings for brunch:

We had some ice cream from Graeter's (Mason, OH) as an afternoon snack.
My chosen flavor was chocolate:


My mom made some delicious chicken akni (Indian rice dish) for dinner:


Tuesday:

We ate at Soho Japanese Bistro for lunch. I had a bento box of chicken teriyaki and shrimp tempura:

My mom made some Korean kalbi with tofu and beansprouts for dinner. For some reason, my mom said she thought I liked kalbi that wasn't sweet, which isn't true; I like a very sweet kalbi. So, unfortunately, it just tasted salty:

I ate a Melona bar at home for dessert... and I ate at least one every day for the week:


Wednesday:

My mom made some yummy egg drop rice cake soup for lunch:

We had some octopus with dinner:


Thursday:

We went out to eat at Asiana Korean Restaurant (West Chester, OH) for lunch. Unfortunately, their kalbi was more salty than sweet, too :( :

For dinner, my mom brought home some chicken shawarmas from Chateau Beirut (West Chester, OH):


Friday:

My mom and I went out to eat at Dao Modern Asian Cuisine (Mason, OH). My main meal was an udon noodle soup:

I also made some red velvet cupcakes from Duncan Hines red velvet cake mix and with ChocoMaker marbled chocolate curls on top:


Monday:

My last full day with my mom made some kimchi and pork with leftovers she had, and she also brought home some chicken bulgogi from Asiana Korean Restaurant:


Tuesday:

I was sooo stuffed during the most of the week with my mom. Each time I got full, my mom would tell me I wasn't eating enough and that I should eat more... which resulted in lots of overeating. So, after a week with my mom, I was definitely ready to come back home. :)
