“Black and White Rum” Cedar Park, 2019
Black and white rum? No, the rum is a golden amber, but the photo is black and white. 😄 Cheers!

It’s been maybe half a year since we’ve had dim sum, so I was excited to feast at New Fortune with good friends. We had most of the usual types, but what made today’s meal special is that I tried tripe, which may have been my first time. It actually was pretty good! But honestly, with so many other options available, I don’t think I will have it again, or at least order it on my own.
I like New Fortune not only because the food is delicious, but it also reminds me of the Chinese restaurants I used to eat at in Monterey Park. The restaurant is basically one huge room which can also be used for banquets or wedding receptions. It’s so typically Chinese, I love it!

I hope you had a great day!

こんばんは。How’s it going?
Today Bay and I attended an event organized by the Rice University Alumni for the incoming students from the Austin area. It was a meet-and-greet for the students, parents, Alumni volunteers and also current Rice student volunteers. I didn’t know what to expect, but it was really informative, especially because I sat at a table with a current student who answered a bunch of questions about dorm life. Bay sat with other rising freshman and got to exchange contact info with a couple of them.
I’ve been really happy with the outreach that Rice has extended to all the incoming students. Everyone is so friendly and they talk often about how supportive the Rice community is. From what I’ve seen so far, it’s all true! We’re so happy that Bay is going to Rice. Not only is the Rice Architecture program ranked near the top year after year, but the community and college (dorms) system seem excellent.
As for today’s event venue, it was held at Hula Hut and a full fajita spread was available. It was yummy! I didn’t take a photo of it, which is probably for the best. The amount of guac I ate was a little embarrassing. 😆

I hope you had a nice day!

Mmmm mmmm good. And we’re Asian-American, so we had our pot roast with steamed rice. 😆 Come to think of it, this dish is a lot like nikujaga 肉じゃが.
Hope you had a nice day!
