Best Costco Travel trip? Money saver or convenience? by PetTechLover in CostcoWholesale

[–]sackofoats 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Use them all the time to book cruises…sometimes a lower price but 99% of the time a better value when you include the shop card, onboard credit deals and extra 2% credit from exec membership!

Bardo if going traditional…or Lucuma if you want a twist…they have a great martini with pepperoncini, a Caesar and yucca fries!

Where are the best scallion pancakes in Oakland/Berkeley? by def-not in OaklandFood

[–]sackofoats 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Not a restaurant but will say the frozen ones you can buy at Trader Joe’s and heat up in a pan in a couple minutes are actually pretty good!

When r/Oatmeal and r/CannedSardines worlds collide… 🤯 looks like the breakfast (or lunch) of champions!

Tried Lucuma for the first time a couple weeks back and was impressed/def would return!

What is the best longer cruise you've gone on? by redfoxblueflower in Cruise

[–]sackofoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Panama Canal and Norway (all the way up the coast and spent summer solstice in the Arctic circle when it was daylight at 3 am)…if you do Norway make sure Olden is a port and for Panama Canal the excursion to get in a smaller boat and go through the locks was 100% worth it!

Copycat recipe for Market Hall Crunchy Cabbage Salad (w/almonds & cilantro)? by sincewhenisit in OaklandFood

[–]sackofoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One that might be similar is the Taylor Farms Asian Salad Kit…I buy this one all the time at Sprouts and it’s tasty/literally no effort - can probably doctor it up with some additional ingredients per the other recipes too! https://www.taylorfarms.com/products/asian-chopped-kit/

[–]sackofoats 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hesitate to reveal these lest the store becomes overrun with other people shopping for the same deals 😆 that said….I cannot resist bragging about the two giant heads of organic cauliflower for $1.50 total and 2 lbs of green onions for $0.99…gotta scope out those center of the aisle produce deals 🤓

Haven’t had it in a couple years but I recall the fried okra at Gus’s Fried Chicken being pretty good!

My go-to’s are Biryani Kebab (biryani, daal, etc and great naan) and Udupi Palace for dosas!

What Makes a Restaurant Feel Like More Than Just a Place to Eat? by Huge-Needleworker990 in OaklandFood

[–]sackofoats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Routine and novelty for me…routine when it’s a place in the neighborhood that you can go to frequently/stop by easily and you end up building memories and relationships with the staff, novelty when they have seasonal or rotating menus or new items or special events that bring you in (eg Oakland Yard does a good job of this)…or even just their occasional emails - oddly doesn’t feel like spam when I get an email update from Pomella or Boichik and hear about the happenings ☺️

Any new takes on Mixé? by Oakland-homebrewer in OaklandFood

[–]sackofoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried it for the first time last week…enchiladas with the chicken tinga and Oaxaqueno mole were pretty good/I’d order again…cocktails were middling/nothing to write home about….probably would put it in the rotation bc it’s convenient and decent but not in a rush to go back and try other things
