Salim always joked about having to pack an overnight bag and get a hotel whenever he makes a trip to visit me in Katy.
He committed to making that drive today and noticed just how far I trek every time I used to go out there for work, happy hours with ex-coworkers, or any hangouts with him I did.
He said he’ll do better in making our hangouts more equal but we’ll see it to believe it.
He came to my house and I drove us to El Kourmet. He’s from Venezuela and I was told by my Venezuelan friends, this was the best. We ordered arepas and tequenos. Tequenos are like mozzarella sticks, but better. And the arepas were so freaking delicious. I want to come back and try the empanadas. He also ordered Maltin soda. Thankful we only got one since it was so sweet. It reminded him of home so I guess it did it’s thing.
We stopped by at Mallory’s to drop off her keys she left in my car. JJ was so dang sweet. He jumped into my arms and gave me so many kisses.
Salim and I went on our merry way to our next destination for boba which has become a thing of tradition everytime we hangout. I chose Panntea since I’ve never been and if didn’t dissapoint. He got the regular Royal Milk Tea and I got the Matcha Brown Sugar Milk Tea. He liked mine more than his and I’d have to agree. We also ordered spicy popcorn chicken and a eel onigiri. both pretty good but nothing to rave about.
We went to HMart after hoping to find durian for him to try. He said he’s smelled it before and thought it smelled really good. We didn’t find the durian but found jackfruit and now that he things about it, he thinks the person trying to sell him durian lied and it was actually jackfruit.
When we bid our farewells, we talked about having to go back to El Kourmet for empanadas, get Crawfish, and durian. Not sure when our next hangout is but I’m already ready to eat!
I took a nice nap and did some side projects before I made dinner. Mum got me a nice piece of steak and I paired it with roasted asparagus and broccoli. This is probably one of the best steaks I’ve ever made. Getting better every time!
More side projects and Gotham before bed. Night world!
