Chicken 21: Thai

So I've mentioned the Windows 7 Whopper before, and I really need to build one of those. But an epiphany came today! The Apple Macintosh operating system is known as OS X. That X stands for 10. And now Burger King is selling double cheese burgers for a buck a pop.

Mac OS 10 cheeseburger.

Cheap and effective. I really need to get on that. Couldn't make it a OS 10 Whopper as that would just be pretty unoriginal, and excessively expensive. Also my coworker remarked that it would make more sense for the burger to come from McDonald's. An OS 10 Big Mac would make more sense, but damn that would be expensive, and less tasty. Plus McDonald's doesn't keep it real like the King does.

Chicken 21: Chicken Pad Thai

Second to last day, and it was time to hit up the Thai food place near us. Convenient as it was right by the Duane Reade, and I was in need of replenishing my wallet. The choice today: Chicken Pad Thai.

The Chicken Pad Thai was essentially not really Chicken Pad Thai though. When ordering, vegetarian Pad Thai was thrown into a plastic box, then chicken from a separate metal bin was thrown on top. It was then topped off by some bean sprouts and carrots.

The Chicken was sort of bland. It was cooked up with some eggs, and wasn't dry, but it didn't really taste like much. Well it did taste like chicken, but it needed something else. Far too plain. Luckily that bottle of sriracha sauce was still standing by to assist in the flavor department. Definitely added a dimension to some pretty plain chicken.

The Pad Thai itself was actually pretty full of flavor though. What really stood out was the sweetness and the tangyness, and how well it worked together. The carrots and bean sprouts gave a nice crunchiness to the soft noodles. Sriracha sauce mixed into the noodles really added a lot of flavor to the Pad Thai. It mixed really well, and added a great amount of heat to the food. Sriracha is totally cheat code for food.

I could have gone for a slightly larger portion though. If only I could have gotten a chicken pot pie or something...

Final chicken tomorrow!
