Road Trip to Houston

I had planned on leaving Austin @ 10:30AM, but the boys always lag! (GRR!) But that's ohkay. We still had enough time to hit up 3 eateries and HK4 in Houston. So that's 4 places in 4 hours. LOL. We did a lot of eating in a very small amount of time. Here are some photos of our food!

1st place: House of Bowls

6650 Corporate Dr
Houston, TX 77036

9889 Bellaire Blvd #109
Houston, TX 77036

3rd Place: Thai Spice Asian Bistro

13602 Bellaire Blvd

Houston, TX 77083

Pad Thai w/ chicken and shrimp

Drunken Chicken

(Ehh. The food @ Thai Spice was ohkay. It wasn't the best Thai food I've had.)

Houston for the day =)

Jonhnny had to go pick up some car parts today in Houston and another friend asked us to pick up some car parts for him also... So I was super excited to get to eat some good Houston food! We had Tan Tan off Bellaire and Ranchester and after lunch, I desperately wanted to try Crave Cupcakes since I saw them on Girl Eats World's (Linda) foodie blog.. YUM. When I got there, I was SUPER excited. I took out my camera like a little tourist and started snapping photos. The bakery seemed busy because everyone came in groups, but other than that, it wasn't that busy. I was curiously looking through the glass at their lovely cupcakes. As I was snapping photos, they were angrily asking to help whoever was next. I didn't appreciate that. Let me take in all the lovely cupcakes, don't ruin my mood. When I got to the counter, the young lady took my order... in an annoyed fashion. I asked her what was good, and she just told me something that she had seemed to memorize. Eh, wasn't the best service. I ordered two strawberry and two red velvet cupcakes. The strawberry was good, I liked that the cupcake was moist and had real strawberries in them, but I think the frosting was too sweet (always an issue for me). I've been to Sprinkles Cupcakes before and I thought the cupcakes were super cute too just like Crave's. But they both are just average cupcakes to me; not enough cake, too much sweet frosting, and a little too expensive for a cupcake. Don't get me wrong, they are delicious and beautiful cupcakes... Just not my perfect cupcake. Next time I'm in Houston, I might just go to Sprinkles since their cupcake makers and sellers are a lot sweeter. No pun intended ;]

Pretty cupcakes =)
