Sushi

I haven't had sushi in such a long time due to personal reasons and also not being anywhere near great sushi restaurants. So last weekend when Hubby and I went on our Costco run in Austin, I chose sushi as our lunch date. Hubby found a sushi restaurant called Hanabi via Yelp. It was close to the Costco we shop at and it received good reviews, so a win-win for us.

We ordered 3 rolls: The Black Widow~ crab delight, cooked shrimp topped with spicy tuna, sliced avocado, spicy mayo, and black tobiko. Hungry~ albacore tuna, cilantro, avocado topped with tuna, escolar, salmon and miso sauce, ume salt. And our favorite traditional sushi Spicy Tuna. I also ordered an appetizer of Edamame and since Hubby was still hungry he ordered a beef teriyaki bento box.

I didn't get a picture of Hubby's Bento Box because I was too busy enjoying the sushi and Edamame. This restaurant is legit. Hubby and I may just return to Hanabi again before we leave for our next pcs in a few months. 

San Antonio

While in San Antonio this past weekend for a little getaway, Hubby and I did the typical touristy things: visit Alamo, walked around the Riverwalk, and visited the 4 Missions.

The first night in San Antonio, we ate at Grimaldi's Pizzeria. Grimaldi's in my opinion has one of the best pizzas I've ever had (ask me again in about a year and this might change after living in Italy). Hubby and I shared a large pepperoni, mushroom and basil pizza with a mediterranian salad. I, of course forgot to take a picture of the pizza because I was too hungry. Just dove right in like a little piggy.

The following day, Hubby and I met up with his old Army brother who now resides in San Antonio. We ate Indian food which was oh-so-delicious. And again, I forgot to take pictures of the food. You can tell that this was an authentic Indian restaurant because 98% of the patrons inside who were eating were Indian and the employees were all Indian. This my second time eating Indian food ever. The first was in South Korea of all places. And the food there too was delicious.

For dinner that night, Hubby and I ate Thai food at a restaurant called Sawasdee Thai. We had a long, tiring day and wanted to eat somewhere close to our hotel and I wanted Thai so we yelped and found this place. The food here was good, but I've had better Thai food in San Diego. We ordered Pad See Ew with beef, Basil Fried Rice with seafood combination, and Sweet n' Sour Fried Trout which was by far my favorite of the night.

Hubby's Thai Iced Tea was gigantic in comparison to my ice water.

Sweet n' Sour Fried Trout was my favorite of the night. It was the perfect size for the both of us. You can tell I get "food happy" when I start bouncing in my seat and humming while I eat. Yeah, I'm weird like that.
