Great Ceviche and Finally a few excellent Food Trucks

So it was a great week for eating.  My wife and I tried Saxsay Deli near our house just off NW 94th Ave and Commercial Blvd near Bru's Room.  We got the mixed seafood ceviche and it was the bomb diggity.  There was no fishiness whatsoever and the lime juice and cilantro came bursting through just like they should.  They have a hot pepper sauce on the side that has some kick and adds a wonderful colorful flavor to the ceviche, but a little goes a long way.  The decor of the restaurant leaves much to leave desired as does the seating, but once the ceviche comes all that is long forgotten.  We happen to get Fish a la meniere.  Far too salty for my taste but otherwise perfectly done.  Truly can't wait to get more ceviche.  Thinking maybe take out next time.  If you are a fan you've gotta go.

I also went to Gulfstream Park on Saturday night for the 790 the Ticket Food Truck tour event.  The lines were terrible as usual at some of the trucks.  There were some truly normal trucks there as well Bru's Room, Giuseppe's Cheese Steaks and Sausages(excellent but not gourmet in the least).  However there were some excellent finds there as well.  I went on a limited budget and had vegetable samosas from a truck I can't remember, then I had a Cuban Frita which was awesome, and then had some truly kick ass wings at dim ssam a go go.  Korean style wings that were the best wings I've had in some time.  Completely addictive.  The entire drive home I had to stop myself from turning around and going back for more.  Sakaya Kitchen is the restaurant behind the truck and if they have the wings run don't walk to get em.  Can't wait to make them at home.  I will post the recipe once I've got it perfected.  The Cuban Frita is a spiced hamburger with fresh fried shoe string potatoes and hot sauce.  Didn't think it would be good and it wasn't, it was great.  Everything about it was excellent.  Can't wait to have another one in the near future.

I will try to take pictures the next time.  Keep forgetting that aspect of blogging.  Couldn't really take too many pictures a the food truck event due to the lighting issue.
