Trippin': Dallas - Sushi Sake

2150 N Collins Blvd
Richardson, TX 75080

Southwest Airlines was having this double credit rewards promotion thing and since big poppa was going away for a bachey, and I needed exactly two round trips for my free flight (finally!), I was like, dood, I'm going to Dallas. My reasons were threefold. One-fold: It was one of the cheaper destinations. Two-fold: Wonder Woman would be coming with me. Three-fold: I wanted to go to the State Fair. In the three years that I would go to Dallas to visit big poppa, for some reason, we never went to the state fair. When we got in on Friday night, Wonder Woman had a friend who was having a birthday dinner at Sushi Sake in Richardson. So I tagged along and invited two friends who live in the area. I think decor wise, this is one of the best. It wasn't overly modern and froufrou. It has this very cool yet authentic vibe to it. All the sushi chefs are Asian. I can't say exactly if they were Japanese or not. In the very back, there's super tranquil room that offers Japanese style dining tables. As for the food, they keep everything very simple. The menu is short and sweet and offers very basic sushi restaurant stuff. It was mos def perfect for me.

And for dessert, we went back to flower child's place where she had made us some super good flan. Some of the best flan I've had in a long time!

Pacman flan.

Event: Greek Festival

Opa! I finally went to the Greek Festival. I think the last time I went was in middle school or something and it was a school trip. I had a good time but the only thing I wish they had was more savory food. I went there super hungry but the only thing I had that was me friendly were these pizzas and they were ok. If I were a beef eater, I would have hundreds of beef souvlaki's at my disposal but it is what it is. At least my company all enjoyed their souvlaki's. We also tried all sorts of other goodies. We had so much sweet stuff that I was feeling kinda sick towards the end of the night. Spanakopita's, baklava's, kourambiedes's, finikia's and loukoumades's. The most enjoyable thing of the night was mos def the folk dance program, surprisingly enough. The dancing and the music was just so much fun that it put everyone in a happy mood. The first dance number was the BEST. I liked it so much that I would love to do it at my wedding or something. Haha! Imagine that. A Greek routine at a Viet/Chinese wedding. Hah! I know. Shame on me for mentioning the "W" word. They also showed a hilarious pre-taped, Star Trek inspired segment. And without confirming this with an actual Greek person, Opa! translates to something like Yeah!
