peek a boo where are you

Since my last update, we've discovered the wonders of the Washington D.C area & tried some really great restaurants. The Washington that Tabbert remembers in his youth is a far cry from what it is now. He kept telling me there really isn't much to do around the area. It was only during one of the family dinners, that his very hip & happening cousin, Erica told me all about the great food & things to do around the area. So off we went on an expedition to rediscover the Washington area. We explored the neighbourhood of his old graduate school, Georgetown with all these quaint brownstone homes, checked out the cherry blossoms that lines the tidal basin in the Capital, and basked in the old charm of Alexandria. We also came across a pretty good Malaysian restaurant, "Kopitiam" much to my surprise. There really isn't that many M'sians around the neighbourhood, maybe just a handful of Singaporeans. (let's face it, Singaporeans don't actually have their own food, they just adopted M'sian food as their own). In addition to that, Tabbert has quite a lot of relatives & family friends that just wants to feed us, so we've had all kinds of chinese cuisine, ranging from cantonese to szechuan to shanghanese (yes, they are all very different). French food is also a very popular fare with Tabbert's parents so we've been dining on foie gras and escargot too. Dare i say it, i think i'm sick of dining out.
