A Whole Lotta Words

July 1, 2011 by Mellie Dee 2 Comments

I was the only one in the family that had to work today but work got a little easier when Mum called to let me know we were going to Tokyo One for dinner with June and Dad. Since it wasn’t a thrilling experience last time and the price went up from $25 to $27.99 per person, I debated on going.

But since I rarely get to see Dad I sucked it up and went. Outside our window was this wonderful view. There were even turtles but I didn’t have the right angle to take a picture of them.

I actually didn’t eat the crab but took a picture anyway because it was scary huge.

The green tea ice cream was not up to par as last times. Such a disappointment. The other ice cream is red bean ice cream. It tasted more like raspberries.

I really liked our waiter this time around. He came and picked up our plates pretty much every five minutes. We’re fast eaters.

I really don’t think me coming here is such a good deal since I don’t love it like they do but I guess whatever I have to do to spend time with Dad! Plus I didn’t have to pay!!

Look at that bill!

Late last week, I made plans with Nicole to meet up at Baker Street Pub then found out Brudda was coming into town as well. Since I get a whole week with him, I decided to not cancel on Nicole. We always had a friend with us because we knew some of the same people despite graduating with 1000+ back in 2007 so this is the first time it was one-on-one.

We talked about a lot of personal things. And I feel even closer to her. It feels good to trust someone with things you don’t tell people.

While we were there trying to have a conversation over the loud music, a guy came up to us and asked us if he could buy us a beer. We declined.  I always get awkward when people come up to me and do that, plus we both had to drive home after.

Our waitress kept asking if we needed anything else and we kept saying no. She finally told us the same guy had told her he will pick up the tab to whatever else we ordered. Still creeps me out.

All in all, after a long and tiring week of work, it was good to unwind with Nicole. I’ve missed her so much and it was definitely great to see her again. We’re planning for something next week but it depends on how busy our schedules are.

Good night blog world! 🙂

Fish City Grill | San Antonio, Texas

Tammy came to visit on the 5th of March and we decided we wanted some crawfish. I was craving some good ole oyster nachos so we headed to Fish City Grill.

Oyster Nachos [tortilla chips with fried oysters, chipotle tartar sauce & topped with fresh pico de gallo]

Mmm … if you aren’t sure of what to get, you have to get these for sure! They are an explosion in your mouth. I get it almost every single time I’m here.

This is the bucket they gave us for our crawfish trash. It smelled really metally.

Here is my 3 lb Crawfish. So delicious! They spice it up really well.

They also give you sides of potatoes and corn but they weren’t seasoned well like the crawfish.

I love this place for oyster nachos. A must try!

For Jane’s birthday she wanted to eat crawfish so on March 4th, we ended up at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen. There was a super long wait and after we got to our table, we were told they sold out of crawfish. Bummer!

Texas Gulf Coast Oysters [on the half shell, dozen] | $9.95

The oysters were so itty-bitty. Not worth the amount I paid.

Fried Soft Shell Crab [2 crabs served with french fries] | $17.95

I was also not a fan of the soft shell crabs. They were too soft to the point where everything was just soggy which made all the fries underneath soggy. I didn’t even eat a third of the fries. Wasted my money.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes | $3.55

Thank goodness I ordered the potatoes. I did have to add a lot of crawfish seasoning to it though.

I am starting to not want to go to Pappadeaux as much as I use to. Always a fail with them lately.

Tokyo One Sushi & Grill Buffet | Houston, Texas

Last night, Mum, June, and I had a feast of seafood as a last dinner with family before heading back to college at Tokyo One Sushi & Grill Buffet. If you love seafood then I’m told this is the place for you. It felt like a waste of money for me though since I’m not a big lover of seafood and buffets. Each person costs $25 on Friday nights.

For ambiance, the tables were very tiny for the three of us. Our plates were hanging off the edge and after trying practically everything they offered I have come to a conclusion that this place is so-so. There was nothing to rave about other than the sea bass. It’s my go to fish now but I’m told it’s super expensive.

Tip: The only way to get ice cream is to ask your server.
