Life’n'Such - To Good friends, good food and a good life!

Abra-ca-dabra!

I did a disappearing act again! Well, lots of things have happened in the past few weeks, my neice and sister in law came to visit us, then we went to Texas, met some of Yasir’s friends, then went to Detroit to bid farewell to some dear friends.
We ate out in amazing places while traveling, forgot the names of some restaurants. But I can recommend some awesome places to get good good food, especially if you are a foodie like moi!
In Dallas (Texas) we ate chicken wraps (I thought that was very unique). It was lettuce, and chutney spread with boneless tandoori bits wrapped up in a really fresh out of the oven naans (hmmm…yumm!)
Then ate Indian chinese food in another restaurant.

Then we went to Austin. One night we were treated to Italian food, I think the restaurant name was ‘Vespaio’ (Its located on Congress avenue) a couple miles from Downtown Austin. Since I didnt have much choices, I settled for a flat pasta topped with cheese and pesto sauce. It was very delicious! A huge plate, very satisfying. Only if they had some vegetables or anything on the side, cos it was just pasta, pasta and some more pasta.
Then the next day, after I had researched every restaurant in Austin, we decided to go to Clay Pit, it is an Indian restaurant, which was bought over by its head chef Mr. Singh about 9 months back. Me and Yasir are very picky and critical when it comes to Food. But we have only good things to say about this restaurant, not only was the food the best Indian food I have eaten in United States, also they serve halal goat meat. And the recipes are very unique. If I could rate this restaurant, I would put 5 stars! If ever you are in Austin, I highly recommend that you have at least one meal here. They have a restaurant in Dallas too.
