ACL 2015

Another year, another year at ACL. Once again the first weekend is the weekend I am going too. I don't know how many years in a row I've been going to ACL but each year has been fantastic. 

If you've never been to a music festival before, this is one that you have to attend because it's done right. I'll be posting about Fuji Rock later. If music is your thing, ACL is a must do!

Ottawa - Ichido Ramen

Going to back to my high school days and well into college, ramen has always been a comfort food and something that can be had when wanting something fast and easy. 

After going to a ramen place in Tokyo, the bar for good ramen is set very high. 

I'll be posting about my trip to Japan later! 

Back to Ichido... The ramen is above average. The broth is big part of ramen. For me it is at least. Their broth isn't watery. The meat was a little dry for my liking but adequate. 

I've been here for lunch several times and have ordered the bowl dishes. These are the "don" dishes on the menu. They are probably a better choice if your not interested in ramen. 

I have no issues coming back here. 

Thai Express - Ottawa Canada

Yeah... I know. Express? 

It's actually pretty good. At some point, I'm gonna take a pic on how it's made. Although it's fast, it's actually really good. It says a lot when there is always a line during lunch. 

Today I ordered Beef Pad Thai. I'm well versed in chop trickery so no fork will be used. 

Thai express is a chain. If you don't know about downtown Ottawa, a lot of buildings have food courts at the ground level. In the winter time, no one wants to go outside so they just go to the food court. I am working at the World Exchange Plaza, and there is a Thai express in the building. 

I highly recommend it at their other locations. Toronto airport has one!!

Cheers! When in Canada, have to be bilingual!!! Amour!! Je T'aime!

Ok for real!! I'm back on this!!

The app has been updated a while now, so I'm really making an excuse. I just realized that I can compose posts all on my phone. I no longer need to use my computer. Sweet!!
