Taco & Fish

Dillards at Houston
Dillards at Houston


Finally, I got the chance to go shopping 2 days ago at Dillards & Galleria Houston. We went to Dillards first as Sageetha’s sister suggests that maybe she could buy a blazer there. The place is something like Parkson and the brands are really expensive. They sell seriously nice evening dress at around USD80. There’s quite a number of designer brands sold there too. We went shopping for clothes & I had a look at the shoes. Quite nice but decided not to buy anything until I had a look at Galleria’s prices.

Galleria Interior

Since we think that the price is slightly too high, we went to Galleria. It’s a nice big mall that has many shops & a few departmental stores including Foley’s, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus & Saks Fifth Avenue. We walked around for a while to check out what’s there & found the directory. William decided to wait for us at fye while we go to New York & company. Turns out that these 2 shops is farthest away from each other. On my way there, I saw that Gap & Express are having 50% sale. But we were in a rush so we went directly to NY & co. That boutique sells office clothes so Sageetha tried out a few blazers while I browse for some tops. After half an hour, Sageetha decided to buy the blazer & I tried a few tops but they were all too big so I end up not buying anything. :(


Houston city at night


Taco Bell set that we ordered

Meet up with him & had dinner. I never tried Taco Bell before and there’s none in aus, so I suggested that for dinner. Saw the Chili’s bar around there as well. Over here, it looks like a regular place just like Taco Bell & Subway whereas in Malaysia, it would have been a place for special occasions. We ordered a set that consists of 2 chicken supreme gorditas & one beef taco with a Coke. Costs around USD6. Quite ok for me. He din like the taco coz it was beef. We both decided that we had enough of Taco Bell already. I think kebab taste much better. I liked the taco skin tho, just like nacho chips. Took a nice photo of Houston city at night too.

The Fish


Chicken Udon


Chicken Teriyaki with Wild Rice

Went to The Fish for dinner yesterday. Jun haan recommended it. Quite a nice place. Quite a variety of food there. Sushi is not the main dish over there tho, it’s those restaurants that serve entrees, main course & desserts. Had some green tea for drinks. We ordered fried Lobster rolls for appetizers. The fillings are great & tasted sweet. For main course, I ordered Chicken Teriyaki with Wild Rice while he ordered Chicken Udon. Enjoyed the teriyaki, the udon was quite ok. That meals costs us around USD15 each including tips. Quite a good meal indeed. :)
