| While celebrating Christmas, Deer and I also celebrated our 5-year "meeting" anniversary. We met on 12/23 five years ago. Over the course of the years, we both changed a lot, but these changes only enhanced our relationship for better and stronger. The restaurant we went for our celebration dinner, which in no doubt, is Kaz Bistro, our long-time favorite restaurant. However, I have recently discovered my favorite Spanish Tapa place in DC Georgetown, Bodega. Compared to La Tasca and Jaleo, which we went quiet often, Bodega was very different. The restaurant is small with a lot of interesting decrorations. I was eating while facing a sheep head on the wall the entire time. I ordered a sangria with white wine because I've never had white sangria before - and it was a big mistake. Mental note: always red sangria. I highly recommend the clam soup and meet balls. My favorite of all was the clam. I was so impressed with the rich garlic favor mixed within the buttery and cream soup.
  
  
P.S. My phone doesn't take the best pictures (even the best tasting food look a little disgusting in the pictures). I need to remember to bring the camera with me in the future.

| I was never a big fan of Lebanese food because I don't eat lamb. I'm a food addict, but there are quiet few things I don't eat, such as lamb, onions, scallions.... However, after I went to Me Jana, a Lebanese restaurant located in Arlington, VA, I think I'm hooked. I like everything we ordered that night, because we specifically didn't order lamb. The fried eggplants topped with yogurt were so different from any types of food I had before. I like the crispy-outside-and-soft-inside taste of the eggplants and the yogurt on the top to adds some freshness to the oily fried veggies. I absolutely loved the sautéed shrimp with a garlic flavor and grilled pita bread stuffed with beef. However, I wish the calamari was less oily. Last but not least, I packed all the white bread home (the free starter.haha) - I really like how it's made into a football shape and is completely hollow inside and a little crispy outside.

| A couple months ago, I forced deer to drive to Philly with me. On our way there, we kept on talking about how many philly cheesesteak sandwiches we'd eat and how we should pack some home. Never did I know, I ended craving for a bowl of Pho, some chill sake and a bowl of ice cream - sometimes I crave for things that usually require visiting multiple restaurants. Deer is not a big fan of Pho, but to satisfy my urge, he accompanied and watched me finished a big bowl of it. While walking to search for a place with sake, we realized that we were in philly and should give the famous Morimoto a try.
We walked in the restaurant with jeans and flip-flops while everyone there was totally dressed up. The restaurant was very trendy. I could tell a lot of couples were on their first date by observing the way they talked, the way the girls smiled, the way the guys sat with their back straight. In fact, I didn't feel out of place at all with my under-dressed outfit. However, I did get a few of "what the heck is she wearing" stares. Their sushi were just ordinary, nothing amazing that you won't see in other Japanese restaurant. In fact, you might find the sushi at Kaz Bistro in DC better. However, the fresh eel Nigiri-zushi was phenomenal. I also enjoyed watching our waitor turning soy milk into tofu in front of us. Meanwhile, I'd highly recommend their lobster legs and black sesame ice cream. Their sake was not that impressing. I'd say I had better in NYC.
