Cheer Up With Food

Before I talk about the food and refreshments, I just want to say that the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas was AMAZING .  In my opinion,  Insomniac Events planned EDC very well! Keeping hydrated throughout the night was the #1 importance for everyone.  There were free water refill stations and different kinds of bottles/cups to buy inside to refill with it.  Also, s nacking on fruits all night helped me stay hydrated and awake: My water bottle in my favorite color: EDC had foods that you'd typically find at any carnival: Thai food stand: In these row of tents, some sold snack foods and majority sold alcoholic beverages: Overall I was satisfied to see water refill stations and food stands stationed all over the venue... See you again next year EDC! I had a blast!!

Don't be fooled by  Frankie's Tiki Room 's plain exterior, it's interior is quite the opposite inside with tropical decor (as seen in the photo below) and fun vibe! I was impressed by Frankie's  menu 's long list of their own original concoctions, which made it a bit of hard for me to pick a tiki drink, but eventually chose the Kahiki Kai.   I loved the creaminess and blend of the tropical fruit juices in that big goblet: Kahiki Kai-   Coconut rum, banana liqueur, & pineapple juice. At the bottom of each listed drink, there's a certain amount of skulls that represent the level of 'toxicity' of that drink.  My drink was only 2 out of 5 skulls... So if you want to go crazy, get a drink with more than 2 skulls!

Kunchorn, a Thai restaurant, recently opened this month in my neck of the woods and of course I had to check this place out!  After observing the place, it looked like a family owned establishment (?), the tables were nicely spaced out, and I liked the simple decor.  Kunchorn is definitely a place to go to if you want to have a nice, relaxing outing. Shrimp in a Blanket - Whole shrimp inside a crispy  egg roll wrapper w/ Kunchorn sweet and sour sauce. I've never seen egg rolls rolled to the shape of a shrimp.. How creative! Avacado Panang   (spicy)- Tofu (you can choose other meats) with curry paste, coconut milk, avocado, bell pepper & Thai special sauce.  The slices of avocado complicated the creaminess the panang quite well, loved it!

For dinner the fiance and I decided to go to  Sultan's Grill , a small neighborhood restaurant located in  Summerlin .   Upon entering, I heard a customer talking to one of the workers saying how much he loved the food and that he'd come back for sure the next evening for dinner again.  That was a good sign! Then as I was reading the back of the menu, there were rules that this restaurant adhered to such as they don't cook your meal until you order it. I was sold! The food was good as I expected it to be. What I liked about it is that it's spices weren't overpowering like some Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food I've had. In my opinion, the rice was made perfect the evening we went there. I'd come back for the rice everyday if I lived closer to that area! Falafel Combo - A treat for the the vegetarian! Ground chick peas, ground parsley, ground onions and herbs, mixed and fried to a golden brown. Served with tahini sauce (sesame seed oi...

Nurses' Week was a hectic week for me (school wise), just seeing this cake last Friday brightened up my day: Swirls of chocolate and vanilla underneath the frosting: From Wal-Mart
