Eating out

After Gabriel's dental appointment last Tuesday, we had dinner at Maxim's. Yum chicken feet and spareribs! It's really a treat. Gabriel, who just had a tooth extraction did not mind at all and ate chicken feet with gusto. I'm happy to say -- we live to eat, not eat to live.

And today, Jojo and I just drove to Fuel City to try out the much-reviewed "best tacos in Dallas." It was small, but what can you expect when you pay $1.16. It was good though. I tried the beef fajita, chicken, and barbacoa. I liked the beef fajita best. If we decide to drive by again, I'll order beef fajitas exclusively. I'd still say the fish tacos in Half Shells are the best tacos, Big Shucks grilled tacos coming in as a close second.

Which reminds me, we still have that Cheesecake Factory gift card to use. Oh, I'll try out the ribs and not order the miso salmon.

On another topic, we tried the Hong Phat supermarket in Saigon Mall yesterday. Very clean and big, but I would still prefer to go to Hiep Thai next time. However, we did order roast pork for take out. Yum yum. It tastes like lechon, in fact, I know for sure I won't miss lechon now that I can buy roast pork here at any time. Too bad we missed the roast duck coz they ran out.

I bought ingredients for kare-kare. So we'll probably have kare-kare for dinner soon. Maybe tonight.
