Another Houston Restaurant Week for the books this year! Was it worth the $35 for four courses? Probably not.
Mallory and JJ came along for the ride with me and Scruffy. I haven’t seen these two for a long while so it was long overdue. This boy has grown up so fast!
We ordered two rounds of sake bombs, traditional between Mallory and I. I haven’t drank that much in such a long time I got tipsy.
Our first course was pretty bleugh overall. I believe the coconut shrimp was the best out of everything flavourwise.
Our second course blew me away! I was surprised to find that I had nine pieces of sashimi instead of six as stated on the menu. Everything was pretty good overall for this course.
Scruffy and I got the same for our third course. The ribeye was very flavourful and tender. Probably one of the best I’ve had in a while. Mallory’s salmon was pretty good too. I especially loved the crispy skin.
Four our fourth and final course, we were deeply disappointed. The waiter said the watermelon dessert was his favourite but it was horrible. Think of a watermelon soaked in lemon-citris juice. The summer shaved ice was a big giant fail. JJ had fun eating the fruit out of it though. The winner was the Lychee Ice Cream with Macarons.
[2018] 241/365: Dinner with Some Favourites
It’s usually just Mallory, JJ and I at dinner or over at her house so I was very estatic that Scruffy was around to join us. With him and Mallory chatting up a storm I was able to chopstick feed JJ and focus on him. He is adorable and makes me wish my niece was closer to us so I could do the same with her.
After dinner we all stopped by Sephora before heading home. I’m so pooped. I cannot wait to jump into bed. Good night!
