Good Food weekend

Friday night we went for dinner to a Malaysian joint called "Banana leaf". It was the first time I was going to eat Malaysian, so you can imagine my excitement, especially since we are talking food! This place is very popular and the crowd waiting for a table proved it, ambience - dim lit with good art work on the walls can be unnoticable since its nosiy in there! Prathas as starters and Pad thai noodles were too good! Chocolate mousse was amazing as ever , though i did try the fried banana with icecream which was pretty cool.

Saturday morning I equipped myself with a driving permit after giving in a written test.So all I now need is good confidence on the roads here before i take an appointment for driving test.Anyways, that evening after a lot of cleaning, laundry and sleep, we decided to go for dinner n watch a movie.So this time dinner is Italian at DiCicco's- romantic place that believed in Retro music and native italian dishes. We had Bruschetta to start with and based on my hubby's suggestion I tried Eggplant parmasan with marinara sauce with pasta and it was soooooo good!So after that stuffing, we went for a movie at AMC - watched 1408 based on Stephen King's writing - thriller based movie starrting John Cusack and Samuel L.Jackson.

Sunday morning was late but we were invited to lunch at a friend's place - tasteful homemade Indian lunch. Evening we had some guests over like a Pot luck -we made snacks and so did thy, hence ended up having an early dinner!

Whoa! I am stuffed after a weekend...i feel I have already eaten for 2 extra days!!!
I cant recollect having so much of good food in a single weekend....
