ORANGE?


(Uniqlo top, Zara cardigan, Rock & Republic jeans, Stuart Weitzman flats)

San Francisco with my honey bunny yesterday! It was an ... emotional day for the both of us, to say the least. Haha. I made a very "unusual" purchase ... at least for me. If I asked you to guess, you would've never guessed it.



Zara heels

Hahaha, I bought this pair of suede adobe-brick orange colored heels from Zara, which I actually am very in like with. I normally hate anything orange flavored or colored except for the fruit orange, but I really do like these heels! It's the first orange thing I ever owned!!! I also got this awesome striped green drapey cardigan from Zara that I'm wearing!



Pad Thai



Deep Fried Salmon w/ Peanuts & Red Curry

We had lunch at King of Thai Noodle House, which is a pretty large Thai chain in San Francisco. Wendy ordered the pad thai and I ordered the deep fried salmon topped with peanuts and red curry. 's alright, maybe it was because we didn't have much of an appetite.

Pockets!?


(Alice + Olivia dress, Forever 21 headband & cardigan, H&M tights, Stuart Weitzman flats)

I've worn this dress a couple times already, and barely now did I realize that it has pockets!! WHATTTT. The pockets just make me love this dress even more!


Speaking of dresses, I am currently infatuated with this Alexander Wang Batwing Dress, which I'm contemplating on.

Happy 4th!

It's the 4th of July already; everything's just breezing by! It'll be a year soon at S_ where I work... wow.

Hahha, well, this post has been long past due (intended to blog on Monday) because I've been meaning to blog about my experience at Boiling Crab after all the hype I've been hearing about this place and my WDYWT (it's about time I had one of these, huh, haha) to watch the Proposal.

As for Boiling Crab ... ehhhh ... it was okay, I wouldn't say that it was terribly bad... but I wouldn't would say that it was extremely good either. We ordered...


Sweet Potato Fries


Fried Oysters


1 lb of Medium (Spicy level) Shrimp in the Whole Sha-Bang Sauce


1 Medium (Spicy level) Dungeness Crab in the Whole Sha-Bang Sauce



I loved the sweet potato fries! Well, I like sweet potato fries anywhere, hahaha, so that's no biggie there. I accidentally knocked our sauce off the basket and almost knocked all of our oysters out too when I lifted up my arm without noticing the waiter right next to me. Hahahah. The sauce was actually pretty spicy, but it was gosh darn good! Shrimp & crab were alright, you can taste the sha-bang sauce on the outside, but once you peel off the shells, the meat inside tastes pretty much as is without the sauce. Overrall, it was pretty good ... until we ordered the dungeness crab, that was pretty pricey. Haha, it's fun if you don't mind looking at cooked underwater creatures .... head and bodies and everything, and getting dirty with your hands. I wouldn't say it's a place that gets you very full though, more like a place for you to snack on and watch all the flat screen TV's they have up. Service wasn't too bad for us, they were pretty attentive even when we were in a corner. I didn't like having to pay 25 cents for a cup of tap water though. It ended up being about $20 per person (for a party of 3 with what we ordered), which was a bit pricey for what we ate & for college students... but ... because of the crab!!! Hahah. It's okay, I might try Boiling Crab again.


OH! And in case you were wondering what that whole reddish-oily looking mess is, that is the Whole Sha-Bang sauce which consists of ... Rajun cajun, lemon pepper, and garlic butter all together! I won't lie... it was pretty oily and I felt a bit of my arteries clog from this, haha. It's pretty tasty though. Everything is also served in plastic bags/baskets!

Anddd my WDYWT to the Proposal! It was funny, but not as funny as people have told me. I liked the storyline and I couldn't stop staring at Sandra Bullock's Christian Louboutin heels!! ... I've been wearing these Dolce Vita sandals nonstop, you're probably tired of them, haha.

OH OH OH, and we went out for some Hello Dessert too! MY FAVORITE. Mango Moo for BBFWENDY and Willow Nectar for ME. c:

Saigon Kitchen



Bo Luc Lac



Some pickled side dishes and veggies to wrap with.


My favorite! Banh Xeo!!!



Shrimp meat on those sugarcane sticks.

(Sorry for the crappy photos --- bad lighting too! ---, I was in such a rush to take pictures before everyone took a stab at everything! No time for flamboyancy.)

I was working at the registers as usual and the phone rang. I picked up and said my usual line, "Hai, thank you for calling S_, this is Carena, how may I assist you!?" And surprisingly, my mom was on the other end imitating my voice. Hahaha. She told me that we had relatives over from Reno and that we were going to go to Saigon Kitchen tonight, and to leave dinner closed to other personal plans. Hahaha...so Saigon Kitchen was where we went! We went there for last Sunday?'s Father's Day dinner, and quite frequently for other family gatherings. I LOVE their Vietnamese food.

It doesn't look much but we ordered x2 of everything --- flavored rice / meat place + a variety of grilled meats and it comes with a variety of vegetables, that you can put together on like this rice paper thing, and wrap it all up and then dip in some nuoc mam (fish sauce) MMMMM..
