Reading Terminal, Philadelphia PA

"Tommy dinics"
 
After any race in Philadelphia, a group of us have to visit Reading Terminal for a bonanza of food.  This was the Roast Beef, with the Broccoli Rabe and Provolone sandwich from Tommy Dinic's.  This was featured on some food show --- i forget which but they were totally correct the line is worth standing in, especially if you go early and there is virtually no line *grins*.  The broccoli rabe is uber garlicky yummy and lends a nice bitterness.  The sandwiches while are about a foot long -- same as what you would get at say a Subway but way tastier!  If you are wandering around Philly and want some cheap eats, def check out Reading Terminal -- well i mean as long as you can eat at only 1 spot that is ....

Cupcake Friday - Raspberry Amaretto



A delightful Raspberry flavored cupcake with a scoop of raspberry jelly.  An almond buttercream frosting -- again with the too sweet part with the frosting but otherwise yummy!

Raspberry Amaretto - Almond Cupcake with a raspberry filling and an almond flavored butter cream.

Yep it is as good as it looks.  I found the icing to be a bit much mostly because the raspberry jam was already sweet, but the flavoring is good.  The cupcake is lightly almond flavored and with every bite you get a little bit of the raspberry jam.

Olympic Themed Cupcake Friday 08.17.2012


IMG_1282 IMG_1281 IMG_1293
Iced Gems decided that during the Olympics they were going to have themed cupcakes.  This is the 2nd one from their British/Olympics Themed cupcakes that I tried.  Britiana Cupcake - raspberry + peach cake, with raspberry butter cream.  The cupcake was more raspberry flavored than peach -- but maybe this was just my cupcake, but I felt that there was almost no peach flavor until you bit into a peach piece.  Otherwise, the cupcake was very good -- mostly the raspberry flavor stood out since there was raspberry in the cupcake and in the icing.

Cupcake Friday 08.10.2012 - Phelps Cupcake

Iced Gems baking is celebrating the Olympics with some fun themed cupcakes.  This is the phelps cupcake which is a chocolate chip cupcake with some caramel inside and a vanilla frosting.  In addition, there is a chocolate coin and flag topper.  This was a very enjoyable cupcake to eat -- while i wished the chocolate topper consists of a dark chocolate disc, I was happy with the cupcake itself.

Blueberry Chocolate Chip cupcake.  Blueberry flavored cupcake with chocolate chips with a blueberry butter cream frosting with a chocolate disc and black raspberry topper.

This cupcake was pretty good.  There wasnt enough blueberries for me, but i love blueberries so i would consider something that has an overabundance of blueberries an appropriate amount of blueberries -- so this was probably just right for most people.  There was also a lot of chocolate chips in the cupcake -- weird since the flavors you would think wouldn't mesh, but this does work.  I split the cupcake with the boy and he said it wasnt his favorite (he likes peanut butter and chocolate and more chocolate) but it was pretty good.

 Honey Lavender cupcake -- honey cupcake with a light floral lavender icing.  Good -- but wish there was more lavender flavor in the icing.

Cupcake Friday



Peppermint Lemonade - lemon cupcake with lemon curd filling and a lemon butter cream frosting with a peppermint stick.  I didnt taste much of the peppermint in the cupcake, just the peppermint stick.. so i'm not entirely sure that there really is any peppermint flavor in it.  Nonetheless, yummy

Lunch from a food truck you say?



There's a new food truck in town called Noodlerolla.  The prices are appropriate, rolls start at $5, the burrito which you can see in the right 2 pictures was like 7?  The Sushi/Sashimi bento box was close to 13$.
