Ah-Ma’s Taiwanese Kitchen

Ah-Ma’s Taiwanese Kitchen, Midtown

In a humble corner of Midtown next to Richard’s Variety lies a very good Taiwanese place that specializes in street food. Happy to say that it’s also right off the Beltline! The restaurant is small but the service is super-fast. We didn’t have to wait for a table but a larger party did. They are known for their Bao, the pork belly is my favorite, but don’t be foolish and miss the small plates. The Beef Tendon Salad had a good balance of spice and is served cold. The Salt & Pepper Chicken did not have a sauce and while I thought that would be problem it wasn’t at all, I particularly liked the use of dark meat. The best dish was the Sticky Rice but I will always think this since no matter the place it brings joy to my heart. And finally we ended with the Sweet Potato Balls, which below me away! Street food in any culture is always fun and different so if you’re up for something you wouldn’t find anywhere else head on over.

Iberian Pig, Decatur

It was fate that Marge and I were able to find two seats at the bar on a Friday night. This place has been popular for a couple of years years and is loved by all. If you’re on the hunt for wine & small plates seriously look no further. Their variety of wine by the glass is awesome, regardless of your preference they will have something for you. I tried two different Tempranillo‘s and a was pleased with both. We started with a cheese plate, which consisted of a Mahón D.O., Valdeón D.O., & Monte Enebro. Then we shared three small plates. The Pork Cheek Tacos were my favorite but don’t think that the Spanish Tortoloni & Lamb Ribs weren’t just as good! Our bartender was knowledgeable and gave us good suggestions on the cheese plate. I wish I could have tried their dessert but was just too full. The only things I would keep in mind when going here is that reservations are highly recommended and parking can be a pain but other than those two minor details go & enjoy!
