Khao San Road

Last week, I had dinner at Khao San Road with a couple of friends. As I was impatiently waiting for my friends to arrive, I read the National Post's review of the restaurant because a friend told me that they gave mixed reviews. I definitely started to feel skeptical about the food, but decided to order a few dishes that Gina Mallet recommended to see for myself. We ordered the Pad Thai, Gaeng Massaman and Khao Soi.



We had high expectations for the Pad Thai and we were very disappointed. It was definitely too sweet and needed more chili spice to balance out the dish.



The Gaeng Massaman was also a disappointment. The flavours were all too familiar and it tasted like most Thai curries.



The Khao Soi was highly recommended by Mallet, so we had to order it. This dish was the highlight of our evening and it definitely made up for the disappointing Pad Thai. The coconut curry soup was so delicious we drank every last drop. I highly recommend this dish.



For our appetizer, we ordered Tao Hoo Taud Samoon Prai (fried garlic tofu). This was very delicious and unique because they used a firm tofu instead of the conventional soft tofu. I loved the meaty texture of the firm tofu and the spicy dipping sauce.

My rating: ***

I am currently obsessed with Equipment blouses. I especially love the pale pink and orange combination. I think my Joe Fresh blouse from last year will help me achieve this look.

For some of us who love the colour blocking trend, but are not as daring. Pairing a neutral with a bright colour is more subtle yet chic at the same time. I absolutely love the grey and bright orange combination.

Dinner Parties

I hosted Taco Night at my place this weekend and this picture pretty much explains how passionate we are about these themed dinner parties. Stay tuned, a Surf 'n' Turf dinner party is next on our list.

New York City

As I was sitting at desk reminiscing over my New York album, I had the sudden urge to write a post about my epic trip back in September. A few months ago, I travelled to New York City with my six of my closest girlfriends to celebrate our birthdays (four birthdays to be exact!). It was a short weekend, but we obviously made lots of time for shopping and some good eats.

Warning: Do not look at these picture if you are hungry. I am not kidding!


Pulled Pork Sliders at Byrant Park Grill


Caprese Salad at Bryant Park Grill


Avocado Sandwich at Bryant Park Grill. Just want to note that this is no ordinary sandwich. The red pepper relish is really special.


Here is a better view of this deliciousness. Loads of avocado combined with the red pepper relish, party in my mouth.


Blackberry lemonade at Cafeteria.


The Mac Attack at Cafeteria. A delicious trio of mac 'n' cheese.


P.E.I Mussels at Cafeteria. We ended up drinking the white wine broth, just saying.


Cobb Salad at Cafeteria.


Our table. I just wanted to note that I can only be friends with girls who actually eat.


Last meal in NYC, Eggs Normandy at Cafe Mogador. Hands down the best eggs Normandy I have ever had. I believe they smoke their own salmon.

There are more pictures, but unfortunately some of the pictures did not turn out very well. The first night we were there we had dinner at Morimoto (Iron Chef Morimoto's restaurant) and the food was great. We ordered this delicious foie gras dish, scallops, European sea bass and cod. For my birthday dinner, we went to Palma and it is this cute Italian restaurant. I honestly felt like I was transported to Tuscany for the evening. We ordered Caprese salad, Spaghetti alle Vongole, and Ravioli stuffed with kale and mushrooms.
