Bourbon Street Seafood Kitchen - San Antonio

When entering the building, I thought the place looked kind of weird. The designer, I think, was trying to create an outdoor cafe type setting, and they failed. However, this restaurant, located at 2815 N Loop 1604 E, has created one of my favorite appetizers...Mussels Mariniere. These are cooked in white wine, with lemon and butter sauce, and a touch of red pepper; makes my mouth water just thinking about them. The mussels are mussels, it's the sauce that makes this appetizer special. Normally, Kathy and I can down several little loaves of their very good homemade bread, leaving very little room for the main course.

Now, I've lived in Louisiana for several years, prior to moving to TX, and haven't found too many places, outside LA, that claim to make good Cajun food. But this eatery does the Cajun name justice. I can't say I love everything that is made here, never been a rice fan, but they make a good garlic mash potatoes for people such as myself. The place has something else I really like; with the good food you will enjoy, it has good service. From the manger making sure everyone is being attentive, to the waiter making sure all glasses are filled, these folks do it right. So, if you have a taste for New Orleans, this is the place for you.

Kowloon Chinese Restaraunt - Shertz, TX

The Kowloon Chinese Restaurant located at 950 FM 78 Schertz is not the best Chinese restaurant I ever ate at, but is definitely not the worst. When you walk into the restaurant you see the coy pond off to the right, with turtles and the typical gold fish swimming about. Some of the staff have been there for awhile and it shows. They tend to drag a little bit and come off as if they really don't want to be there. They aren't rude or discourteous, just beat down. The food, on the other hand, is good and you receive a generous proportions. We tried the lettuce wraps as and appetizer, it comes in a square bowl with dark sauce, chopped up meat and veggies, and peas. It looks weird, but has great flavor. Another appetizer I like is the shrimp toast, with the sweet and sour sauce. You can't go wrong with the triple delight and generals chicken, and if you have the hankering for something curry, their curry chicken has good flavor (Not over bearing). Overall, if you are in the area and want Chinese food, this is worth trying.

Siam Cuisine - Shertz, TX

This Thai restaurant located in the four oak shopping center off of 3009, beside the Walmart, is a small Establishment that serves big portions of food. The eatery is a very clean, open restaurant with high ceilings, without all the normal Thai decorations. I'm not a Thai fan, unlike Kathy who loves Thai, but I make an exception for this place. They have this stir fried noodle dish (Phad See-Ew) with chicken, pork, and beef that has unbelievable flavor. We always get an appetizer with cheese rolls, shrimp rolls, and fried won tons with sweet and sour dipping sauce, and have yet to be disappointed. The only down side to the restaurant is the price, I believe it's a tad pricey. However, Kathy thinks the price is medium compared to ones she usually frequents.
