Frontier Restaurant

I was in Albuquerque a while ago and my friends insist to go to this famous breakfast place -- Frontier Restaurant.  It is definitely a place to check out what local New Mexican food looks like.  It is of course nothing to fancy but I enjoy knowing what the locals have for an everyday breakfast.  The conclusion is, they like really spicy food!

Burrito
Tortilla was soft with lots of beef inside.
Watch out if you are not used to spicy food.  My tongue was burning
and I can feel hot steam coming out of my ears.
Burrito with sauce
If you do like hot and spicy, ask for some sauce on it.
Definitely will spice up your life!


Frontier Sweet Roll
Fresh out of the oven.  Lots of sweet and starch.

The Elephant Bar

I was at Albuquerque, NM for a few days but there was only one day that I get to go out to try out something interesting.  The restaurant is really cool.  Anyway, I do not quite remember the name of the dish but it's a couscous salad.  The couscous was amazing but the sides were a little dry to my liking.



Blue Water Cafe and Raw Bar

I have been to Blue Water Cafe and Raw Bar one other time before this and I absolutely love their main entrees.  So,  I am going to attempt to summarize my two visits with as many pictures as I can and as few words as I can

Starting us off some bread and some spread.  I think it's butter with herb and some red pepper beans?


Gulf Island Swimming Scallops
I love the crunch crunch crunch of it! And the scallops was very juicy!

Lobster Roll


Dungeness Crab + White Asparagus Panna Cotta
I did not know what I was expecting. I can have a few servings of this for lunch!
The green apple really lighten up the dish a lot.


Artic Char
The skin was nice. Love the sides!

Ling Cod
Wonder why there are sausages? It adds flavour to the whole dish.
But the sausages are a little too salty to my liking.

Ahi Tuna
It was nicely grilled.  I would like it more if the inside is a little more juicy.

Brownie with Chocolate Ganache
A little too dry for my liking
