Sentiment analysis: This little gem of a restaurant has won me over after only 2 visits. Most Thai places I've visited feel too cold, too sterile, too kitschy. Nittaya is a comfortable space that feels elegant without feeling stuffy. The food is the true star. Nittay's Secret Kitchen serves "Thai Tapas". I was skeptical that this was just another marketing term for "not enough food". I was pleasantly surprised. Generously portioned, beautiful and tasty creations graced my table. The World Famous Spinach salad is a revelation. Deep fried Avocado with panko crumbs and two sauces will make you swoon. I plan on eating my way through the menu :)

Sentiment analysis: HALO-HALO CHALLENGE 2013 - Contender #9 "This is our very own." That's what the name of this restaurant, Ito'y Sariling Atin, means. I know because I asked my mom, who was born and raised in the Philippines, unlike me, who was born in Akron, OH, raised in Cerritos, CA, and have parents who didn't teach me Tagalog. Now you know, too. As the Halo-Halo Challenge winds down, contender #9 brought us to yet another Filipino fast food place that we've never visited. One thing Mel and I have learned in this short period of time doing the challenge is that Las Vegas has A LOT of Filipino food restaurants. We're only going to review ten of them for this go-round, but there are still many beyond that number. ISA is a "turo-turo" style place where you "point-point" at the food you want, just like those other places where you line up at the counter and can get two or three-item combos with rice. We didn't have any food, but I thought I'd let you know in case you want to eat here. We didn't see halo-halo on the menu, but just ordered it anyway, knowing that they did offer it. The lady behind the counter starting speaking to Mel in Tagalog--uh oh. When this happens and you don't understand what's being said, you just keep answering in English. She got the message and finally told us that it would take ten minutes. Oh, okay. The price here is $5.25 for the icy dessert and theirs had: Ube ice cream, kaong, azuki, one piece of leche flan, nata de coco, white beans, jam, and chunky ice, again. What's with the chunky ice? Challenger #7 also had chunky ice. I am not a fan of little icebergs in my bowl that I need to stab with my plastic spoon. No macapuno, langka, ube, or pinipig in this version. Other than the chunky ice, this halo-halo is not too shabby. It's only missing a couple of ingredients that I prefer to make it one of my favorites so far. HALO-HALO+TURO-TURO=YUM-YUM - 9 down, 1 left!

Sentiment analysis: Are you in Pittsburgh? Somewhere in the East End? Is it lunch time? Get yourself to Park Bruges. Subjectively, they have my favorite burger in all of the Burgh. The burger is always perfectly done and the bread is fresh, with a perfect crust. Everything above and beyond that just makes it all the better. Though the draft list is small, their bottle selection is substantial and varied. They have great wines available and the atmosphere is vibrant -- for lunch or dinner. Going for dinner? Get there early or get ready to wait.
