I know I JUST posted from here, but the second time around was just too good to resist.. Thai breakfast at @cheevit.dee is one of my new favorite things..
Brunch Set #4
Kai-Kata, Moo Ping, and Sticky Rice
Essentially a whole lot of pork (skewers, Chinese sausage, ground, and bacon with a sunny egg, sticky rice, and toast. This, and an order of Thai donuts and Shumai, and done.

The first thing I saw this morning was @portlandfoodmap posting about the new breakfast hours at @cheevit.dee - so I made a beeline and was there by 8:15 (they start serving at 8, FRI-SUN). Pictured here is “Brunch Set #3,” Khao Tom Soup w/Shrimp, Pork & Egg Bun, and Shrimp & Pork Shumai. Additionally I sampled both the Thai Fried Dough and Grilled Bread, both served with Pandan Cream and Thai Iced Tea Custard. I’ll take this over bacon and eggs anytime... #khaotom #shumai #pathongo #porkbun #thaifood #cheevitdee
Ok, ONE more restaurant post and I’m done - staying in and cooking for the next few days - and certainly wasn’t going to miss an opportunity eat at @long_grain_camden . I really like their new space, especially the addition of the Asian market, which includes their own brands of hot sauces, spice packets, etc. The food is spot-on every single time, and I even deviated from my usual order of the Spicy Night Market Soup and branched out into…. Another spicy soup!
Pictured:
1 - Fried Cauliflower with shallot, fresh herbs, and nouc cham
2 - The new and improved pan-fried Garlic Chive Rice Cakes
3 - Hue Style Noodle Soup with braised Maine farm beef and fresh rice noodles, served in a lemongrass-annatto seed broth
5 - Crispy Thai-marinated chicken wings w/ fried garlic
6 - The Market
I was in kind of rare form last night, started off with dinner at @izakayaminato, followed by a plate of razor clams at @drifterswife and then foie gras for dessert at @288forestreet
I can highly recommend this progression to anyone (if you were planning on asking me what you should do tonight, my answer is, “This”) Pictured, from Izikaya Minato
1 - Fried Smelts
2 - Sashimi
3 - Mackerel marinated in vinegar
4 - Crab & Tofu Egg Drop Soup
5 - Braised Pork Belly with Spicy Mustard
Lights were getting a bit dim towards the latter part of the evening.. #portlandmaine #decadence #fuckit
