I stopped by Patisserie Jungle Cafe for a birthday cake. They're my favorite Vietnamese French bakery. Once located in a crappy strip center, they've recently moved into new digs with fancy counters and marble floors. Seems like every time I visit Houston, Bellaire Chinatown expands a block further West. New restaurants, new shopping centers, new banks. You would think they'd run out of Asian patrons who are hungry or have personal banking needs. I guess not.
Birthday dinner was at Korea Garden, which specializes in Korean barbecue. The food is good, but the aroma of barbecue stays with you long after you've left.
Later that night I had a chance to catch up with Ron and June at The Tasting Room in Uptown Park. Ron got engaged recently (no, not to June - that would be awkward) and still looks happy.
I also managed to catch a couple of films this weekend - Adam and Up in the Air. Neither film ended the way I thought they would. Which is good - I hate predictable films.
Adam is about a guy with Asperger syndrome trying to have a relationship. Up in the Air is about George Clooney trying to have a relationship. Yeah, it's a toss-up as to which is harder to believe. Still, I enjoyed both films. Check em out if you get the chance.
