Bad Saint (Pilipino) Restaurant in DC

Bad Saint Restaurant in DC turned out to be good food after all minus the wait! My friend stood in line from 3:30 until the restaurant opened at 5:30 and this is on a Sunday.  When they opened at 5:30 we were the first one that missed the first seating.  So they took our number and told us we would have to wait for the next available seating which is 7:15-7:45.  We got seated at 7:30ish. That's a 4 hour wait!

Is it worth the 4 hour wait? Probably not.  If I knew we'd have to wait 4 hours all together I would not wait.

If we weren't waiting already for 2 hours we'd probably go home but decided to wait for another 2 hours just so we don't have to start over the next time.   I feel bad for my friend because her and her hubby waited in line while Chris and I were watching the Redskins game in a bar nearby.


The Lambanog cocktail drink is tangy sweet. I just wish they do not add Calamansi juice because I like the sweetness of fresh Lambanog (raw coconut sweet wine).  Hubby got the San Miguel Beer (2).  He has no complaint except the salad that comes with Tocino plate has cilantro.  He does not like cilantro.

Their dishes, at least the ones we ordered, are spicy and lots of herbs.  (My kind of food).  I had the Pinapatisang Manok on their menu and oh boy was it spicy and it simmered with coconut.   It was really good just a bit salty.  Bottom line; If you never had Pilipino food before, I suggest you snack something before standing in line for 4 hours!

Labor Day Weekend

SEPT 1, 2018-   White Water Rafting in Ohiopyle, PA For the last couple years we participated with my husband's family in their Labor Day weekend get together.  Each year we take turns to give and recieve mementos.  For 2018 it was our turn to give  and we customised coffee mugs with pictures from our previous Labor Day in Chicago and suggested places to meet up in the future. A custom mug memento from our Chicago Labor Day get together. We went to Ohiopyle, PA for 2018 Labor Day mainly to do white water rafting.  Not my thing to do but I like to try anything at least once so I decided okay why not.  The town is very small and the picture below is their business district which has only few buildings and a cafe to the left.  Nonetheless we had fun not to mention the house we rented was big enough for eight people. We played card games and some relaxations. We had  a refreshments and cake at the Cafe on the River.  The Pe...

Birthday Dinner

The Palm Restaurant in DC was the choice for the birthday dinner.  The food was okay and their service was good but they sat us at a small table that looks like it's only for 2 people and there were 4 of us.  So it was sort of tight for 4 people.   I dont mind the price if they make you feel welcome.  But when we got there the host didnt even look at us.  We told him we have a reservation and our name and he never looked up from his computer.  No 'Welcome so and so' and no eye contact.  Not going back there again.             

Forth Worth, Texas

Nov 11, 2016  Forth Worth, Texas.   Whenever we are in Texas and if we have time we come to this place, the Forth Worth Stockyards.   We like the old western look and feel of the town and the saloons. We traveled to Texas on election day.  The next morning this newpaper was displayed in our hotel front desk.
