Friday: Left work early (@4:30pm) picked up the wife and went to Cafe Driad. A strange little coffee cafe in the woods on Franklin St. - a very Chapel Hill place. After Cafe Driad got in the car and it drove us towards Durham 9th St... since discovering a new route to get to Magnolia Grill it's become very easy to drive the car to Durham - before this new route going to Durham was a dread. Getting lost in Durham you can quickly end up on the wrong side of the tracks.
No we didn't go to Magnolia Grill again - yes it would be nice but can't afford it. We ended instead accross the street from Magnolia at a Mongolian Barbecue called Bali Hai. It's ok for a Mongolian barbecue - unlike other Mogonlian Barbecues where you are responsible for the whole thing this place has 3 premade sauces you can choose from and you only get 1 bowl instead of unlimited bowls :(... not a bad thing for your health. The food was Yummy! After Bali hai we decided to walk off the mean and sauntered down 9th St... an interesting place of odd eateries. One of my favourite burger joints - Dains. No we didn't eat here. Instead we drove over to Brightleaf Square which is a few blocks down on the other side of the Duke Campus. There we danced to a live band, walked around did some people watching and called it a night!
Saturday was a lazy day didn't do much in regards to food or entertainment. Went had good egg curry at a friends place, not much else.
Sunday went to Merlion for lunch - a good standby. Can always go in with the expectation of excellent food. I had Beef Horfun and the wife had MeeGoreng.
Came home and decided to spend the afternoon by cooking up a new chicken curry posted below.
For the night we've bought some really nice Salmon from Fresh market - looking forward to a good wine and some excellent Salmon cooked by the wife.
