    Friday the 13th, we had lunch at Texas Roadhouse in Thalia St. At 1:30 in the afternoon we were lucky to find a seat easy. The place was not so crowded like before, when it was newly opened. Upon entering, a smiling staff  greeted us and we were guided to our table and a fresh-baked bread and butter was served immediately.

    On the table, we found a small tin pail of peanuts, we were thinking hmmm. maybe the order will take long to be served, but no, we ordered steak and it was served just about 15 – 20 minutes.

    The meat was so tender and deliciously insane!

  • Weekly Photo Challenge: Room

    I have a 72 years old male patient came in for consultation. His main concern..”spaces in front of the two front teeth”.

    Him: Can you do something?

    Me: Yes, I can.. but your teeth will look a bit wider and longer .

    Him: would it look nice? will it improve my appearance?

    Me: (looking at the other adjacent teeth, considering his oral hygiene) If only to close the space at the middle, maybe 20%! but lets start first in cleaning your teeth so I can get the real shade of the teeth. He agreed and I proceeded to remove the old composite filling and restored the teeth with direct composite veneer.(E.max  direct).

    His eyes beamed at the prospect of having 20% improvement. However, when I handed him the mirror, he was so pleased to look at his front teeth and proceeded to do the rest of his teeth. the rest is history, 🙂 It feels good to see him very happy.

    beauty shines beyond fifty!

  • Tike a taste of Istanbul

    IMG_0014Today we opted not to cook lunch at home, instead we went to Tike (a little piece of meat) restaurant offering a taste of Istanbul.Oh, this is the time I am missing my sons most! We all love to explore different kind of cuisine.

    The place is explicitly simple and yet so pleasing to the eyes.

    They offer barbecue by 1 meter and 2 meters, but we’re only three so we choose something good enough to fill our tummy.

    The feta bread, although authentic and tasty, there was too much flour,it cling to my hands, so messy to handle. Hummus was just right, the most I love was the Kobe and grilled eggplant.

     

    The grilled lamb was so tender and tasty. On dessert, I didn’t like the kunafa, the authentic Dondurma, turkish Ice cream, made of milk,sugar,salep and mastic gum,I find the texture so elastic and unique. in other words.. slimy and sweet 🙂 Oh well, It was nice to experience different taste and place. I hope one day I can travel to Istanbul and explore more 🙂
