After vacation, I was thinking that I need to get off the drink. So I'm IMing with a friend yesterday and I told her that I'm going to stop drinking or at least try to slow it down. Why lie or fool myself. Last night I was out at Buddakan for dinner. Soon as I arrived, I went to the bar and my first drink wasn't a lime soda, but their "Classic" whisky drink. Damn. I'm either weak or I'm simply in denial. Ugh! I hate this about myself.
Well, dinner was pretty good. I like the original Buddakan in Philly and I've recently warmed up to the Baddakan in NYC. The inside decor is pretty cool with the long shared table. It was hoppin' for a Monday night. Our party was fairly large, so we asked the waiter to order everything for us. We started off immediately with the edamame dumplings which is their special - a definite must eat. We ate other yummy appetizers: Hoisin Glazed Pork Belly (yum!) and Taro Puff lollipops. Before we even got to the main entrees, I was almost full from the Boneless Spare Ribs and Chili Rock Shrimp. I was trying to pace myself. I love Asian food because of all the sampling you can eat. The main entree was the Szechuan Ribeye, Charred Filet of Beef, Glazed Alaskan Black Cod and the hard to eat Crispy Dungeness Crab. I finished off dinner with the Crying Chocolate and Chocolate peanut butter bombe with a glass of Macallan 18. I went home very satisfied but exhausted. Yesterday was so tiring at work and to finish it off with a full meal just put me straight to bed. I barely woke up this morning.
