How Was Your Weekend ?

I know it's Wednesday, but I had an awesome weekend, we bar hopped starting with Chi-Cha Lounge on U Street. Chi-Cha has a nice vibe while it's a lounge it has good music and the chicken wings are deliciouso.  After one drink at Chi-Cha we decided to head to Tabaq, where I think we had 6 shots ( don't quote me ) of patron. We then headed to Patty Boom Boom, I've been there before but never on a Friday and I must say thumbs up. The music was pretty good, which is surprising. Anyway enough about my weekend.

How was your weekend?

Restaurant Review: Pho Hiep Hoa Vietnamese restaurant

On Friday my friend came down from Philly and we decided to grab some lunch. We headed to Silver Spring and walked around a bit until we chose the vietnamese restaurant upstairs.

We decided to order shrimp rolls as appetizer, the roll was pretty good, it came with a peanut like sauce. 

For entree, I ordered a Szechuan like dish and my friend ordered a seafood dish that came with fried rice. 

The fried rice was delicious until.... I realized that another animal (insect) had already been dining on the rice....yuck!!!

Very gross, needless to say we didn't pay for that meal, but we were grossed out for the rest of the day. 

My final verdict for Pho Hiep Hoa is the food was decent, but not spectacular, the best part of the meal was ruined by an unclean kitchen. 

What would you have done?

Uhh wah wah you got it going on wah wah.....Lil'Kim's fashion line

Lil' Kim's  fashion line, "24/7 Star Goddess",  the last dress is pretty nice.

What do you think?

Their Eyes Were Watching God- Eatonville, Washington DC

So as you continue to follow the blog you'll notice that I'm a fatty foodie. A lot of my friends are also fatties foodies so we end up eating out a lot.


The other night we ended up at Eatonsville on V and 14th Street. It wasn't a planned thing, we were actually trying to catch the poetry slam at Busboy and tickets were sold out. Everyone was hungry and we didn't want Busboy so we decided to just try Eatonville, which is right across the street and happens to have the same owner as Busboy.


A little background on the themes of both restaurants, well Busboy and Poet is named for Langston Hughes, who was a busboy before he became a famous poet. The rumor is that as he was bussing tables, he showed a publisher/someone with money, some of his poetry and they gave him the nickname busboy and poet. (Don't quote me on that)


Eatonville is named for city where Zora Neale Hurston's book Their Eyes Were Watching God was set. Langston and Zora were said to be friends and they wrote a stage play together, they had a falling out and never spoke to each other again. Well this is the owner's way of reuniting them (the waiter told us).


Now back to the restaurant:
As we entered the restaurant the dinning area was splendid, the art on the walls were beautiful. The hostess was such a sweetheart, after she sat us the waiter came by and gave us the whole spiel about the restaurant. I thought that was interesting.

I ordered the ginger lemonade and another friend ordered the lavender, which were both nice. The ginger lemonade had pieces of fresh ginger in it and the lavender had lavender seeds (I think) in it.


For entree I ordered the fried chicken, collard greens and macaroni and cheese (wanted to be safe), my friends had the lamb (which was splendid), the catfish and grits (was recommended but wasn't that great), and the special which was steak, mashed potatoes and veggies.  Everything was good, we actually ate off each other's plate.  The portions were so big we actually didn't have room for dessert. 

Thanks Sami!                                                  

We also forgot to take pictures, so I had to pull this from another website....

Introductions

Hello all, My name is Tammy Salome, for the purpose of the blog ( it's actually my name but not in that exact order). First blog entry, I was actually supposed to be doing this blog on the beach in Miami ( I lived in Miami for the last 10 months) but that never happened, I was never motivated enough to actually attempt making a post. 

Well here I am,  back in Washington, DC, where there are no beaches and winter is serious ( as in freezing my toes off and having to actually wear clothes to bed), surprisingly I'm relieved. 

I really missed  DC, the city is small but vibrant, so much to do. Being away has actually pushed me to want to experience it a lot more, now that I've returned. 

This blog will essentially be a look into my DC experience, maybe a little dating (who knows), a tinge of fashion and a drop of culture. Some days it will just be interesting things I want to share, I don't want to tie it down to one specific theme so as I progress, I'm sure it will evolve. 

Well, I don't want to bore you already it's 3:48am. I'm actually not tired, but I think I should be heading to bed. I have a potential job lead tomorrow, wish me luck.
