Stopped in to Tastealotta yesterday evening on a whim. I'm not really someone who usually buys…read moreflavored oils or balsamic. I'm content with the olive oil you buy at Costco. When we walked in we were immediately greeted by a very nice woman. She let us browse the shop and then asked if we wanted to sample anything. I can't for the life of me enjoy plain oil, so I politely declined. We ended up getting the 6 sample pack and while we were at the check out counter we saw they sell fresh ricotta. So we bought that as well. I haven't had a chance to really try the oil yet, but let me tell you about that ricotta!! We made homemade pizza last night and decided to throw some ricotta on them. It was to die for!! We did get to try the regular balsamic, as our friend had it and put it on the pizza as a drizzle. I will definitely be back to buy more oils or ricotta. We've consumed almost all the ricotta in 24 hours, it's just that tasty!!

The West Shore Farmer's Market is actually so cool!!!! Just went for the first time yesterday and…read morewas really impressed. It was larger than the Harrisburg downtown one and reminded me of Reading Terminal in Philly (less crowded but still lots of options). There's also tons of parking all surrounding the building. The upstairs section has small specialty shops; the lower level is full of food vendors -- from produce to fresh pasta to tacos to pizza to pierogies to quiches. They also even had plant stands and floral arrangements. I got 1.5lbs of fresh made spinach fettuccine from Fasta & Ravioli, two very tasty bagels from Bagel Lovers (foccacia flavored and everything egg bagels--both were SO delicious and a great texture; they also had tons of other varieties like pumpernickel, onion, and blueberry, all made fresh daily and for a very reasonable price -- I think I paid something around $3 for my two bagels). I could've spent tons more time there but unfortunately was just stopping by after running an errand in the area. Needless to say, I will be back!!

Stopped by the market after a coworker mentioned they had opened a new fried chicken restaurant…read moreinside. I decided to give it a try, and overall, I was impressed. The fried chicken was the highlight of the meal. It had a golden-brown, crispy coating and was cooked perfectly--juicy, tender, and not dried out at all. The portions were generous, with some of the largest pieces of fried chicken I've seen from a hot food counter. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, making for a great side dish. The cornbread muffin was moist, soft, and paired well with the meal. The only downside was the potato wedges. They were seasoned well, but a few pieces tasted a little overcooked or burnt, which took away from an otherwise solid meal. Overall, this was a very good first experience. Between the large portions, fresh food, and flavorful chicken, it's definitely worth stopping in if you're looking for a quick comfort-food meal. I'd happily go back and try it again.

So far I've tried the breakfast sausage, ground sausage, delmonoco steak, and their mock chicken. What is mock chicken? Well it's pork and veal shaped into a chicken leg, put on a stick, and breaded.

I'm anxious to try everything else I got but I'll definitely return to LD Weaver at the West shore farmers market for my meat eating needs

I like the service, but sometimes you wait a while in a long line, which I think is good because that only can mean they have tons of people waiting for their food! Like I said before, I recommend this place.

You'll get a nice hot bowl of flavorful soup loaded with veggies. Dong My's version of pho is made with chicken broth instead of the traditional beef. In fact, beef isn't even among the available meat options. Still pretty good, though. The mung bean pancake was good, but room temperature. The fried items on their menu like the egg rolls and pancakes are prepared in advance and will be served from the display case instead of fresh out of the fryer. Probably best to stick to the soup.

I had no idea that they actually have a coffee shop in there with seating! I do plan to come back and sit and enjoy myself but note that the store opens at 10AM most days. The only thing I didn't like about the store was that it was difficult to smell some of the teas because they were on very high shelves and also the shelves are close together so it is hard to get your nose close. Still, this was not bothersome enough to affect my rating on this place.
