My food fam and I were treated to an amazing dinner last week at Roka Akor Houston.   Our happy food family.   Check out the menu:   The dinner setting was in the room towards the back of the restaurant.     They were really thoughtful in setting up the tasting.

My babies turned two yesterday, and we celebrated My babies turned two yesterday, and we celebrated with family, good food, and the world’s most famous class pet, Jelly Bean 🐹🎂
The talented @sonojones made the boys’ cake (this is the third cake she’s made for them)! Check out my Stories to see their reaction to Jelly Bean and how we chop her up 🙈 FYI: she was delicious 😋

Cinco de Mayo is around the corner, and Chuy’s h Cinco de Mayo is around the corner, and Chuy’s has the perfect specials to help with your festivities! 🎉

🧺 For your at-home or outdoor picnic celebration on May 5, Chuy’s is offering meal kits and margaritas to-go. You can save $2 off all single-serve to-go margaritas! (Alcohol carryout availability may vary by state).

I ordered at order.chuys.com and got the Combo Fajita Meal Kit for 4, a dozen Flautas, Chuy’s Famous Margarita Kit (includes sour mix, lime, and 375ml Tequila), and two 20oz Frozen Blackberry Grande Margaritas all to go. Pick up was super easy and convenient, and I never left my car.

🍹 If you’re dining in on May 5, Chuy’s has all day specials on their House Ritas, House Texas Martinis, and Domestic Beers. They’ll also offer $1 floaters All Day (top your margarita with extra tequila or liqueur), and you can opt to upgrade your favorite margarita to a GRANDE and keep the souvenir cup!

🎊 Be sure to celebrate your Cinco de Mayo with Chuy’s!
Detroiter Pepperoni pizza from @buddyspizzadet, th Detroiter Pepperoni pizza from @buddyspizzadet, the birthplace of the original Detroit-Style Pizza. Got it shipped via @goldbelly from Detroit, and it arrived in great condition and exceeded all expectations— if it’s this delicious baked from frozen, I can only imagine how good it is dining at one of their restaurants and eating it fresh out of the oven! 🍕🔥
👉🏼Goldbelly offers promotions on their site pretty often (that’s usually when I make a purchase)— I definitely recommend this pizza especially if the site is running any specials!  #notsponsoredbutiwishitwas

Ate at @bemorepacific for the first time a couple Ate at @bemorepacific for the first time a couple weeks ago, and I’m still thinking about their food. Ordered a bunch of stuff off their happy hour menu like their CHICKcharon (super crispy fried chicken skins!), Fried Spam Musubi (they make their spam in-house!), and Shanghai Lumpia (heavenly crunchy fried pork & shrimp spring rolls) 🤤🤤 I also loved the atmosphere out on their patio and will definitely be back soon to try more of their amazing Filipino dishes!

Be More Pacific is a full service restaurant with a full bar, patio, and two karaoke rooms. They serve lunch Tues-Fri at 11am, and they have HH Tues-Fri 3-6pm and ALL DAY WEDNESDAY! Check their IG for late dining, reverse HH, and brunch hours!

NEW(ish) ice cream shop @craftcreameryhtx in Montr NEW(ish) ice cream shop @craftcreameryhtx in Montrose, and they have some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had! Love their unique flavors— they rotate them weekly, but if they have Cacio e Pepe available definitely try it and let me know what you think! My favorites were the Amaretto Cherry and Hibiscus Mint. I was completely blown away with both the intense and subtle flavors in each scoop. The mint in the hibiscus was refreshing without being too strong, and it had a really nice texture. 

A little bit about @craftcreameryhtx: Chef Steve sources his ingredients locally to ensure his ice cream is made only with real and good ingredients (he’s even on a first name basis with the guy who milks the cow)! He’s worked with culinary legends like Eric Ripert and David Chang (he has a small cameo in Ugly Delicious so get his autograph after you get your ice cream 😋)

Check out @craftcreameryhtx this weekend— it’s in the same small shopping strip as JuiceLand in Montrose. I’m excited to go back and try more flavors!
📍: @craftcreameryhtx
🍨: Pistachio, Chocolate, Amaretto Cherry, Hibiscus Mint

🍳🍚🥟 Shaken Beef and Chicken n Green’s Dumplin’s from @wokkerhtx

🍲🍖 The Supreme Bowl (beef rib, oxtail, bone marrow) from @thephofix

Pretty epic lunch. The Birria nachos were probably my favorite out of everything. @birdhaushtx is also a vendor at the food hall, but they weren’t open when I visited (I’ve had their sandwiches before, and they are massively delicious)

What are you getting at Underground Hall?

#takeouttuesday with this incredible spread from @ #takeouttuesday with this incredible spread from @papparich.usa at @bellairefoodstreet in @chinatownhouston 🥡

Honestly loved every dish we ordered, especially their Banana Leaf Stingray— wow!! It was so tender and flavorful. I’ve never had stingray before so didn’t know what to expect, but it was flaky with a nice chew and had a mild scallop taste with zero fishiness. Another favorite was their Nasi Lemak with fried chicken— could not get enough of the jasmine rice infused with coconut milk! 🍚

If you’re in the mood for some fantastic Malaysian food, definitely check out Papparich!

👉🏼 What is takoyaki? It’s a famous Japanese street snack consisting of fried battered balls filled with diced octopus, topped with pickled purple onions, green onions, aoili, tontaksu sauce, and bonito flakes. The balls are chewy and gooey on the inside while crispy on the outside. They are the best kind of balls to pop in your mouth.
