Mo Mong Restaurant

Fried Rice (the restaurant lights are dim)

Red Curry Shrimp

Hollywood Video

Last friday night, we decided to have chinese food around our place. Called a cab and the taxi driver suggested Mo Mong Restaurant at Montrose. When we walked in the place, I can smell the great aroma coming out from the kitchen. Finally something asian, the food should be good. The menu has a variety of asian food including Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai & Malaysian. We ordered Spring Roll for apetizers, I ordered Red Curry Shrimp & he ordered Fried Rice while Sageetha ordered Curry Chicken Rice. The spring roll is not good as it is steamed and not fried. However, the shrimp & fried rice is very delicious. I enjoyed that meal very much. There’s many shops & restaurants at Montrose. Right beside Mo Mong is Hollywood Video, they sell & rent out DVD, VHS & video games. Quite a lot of titles & varieties there. They only sell video games & not pc games tho. After a while, our taxi came & we went back.

Houston Visitor Centre

Bayou City Art Festival

Theater District

On Saturday morning, we went to Houston Visitor Centre. We found out that Bayou City Art Festival is on that day. We went pass the festival as it is not opened yet & went to the visitor centre. There are many flyers & booklets of tourist attractions & souveniers in the centre. We found a great savings book for houston attractions, would be useful later. After we’re done, the art festival is opened, we had a quick look & went out. We walked around the theater district, saw the Houston Symphony & Houston Ballet. Nice places.

Dippin’ Dots

Dippin’ Dots Ice Cream

After that, we went to Downtown Aquarium. The usual fish & sea life, quite fun. At last we saw 2 beautiful white tigers of the maharaja temple, really stunning. Got hungry & took our lunch at Aquarium Restaurant. We just got a coupon from the savings book just now, free apetizers with main entree. How nice is that? We ordered Marlin fish which is the main entree of the day & had fried calamari for free. Really yummy… Had Raspberry Quince from The Republic of Tea for drinks. We couldn’t finish the meal so we had the rest packed. There are some rides outside the aquarium. Saw Dippin’ Dots ice cream & bought one to try. Quite interesting.

Dylan’s Candy Bar

Abercrombie & Fitch

Saks Fifth Avenue

Nordstrom

Dinner

Then we took a cab to Galleria, shopped around a few shops. Saw this cute candy shop called Dylan’s Candy Bar, went to a few departmental stores but the prices are just too expensive. Managed to buy a baby-t from Abercrombie & Fitch and a boho dress from Wet Seal. Went to Gap & Express, they were on a huge sale but I din really saw something I like so din buy anything from them. Very tired at the end of the day, so we bought dinner from a chinese stall at ground floor of galleria & went back home.
