Soho and Lan Kwai Fong


We had a great Mexican dinner in Soho (South of Hollywood Blvd, similar to the South of Houston concept in Soho, NYC) at a restaurant called i-Caramba!. I just thought of this now, and they will probably laugh, but I think the restaurant is just called Caramba with the upside down ! before and after it... i-Caramba has a better ring to it anyway.

We each had massive plates of delicioso Mexican food and margaritas. So so good. I cannot emphasize how good Mexican food and margaritas are when you can't have them all the time (like my weekly El Loro trips back home). Also, after experiencing Thai spicy food, I am no longer afraid of spicy Mexican.

After dinner we went to the hot spot Lan Kwai Fong for beers. More great people watching. Even on a Tuesday night it was pretty wild. People leave work and make their way up the Lan Kwai Fong hill stopping at endless bars and restaurants for happy hour, because let's face it, it's better than getting on that crowded train. Before you know it, happy hour drinks can easily turn into an all-night affair in this neighborhood. We took the ferry home and I took another bath and was a happy girl at the end of Day 2.

Haha. This little Mexican restaurant has brought a lot of laughs for this family. Josue found it pretty humorous about the ay vs i caramba. And be careful what you say because I think he wants to test your taste buds once you get home and cook you some spicy Mexican food. He's always looking for victims...
