I still cook tho 😅 my dad and @ajtony_bluedog caught some salmon and I got to take one home with me. Baked salmon with a gingery sweet chili soy marinade. And cilantro. Lots of cilantro. Because we love cilantro 💕🌱 #mayvalmunchies #valryskitchen https://www.instagram.com/p/CggGAZvLeiz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Also got to try the crab imperial rolls too! There's something about fried rice paper that's so satisfying. 😋 #MayValMunchies (at Phở Hà Nội San Jose) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cde0jJvLZTL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We went to @phohanoisanjose and didn't even get pho 🤣 It's aite though. Got the Cambodian dry noodles which was pretty satisfying. #MayValMunchies (at Phở Hà Nội San Jose) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cde0b1ZLiYI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cajun shrimp courtesy of a bucket of sauce from my uncle. @maybo212 added corn and potatoes. #seefooddiet #MayValMunchies https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdd8WL1vUfI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Brunch at @orchardcitykitchen. I got the budae jiggae since I was craving soup, but it left me somewhat disappointed. I wanted more of a kick and more flavorful soup. KFC chicken solid as usual. Tried the poutine curry tots. Tots themselves were standard and the poutine gravy was the curry. Looks like they used shredded cheese instead of cheese curds which is normally in poutine. #MayValMunchies (at Orchard City Kitchen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaO1z3uru0z/?utm_medium=tumblr

The fried chicken sandwich with mushroom gravy and regular gravy. That mushroom gravy is SOOOO good. Like a better cream of mushroom. I would've been happy just with their biscuit and the mushroom gravy. #sutoadventures #MayValMunchies (at Denver Biscuit Company) https://www.instagram.com/valrytam/p/CYS8MUIrvEV/?utm_medium=tumblr

And this gigantic mound was the shrimp and grits biscuit. A scoop out of the middle of the biscuit was filled with grits. It was packed with shrimp. But omg it was so heavy. Not sure if anything on the menu was going to not be heavy though 😅 #sutoadventures #MayValMunchies (at Denver Biscuit Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYS7Qk9rczJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Have you ever had a biscuit cinnamon roll? You can get one at @denverbiscuitco. Its not as fluffy, so a bit heavier than a usual cinnamon roll. #MayValMunchies #sutoadventures (at Denver Biscuit Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYS4rYNrfme/?utm_medium=tumblr

This dessert though was fantastic. Buttermilk cake was so moist. A marshmallow accompanied it on the side was the perfect sweetness. A little tang from the persimmon puree. Omg I can still taste this cake. #MayValMunchies #sutoadventures @thewolfstailor (at The Wolf's Tailor) https://www.instagram.com/valrytam/p/CYS0pv3LGRd/?utm_medium=tumblr

First dessert bite was a calamnsi curd with chocolate, puffed tapioca pearls (which were unreal), black sesame, and hibiscus leaf. #MayValMunchies #sutoadventures (at The Wolf's Tailor) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYS0SXdryoK/?utm_medium=tumblr

A few dishes accompanied the meat course like this bowl of wok fried cabbage with housemade scallop XO (with chunks of scallop!), gooseberries, and puffed forbidden rice and pickled radish. #MayValMunchies #sutoadventures (at The Wolf's Tailor) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYS0DLNLAPI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Next course was Colorado raised bison cooked over white oak with a shiso pesto and a pear tare. Crunches of buckwheat also on top. #MayValMunchies #sutoadventures @thewolfstailor (at The Wolf's Tailor) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYSzpy2LxsP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yecora roja grains were used for the pasta. Sat in a morel soup with radishes and hibiscus leaf. The ancient grain gave it a bit of a bite to the pasta. #MayValMunchies #sutoadventures (at The Wolf's Tailor) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYSzZsyrC5c/?utm_medium=tumblr

Grilled venison skewer with mint and I think it was a plum sauce. Each bite was so tender. This might've been my favorite venison dishes on the trip. #sutoadventures #MayValMunchies (at The Wolf's Tailor) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYSzHT6Lr4j/?utm_medium=tumblr

This course was a challenge for me because it was fruits galore. 😂 I ate it all though! Apples, oranges, puffed grains, beets, celery greens, and dressing on the side. #MayValMunchies #sutoadventures (at The Wolf's Tailor) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYSy4a0r0N3/?utm_medium=tumblr

This course was probably my favorite. Hamachi crudo pomegranate seeds, pickled pineapples, crispy taro chips and in the side, a smear of nam prik pao Thai chili sauce. Everything came together beautifully and you can adjust your heat but adding however much of the Thai chili sauce you wanted. #MayValMunchies #sutoadventures @thewolfstailor (at The Wolf's Tailor) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYSTyy5PeFx/?utm_medium=tumblr
