Weekly Wanderings {2016 week 31}

This week in my world…

… we discovered a new restaurant with a very interesting name

Sushi Day restaurant

But we were really there for Thai food. Our favorite.

Kabocha and eggplant stir-fry

The kabocha and eggplant stir-fry is an old stand-by. The prik king is new – and a new favorite!

Must-try things at this weekend’s Taste of Japan festival at @mitsuwa_marketplace: the negiyaki, the black sesame ice cream, and (most of all) the *roasted* green tea ice cream. SO. GOOD.

Negiyaki and yakisoba

That negiyaki was pretty tasty too.

There are many “bosses” I’ve had to defeat in my years of eating Vietnamese food: the fish sauce boss, durian boss, cilantro, rau răm… this week I beat the biggest boss of all – I finally ate an entire blood cube… and it wasn’t bad at all!
