Banana Leaf takeout: never disappoints. I spent this weekend at the Ritz-Carlton in Georgetown, Washington DC, chilling with some of my BFFs. Every year, we get together in a different locale for our much anticipated All Girlz' Weekend. We catch up, laugh until we feel facial muscles we never knew existed, and drink [too many] cosmos.
Me and the girlz: from L to R: Shawna, Debbie, Pam, Moi, Barby, Mary EllenOnce my bus from DC landed in Philly, I promptly stopped at Banana Leaf, and ordered take out: Achat – veggies pickled in turmeric and spicy herbs with sesame seeds, and – vegetarian Chow Kueh Teow –fried flat rice noodles with veggies, bean sprouts, soy sauce and [lots of] chili paste. If you order Chow Kueh Teow, ask them to also omit the eggs. Phantasmagorical, as always. Just wish my BFFs were lived closer so they could share it with me.
