*Super pic heavy!*
Back to the mall for Day 2 of Valentines Day Weekend
My bf took me to the Dallas version of The Oceanaire (there is also a restaurant in the Houston Galleria - we went there for our 1 year anniversary!)
It's a kind of fancy "seafood room" which supports *sustainable* seafood, which is nice :)
They had a special 4-course Valentines Day meal! Time to get my NOM on!
Appetizer - "I love you Foie ever!" I have NEVER tried foie gras before. Duck/Goose liver seems a little intimidating, but it was actually REALLY GOOD. It is mildly flavored and creamy. If I wasn't any the wiser, I might have mistook it for CHEESE...and I love cheese. Soooo good with the balsamic "caviar", toast points (why does fancy food have to have crazy names?) pistachio butter, and grapes!
Appetizer #2 - Hawaiian style Ahi poke on nori/wakame crips w/ seaweed salad. Fresh, delicious, tuna - but SAD, they failed to mention this dish contained CILANTRO. I HATE cilantro. I swear it tastes like dish soap! Whhhhyyyy???
Soup/Salad - "Strawberry Fields Forever" - Mmmmm...who can resist goat cheese, fresh sweet strawberries, spring mix salad & champagne vinagrette? Light & tangy! A+++++
Entre - They had all types of cute names on the menu for all the dishes -- this one was called "Oh Honey" and was delicious black cod doused in honey soy & lemon ginger butter! It was sooooo soft and buttery -- and there was so freaking much of it!!! I never have gotten so full off of tasty fancy food, the portions are usually miniscule!!!
Dessert - Chunky munky Creme brulee, Puff pastry w/ Strawberries & Grand Marnier, and a rich chocolate truffle cake with raspberry creme anglaise. It sounded soooo good, but it was actually a little disappointing. My boyfriend thought the Raspberry creme anglaise around the chocolate cake looked like a large intestine - How am I supposed to eat after that??? >:(
After dinner, we had to 'walk things off' -- the mall was closed, but it was still so fun to wander around! Felt like we had the whole mall to ourselves...Earlier that day, Darren was scoping things out and noticed all these bodyguards outside of Footlocker so I'm guessing there were some NBA 'celebrities' here after all!
Louis Vuitton had a small tribute to "NBA All Star Weekend!"
I ♥ Juicy Couture -- but good to honest, their stuff is rather overpriced...but everything is super girly and pink and sparkly... *sigh*
***
Today I went to the imposing courthouse above for JURY DUTY. Reported at 8:30am to do my civic duty - they were scaring us with reports that some of the trials could involve the Death Penalty (Texas!!!) or cases involving billions! O_O It must be my lucky day because my name wasn't called & I was let out early!!!! *big sigh of relief* No more worries for the next 3 years!!!
** -- Hope my luck continues -- **
Nikki is sponsoring a B.B. Cream Giveaway! I've actually been curious about this Korean BB cream craze, I've heard a lot about it from my co-workers & now here in blogworld!
Check it out & Good luck!
