my little obsession (this is our 100th post!)

(I apologise in advance for my excessive use of exclamation marks!)

Our adventures with my mom and Karen continued in Bangkok where we had the most incredddddible dinner! I had seen Bo.lan on Bourdain "No Reservations" and then read about it in our guidebook - so was more than a little EXCITED to actually eat there (Note: I've come to the realization that I have a tiny obsession with food). Having Bo actually serve our "pre-dessert" was like meeting a celebrity! We all had the "Bo.lan balance" which was made up of 14 Thai dishes. Despite the spiciest soup we've ever had (Ari said " it's like swallowing razor blades") and some sweets that were questionably soap-flavoured, everything was amazing!!!!!
