Sample Saturday: Back, with some food!

So I know that I personally have taken the week off of blogging for more important things (university midterms and such) but I am back (and hopefully to stay)
Anyway, here is some food reviews that I did while I was gone!

First up, here is a taco bell review!

I decided to order the crunchwrap supreme box! I had already tried the new doritos taco in a previous review so I decided to pick something else that was big on their menu.

Here is what it looks like when you open the box:

First up, we have the regular taco:

There really is not much to say about it. They use colby cheese, standard chopped iceburg lettuce, and ground beef with cumin in it. I would say it's a pretty average taco, great for their standard price. I would rate a 3/5. It's something that I would try at least once if you never have, even if just a value item.

Next up we have the supreme burrito. Although they call it a supreme burrito, there was not much in it. Every bite just tasted like lettuce and beans. When I looked inside of it, it just had sour cream, lettuce, and beans. It tasted like a very standard bean burrito, with the lettuce kind of mushy and hard to taste and the sour cream was not able to be tasted over the beans anyway. 2/5

Finally, we had the crunchwrap:

I was curious what was inside the crunchwrap as I never had tasted it before.

So inside, it looks pretty much like a regular taco except with chopped tomatos and with no meat in it. Seems decent right? Well, with every bite there was a lot of nacho cheese in it, so much that it pretty much overpowered everything except the tortillas. There was even points where the nacho cheese was oozing out because there was so much of it. I guess if you are a fan of nacho cheese you would like this. I rate it a 2/5.


Okay, so there is the taco bell review!
Next, onto a place that I went to called Umi Sushi. I asked the waitress there what was one of the most popular items. She replied with the bento box teryiaki chicken. Here is what it looked like:

First, I want to talk about the teriyaki chicken, the main part. The chicken was very dry, but they put a lot of the teryiaki sauce on it. The sauce was good, a bit strong on the sesame seed oil, however overall pretty good. 3/5, is what I thought upon initial bites. However, as I kept eating the chicken, the sauce was starting to get too overbearing, especially the aftertaste. Additionally, it felt like it was getting TOO salty, and needed something like water to tolerate it. I would rate it 2/5 at the end.
The white rice was average, not too dry yet not too moist. Would rate a 3/5.
The vegetables they used tasted very fresh. The cabbage was good, it did not taste as strong as you would normally expect pickled cabbage to taste. Would rate them a 4/5.
The california roll that was at the top was pretty standard. The avacado that they used was very ripe though which I liked, giving it a rating of 4/5.
Overall, the bento box seems like a great value at under 10 dollars, however, I would pick something besides the teriyaki chicken.
