Restaurant: House of Bowls

6650 Corporate Dr
Houston, TX 77036

For mother's day, the fam and I went to eat at the House of Bowls. It was my idea cos someone told me about how good the chicken wings were and someone also told me about some waffle thing with ice-cream and fresh fruits and condensed milk. Whoa! I know it seems like I picked this restaurant for myself but hey, you know what, I don't even miss a beat anymore when it comes down to people not caring or knowing where they want to go eat. You don't know? You don't care? Okay then. This is where we're going. Hah. The place serves typical Hong Kong style food. And that's the kind of Chinese food I like to eat. None of that mainland weird stuff or that Americanized buffet/pei wei/pf chang's nonsense. The wings that I was supposed to order was salt and pepper wings but I ordered the one with onion and green onion instead. It was still good but not great. We ordered like a gazillion dishes and the bill was still less than a hundred bucks. Can't beat that!

Musik Mundi: Glee

I am a Glee fan. Maybe not a Gleek but definitely a fan. And I love their version of Journey's, Don't Stop Believin'. I can't say I'm much of Journey fan since Don't Stop Believin' is prolly the only song that I really know of theirs.

Trippin': San Antonio - Iron Cactus

For dinner on our second night in San Antonio, we ate at the Iron Cactus off of the riverwalk. There would be a lot of eating on the riverwalk during our stay. I can honestly say I'm pretty tired of the riverwalk. By the second day, I was already sick of Mexican food and all of it's Tex-Mex counterparts even though this was prolly just going to be our second time eating Mexican. However, the fajitas here were pretty darn good. Most of us ordered the fajitas, chicken fajitas for me. Only big poppa opted to get something else. We're both not huge on Mexican food. This couple that we had just met told us to order the Consuelo, which was this massive drink in a bowl that had all kinds citrus in it. It tasted a lot like Trudy's Mexican martini or whatever it's called. After a couple of sips I had a nice but tame little buzz going. Speaking of taming, the riverwalk really needs to enforce some kind of fly repellent system. We spent so much time at a lot of the restaurants constantly swatting flies away and off of our food. Yuck!

Musik Mundi: La Roux

On Sunday, some friends and I went to the La Roux concert at the House of Blues. So awesome! Elly Jackson is a frackin' amazing live performer. All of us had such a good time dancing to the songs. Unfortunately, I decided not to bring the big camera into the concert cos I was afraid that I would get thrown out or my camera could get taken up. But I would never let that happen cos you KNOW I would throw a huge fit and make an avalanche of a commotion if the hands of House of Blues came anywhere near my camera. Miss Fabulous took some group fotos of us and I bugged her about sending them to me. Which is funny cos I get so annoyed when others do that to me. Haha! I really wish I could have taken fotos of Elly doing her thing on stage. I love her dance moves! La Roux started off with my second favo song from their album, Tigerlily and ended with Bulletproof as the encore performance. I worked up a sweat! I've listened to the album before and thought it was okay. Listening to them live made me really really like the album cos they were that good. At one point, La Roux brought up a fan onstage so that everyone could sing happy birthday to her. She took advantage of Elly's kindness by asking to stay on stage and perform a song with her. Someone had to come out to drag her arse off the stage so that La Roux could continue on. Crazy drunkkard. One thing that was no joke were the prices of the drinks at HOB. They have some of the highest prices in Houston that's for sure.
