Eating Out Alone

2018 | 043/365 | Pho Tau Bay Vietnamese Restaurant | Houston, Texas | Eating Alone

[2018] 043/365: Eating Out Alone

Guys, I did it again! I went out and ate at a restaurant all by myself. The first time I did it was a La Madeline which I actually blogged about!It was two years ago and I still remember that experience.

I was busy running errands all day and decided to grab some food before my appointment at the Subaru Dealership. I chose Pho Tau Bay Vietnamese Restaurant. It was a completely different experience than La Madeline. Here, I didn’t hide behind a book. People were not on their laptops or studying. Here, everyone was eating and talking with their mates.

I was a little weary when I walked in but I persevered and actually enjoyed my meal by myself, without distractions. I saw a guy from Acura eating by his lonesome as well and we exchanged awkward glances. haha

I will say that this isn’t the best pho place, the broth was good but the meat was not up to par nor was the eggrolls. The price was too high for the amount of food and there was a lot of miscommunications.

Subaru Dealership | Kindle and Coffee

I was happy to get through four and a half of my chapters before my car was ready to go. Is it weird that I actually like waiting at the dealership so that I can read? Ever since I got a Kindle, life has been great being able to pull it out whenever I want.  #thanksboyfriend

[2018] 042/365: Lunch Date With My Boo

I met up with Scruffy at The Halal Guys for a late lunch before heading to WalMart to pick up something for Jameel’s birthday. We opted for candy, every little kids favorite and not so much the parents.

After the party, I went home to have dinner with my parents and am now rewatching a TVB series, Tiger Cubs.

Relaxing before bed. #check

Sushi and Fried Foods

Ichiban Sushi & Tapioca | Sugar Land, Texas | Nigiris and Handroll

Scruffy and I woke up and went strolling at the mall before we went to Ichiban Sushi & Tapioca for a light snack. Just a handful of nigiri with a handroll. YUM! Scruffy rarely says, let’s get sushi because it’s so expensive so I jumped at the opportunity when he brought it up.

[2018] 041/365: Fried Foods and Green Beans

We went home for a bit so that he could throw the ball for Luna and I can have some downtime with my Chinese Soaps before we headed for drinks and early dinner at Clancy’s Public House. We both got fried foods but I felt a bit better getting a side of green beans. hehe

This upcoming week is Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year. Eeeep, I’m excited!

2018 | 040/365 | Saeed’s Mediterranean Grill | Houston, Texas | Kefta Kabob Plate

Kefta Kabob Plate [grilled ground beef, onion, parsley, spices and two sides: spicy hummus and eggplant casserole] | $12.99

Met up with my old co-workers today for lunch at Saeed’s Meditteranean Grill and got a free meal from Erin! Thanks, Erin! One of my favourite meals is Mediterranean so I was super excited to stuff my face! I got the eggplant casserole for the first time today and it was THE BOMB. Way better than baba ganoush!

Beans Cafe Coffeehouse | Houston, Texas | Iced Coffee

After many hours with Angie, Erin, and Paola, Juhi and I bid them all farewell since they had to go back to work. Juhi and I went to Beans Cafe Coffeehouse for a long coffee chat and she was nice enough to pay for my coffee. It was nice to talk to her one-on-one. It felt like it was when she was sitting next to me! I’m excited I get to see her again Tuesday night!!

After you spend so much time with them daily and having it taken away in a blink of an eye is tough so I’m glad I got to see them again and catch up with them.

OG Tea | Sugar Land, Texas

The Bagel Cafe | Katy, Texas | Sunrise Bagel

Scruffy was nice enough to go out and grab our breakfast this morning at The Bagel Cafe. This doesn’t look appetizing but it was the best ever. Delicious, homemade bagels, fresh daily. This is a blueberry with sausage, egg, and cheese. Yum!

OG Tea | Sugar Land, Texas | Milk Tea

[2018] 034/365: Milk Tea Goodness

Scruffy left with the pups back home and I ventured out to OG Tea for some me time away from my usual home office. The lady working here is very personable. This place used to be called Rayley but they’ve updated their name and redecorated inside, change of owner I’m sure. It doesn’t look kiddish anymore and it feels comfortable to stay and work. I remember walking into this place when it was still Rayley and there were kids everywhere walking around barefoot. It seems much more classy now.
