Burger King Burger and Chicken Strips
Burger King Mocha Frappe and Tropical Mango Smoothie

The Tropical Mango Smoothie at Burger King was delicious. It had a nice mango taste and was refreshing. I really liked the texture of the ice in the smoothie.

The Mocha Frappe at Burger King was also delicious, and I don't really like coffee. It was very chocolatey - kind of like a chocolate milkshake with a little bit of a coffee taste. My boyfriend was hoping that there would be more of the coffee and was a little disappointed (which is probably why I liked it), but he still thought it tasted pretty good.

The new chicken strips at Burger King were very good. I thought they weren't as dry as McDonald's chicken strips and weren't overly salty. They kind of tasted like the popcorn chicken at Sonic but in chicken strips form.

I had never had a hamburger from Burger King before and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a hamburger (not a whopper) with just pickles, and it tasted good. I liked that it was more dry and didn't feel super greasy like the burgers at McDonald's. I also liked the bread; it wasn't mushy like many other burgers I have had.

REVIEW – Panda Express: Shanghai Angus Steak

Shanghai Angus Steak from Panda Express

I tried the Shanghai Angus Steak from Panda Express and didn't really like it. It had nice, large pieces of beef that were fairly tender, but it tasted like a slightly tangy beef stew and some of the pieces were a little too chewy. You had to pay an extra dollar since the Shanghai Angus steak is considered a "premium item", and it wasn't really worth it. For an extra dollar, I'd much rather get their Honey Walnut Shrimp.

REVIEW – Pizza Hut: Sausage Italiano Pasta

Pizza Hut Sausage Italiano Pasta

We ordered some Sausage Italiano Pasta as carryout from Pizza Hut.

The pasta was not very sweet, which is what I really liked about it. I don't like sweet pastas, and I have a hard time finding pasta sauces that aren't sweet. I've tried the 'meaty marinara' pasta from Pizza Hut before, and that was disgustingly sweet, so I was very happy that this was not the case with the sausage italiano pasta.

I liked the sausage chunks in the pasta, as the savory taste of sausage was perfect with the pasta. I also really enjoyed the melted cheese. However, there was also ground beef in the pasta, and the texture of the ground beef didn't really go so well with it.

This is probably my favorite type of pasta from Pizza Hut, so I don't like that they don't have a family size portion of this pasta, and they only have it in individual size. I also don't like that when they have a pasta deal, they don't let us apply the pasta deal to sausage italiano pasta. :-(

But anyway... overall, the pasta was pretty good. If they took out the ground beef from the pasta and maybe added more cheese, then I think it would be perfect.
