[2018] 055/365: Mother-Daughters Day

Scruffy and Luna left this morning and I went with Mum to pick up Sissy from the car dealership since she was getting so much done to her car. We went to 99 Ranch, picked up El Pollo Loco to bring home for a late lunch and after a shower, we headed out to get our nails done. Mum and I got pedicures while Sissy got Shellac on her hands.

Kim’s Tea House | Katy, Texas | Lychee Teas, Milk Tea, Taro Smoothie

We stopped by Kim’s Tea House for some delicious drinks bringing one home for June and Dad. YUM!

It’s been a chill day and I love it. I wish for more mother-daughter days but they’re tough to come by so I cherish them a lot.

Roll Me Into Bed For A Food Coma

by Leave a Comment

Jarro Cafe | Houston, Texas | Pastor Tacos

Scruffy came over with Luna this morning and after a few ball throws and work on the laptop, we headed to Jarro Cafe for the beloved tacos we’ve missed so much.

Freedom & Company | Houston, Texas

Afterwards, we headed over to Freedom & Company for a haircut. Go check her out! She’s pretty great and listens to your opinons.

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas

Since Himalaya Restaruant was close by, we had to try it out – mainly because everyone says it’s the best!

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Lamb Biryani

Lamb Biryani [tender pieces of lamb cooked in a magical blend of dry whole spices and then layered with fragrant Basmati rice. This is the Indo-Pakistani version of the Spanish Paella] | $12.92

This wasn’t up my alley. Scruffy liked it but I wasn’t a big fan.

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Side Dishes

This side dish with a dipping sauce that Scruffy says is chutney was free. We didn’t really touch it.

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Garlic Nan

Garlic Nan | $2.99

This is bomb. I wish it was as fluffy as the tandoori nan but it was still amazing mostly because of the garlic. YUM!

Himalaya Restaurant & Catering | Houston, Texas | Pre-Set Lunch Special

Pre-Set Lunch Special Combo [delicious platter that changes daily: incles all of the following – tender boneless chicken curry, boneless lamb curry, grilled or dry appetizer, dal or vegetable (their choice), steamed basmati rice, and a fresh tandoori nan] | $13.75

This was my favourite. I liked the lamb curry, vegetable curry, rice and the nan. Other than that, I was meh about it.

I think Bombay Grill is still probably my favourite Indian food.

Kirby Ice House | Houston, Texas

After being home for a while, we headed out to Kirby Ice House for Saleh’s early birthday celebration.

2018 | 054/365 | Kirby Ice House | Houston, Texas | Frosted Rose and Beer

[2018] 054/365: Out After 9 PM

Scruffy and I are never out late anymore. Not too sure if it’s because we live in the suburbs or if we’re just both lazy and over it but I thought we should commemorate this. This frozen rose drink was bomb. I loved it but not so much the price.

The Waffle Bus | Houston, Texas

They had two food trucks there but we ended up picking The Waffle Bus.

The Waffle Bus | Houston, Texas | Chicken Thunder Fries

Chicken Thunder Fries [buttermilk fried chicken bites on top of seasoned waffle fries with spicy mayo and ancho chile honey butter] | $10

We got our usual and scarfed it down.

It was nice to see and meet other people, hang out and talk with them about things that mean nothing but we soon bid farewell since we still had to drive back and the pups were waiting for us.

Please roll me into bed now. I’m ready to be in a food coma after today’s foods.

[2018] 053/365: Rocky and Rizzo

Best friends. Well, uncle and nephew. hehe Rocky’s been sleeping in my bed at night which is a little weird but I guess this means he has missed me a lot since I was over at Scruffy’s for a while. Their little head tilts are the cutest.

Saigon Pho and Grill Vietnamese Noodle House | Sugar Land, Texas | Crawfish

Crawfish | $8.99

Crawfish at Saigon Pho and Grill Vietnamese Noodle House while Scruffy got pho for lunch. It was cooked to perfection, flavour was great, but the size wasn’t amazing, especially for that price. Sigh, sucks. I am excited about crawfish season. Cheap, big, and DELICIOUS!

OG Tea | Sugar Land, Texas | Hazelnut Milk Tea and Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Since one pound wasn’t anything, we went to OG Tea for some Hazelnut Milk Tea and Strawberry Banana Smoothie. YUM! The smoothie surpassed my expectations.

OG Tea | Sugar Land, Texas | Hazelnut Milk Tea and Strawberry Banana Smoothie | Panda Lids

I especially loved the covers on the drinks. Scruffy calls me a Panda and it was so cute that on mine, there’s a panda and a pup = RIzzo and I!

And Scruffy had a panda and a boy hugging it = Scruffy hugging me. hehe

OG Tea | Sugar Land, Texas | Popcorn Chicken and Fries

Scruffy ordered some bahn mis for Ashy and Korman and I went for popcorn chicken and fries with ranch. Everything was a bit too sweet but fried to perfection. I’m not too certain if I’d get this again. Maybe when I’m extremely hungry and it’s the only thing.

Meatball, Lentil, and Rice Dinner by Korman at Scruffy's

Korman cooked us all dinner and Rami and Caitlin came over with Peyton. The dinner was delicious and it was great to finally see the little baby since the end of December. It has been a long while. She’s grown so much!

Home Alone With The Pups

2018 | 051/365 | Chilling on the Sofa with Rizzo and Luna

[2018] 051/365: Sofa Chilling With The Pups

I agreed to dog sit for Scruffy today since no one was going to be home and it would be the first day that Luna would have without Scruffy and Daisy.

Daisy passed away last Friday and it’s been hard for everyone, especially Ashy. As annoying as Daisy was with her barks and the way she was insistent with the ball, I would never wish her death. May she always be running after balls up in doggie heaven.

Rudy's Country Store and BBQ | Richmond, Texas | Moist Brisket and Creamed Corn

Later that night, Scruffy, Ashy, Komran, and I went to Rudy’s for some delicious BBQ. Komran doesn’t get much of it in California so he was happy we went there for dinner. I was super happy to finally get my creamed corn.

85°C Bakery | Sugar Land, Texas | Breads and Pastries

Afterward, they wanted dessert so we went to 85° Bakery for some pastries and breads that we all shared together.

I am now regretting stuffing my face, sitting at Andrew’s, watching Chinese while they bro out.

Hopefully this gives me a great night sleep!
