It's Friday and it was time to unwind after a hectic week at school and work, we went to dinner at Pattaya Thai Grille - a local restaurant. The place was nice - Buddha heads on red walls, black granite tables, open kitchen concept - the place was cozy.

We ordered Golden Squares for appetizer. Crisp fried firm tofu on top of bed of greens and shredded carrots. Served with sweet chili cucumber salad and a peanut sauce.

For main course, we had Padt Kee Mau and Red Beef Curry.

Padt Kee Mau is the spicy version of Pad Thai with hot basil, chili and garlic. It is also known as Drunken Noodles.

We ordered the Red Curry hot thinking of how it was in previous experiences. And woooh! It was really hot! That didn't stop us from eating it though as the coconut milk based curry sauce was just divine. It was served with Jasmine brown rice.

And for dessert, we had to taste their Crunch Wrapped Bananas. Coconut ice-cream drizzled with chocolate sauce, topped with Kiwi and peanuts and surrounded by crunchy rice shell wrapped bananas with honey and sesame seeds.

It was a good dinner and another Thai restarant added to our lists of "palate" places.

Enjoy your memorial day weekend lovelies!

Look: Black and White

what I am wearing:
double breasted swing jacket: Anthropologie
black.white striped tank: Banana Republic
jeans: Paige (seen here)
patent flats: Bally (Styleflex)
plaid bag: Ralph Lauren
accessories: silver mini hoop earrings, multiple silver bangles, black bangles and cuff (also here)

The following picture is my failed attempt not to smile =)

I am not a big fan of the swing jacket but I love the girlie silhouette and the rolled puff sleeves of this one. It is made of cotton too which made it perfect for spring.

These Bally flats are one of the most comfortable patents I own. They are so soft and so flexible. You can never go wrong with their shoes in terms of comfort. The styles are a little more conservative but they are coming up with really good designs now. Just look at this one that I am drooling over. I remember back when I got my first salary from my very first job, I spent most of it buying gifts for my parents. The gift I got my dad was a pair of Bally shoes =) .

I also toyed with the idea of combining the stripes with plaid thus the bag. This is probably considered vintage now since I do not see RL making this old signature pattern of his. Plus I like its boxy shape so I kept it all these years.

Finals is next week and I have a lot of studying to do. So, I volunteered (ha ha) my sister Coco to do the post for me. She's more than just a fashionista she's also an amazing writer! ( She reads my blog so I'm hoping that was enough to convince her to do it ;-) ). As my 3 year old nephew puts it when he wants something - "Love you Coco!"

I am also dreaming of Cabo right now (blogged about it here) and the Bahamas Cruise. Unfortunately, it will have to wait until after summer. I also feel guilty spending in this economy specially with no clear picture of when it will recover. Knowing that a lot of people out there are penny-pinching does not help me get in the mood either. As the old saying goes, save up for the rainy day.

What about you lovelies? What are you doing this weekend? Have you started planning your summer vacation? Would you rather save up or go?

I hope you're having a great week lovelies!
