Blue Ribbon Bakery is a MUST!

I brunched at Blue Ribbon Bakery last weekend in celebration of a friends birthday. I have never been to a restaurant that had its own legitimate bakery on the premises. The smell of all the delicious and freshly baked bread was enough to make me want to go into a full carb attack. And I did. As we waited for our food (I got the amazing steak sandwich, which was cooked to perfection) we got some baskets of this now legendary bread. I could not eat fast enough! I was mad that other people were there at one point because I wanted it all for myself. The waiting staff was also incredibly friendly and made us feel like we owned the place. I recommend you go with a big group of friends and reserve the private table downstairs by the bakery. It will change your life.

Pineapple Fried Rice at Mo-Ra-Kote will get you addicted

I have an addiction and its called Pineapple fried rice. Mo-Ra-Kote is one of the best Thai places out there because the food is fresh, has a very "home made" feeling, and the staff is super friendly. The Pineapple fried rice with shrimp is so amazing that I went back for another round in the same week. You have to go and try this. I also had the delicious curry puffs and the Tom Kha soup. After I got the bill I wrote on the receipt, "This is the best fried rice in the world!".
