In the Best Restaurant Meals series, I curate my most noteworthy nosh from the past week(s) with mobile photos.
After spending 2 months in Austin Texas, I was jonesing for proper Asian food so you will see a theme here. It was nice to be home, despite the gloomy and frigid weather. Good thing the food hit the spot and warmed me right up. Here are some of my most memorable meals.
