BellyQ_Chicago

West Loop has the best places to eat.  Recently one of my childhood friend was visiting Chicago so I took her to Belly Q because I had heard a lot about it but never tired it.  I must say, it was the best choice.  Their unique menu has so much to offer for everyone.  We started of with Mac n Cheese, which was nothing like our regular Mac n Cheese.  It was their version with Japanese noodles, thai curry, and cheddar ; it was extremely delicious and the quantity was excellent for two people.  For my main entree I got my favourite Seared Tuna ; Oh my God so flavourful and extremely delicious.  The tuna was perfectly seared and extremely tender to eat with coconut grit and shrimp dressing.  The quantity was excellent and I kept eating even after I was full  Even though we were full, we had to order desert because so far everything at this restaurant was great, so we ordered Vietnamese Cinnamon Donut with Blueberry Jam.  I am not  fan of blueberry jam but this desert was out of this world.  Not to sweet, but perfect!  Even if you are not in the West Loop area I still recommend you to make a visit just to enjoy this restaurant, and I promise you that you will walk out feeling overly satisfied.

Nookies_Chicago

I have heard about Nookies from different people and they recommended the place so I made a visit for brunch.  I was really craving Salmon so I ordered Salmon Wrap with Sweet Potato Fries because it looked interesting.  The quantity was great but the taste not so much.  The fries were perfect and very fresh but the wrap was fresh but not as tasty as I thought.  I love flavour but when there is to much going on then it can ruin the taste and that is what was going on with this wrap.  It was a combination of chipotle mayo and cucumber relish blend together that ruined the taste of the wrap.  I do plan to go back and try their breakfast, however I was disappointed about the wrap.
