This weekend was definitely of the asian persuasion! It was all about sushi, thai food and more thai food. Which is ironic as we're busy finalising plans on a trip to Thailand later this year. So I'll see all the calories as dietary acclimatization for the upcoming holiday.
Erawan in Durbanville is a real shining star out that side of the world, as there aren't many great dining options. It is some of the best Thai food you'll have anywhere and it was a perfect spot for our girl's night. If you go, try the coconut rice.
The next evening we celebrated my sister-in-law's birthday at Sawadee - which I have been dying to try for a while now. It certainly did not disappoint, with the best duck spring rolls I've ever had. We also shared a tempura calamari starter that was so satisfyingly light and crispy, with a wonderful sweet chili sauce. I had the pad thai and Dave had the honey chicken and we were both delighted with our choices.
On Saturday we kicked off the day with a serious run to get our Two Oceans training going. It was the perfect opportunity to refuel our tired bodies at Sea Point's new health food destination, Nü. I tried the D-Tox green juice which was filled with all kinds of goodness such as spinach, celery, cucumber, ginger, apple and lemon and Dave and I both had the Hearti wrap which was packed with roasted butternut, feta, greens, sprouts, sesame seeds and a yummy red onion relish.
Nuri was our last stop on our asian food binge this weekend - as ever it never disappoints. This was followed by a nice walk along the prom with some great friends, and a stop for some frozen yogurt.
I was totally spoilt with a belated Christmas pressie and am obsessed with the macaron shaped ring box!
I also had to add in a picture of my beloved pooch, Vida. We took her to the puppy parlour for a summer cut. I had no idea this meant such a close shave! She looks utterly ridiculous, but I have to say she is much happier with less hair in this heat. Just look at that smiling face!
This week brings all kinds of changes and challenges - 2014 is set to be the year I make hard and fast decisions on my career, and also my physical and mental health. This week is going to be one of those weeks where some of those decisions will be made. Wish me luck!
