Grand Canyon

It was a beautiful day to drive into Grand Canyon. Words can't describe the beauty of nature. I especially love seeing the golden weeds being blown by the strong wind. 

The ever changing colors of the Grand Canyon. Depending on the time and the location of the day.

Decadence

Do you love chocolate? Then you MUST visit the world's largest chocolate fountain, here in the Bellagio Hotel. Everything in Jean Philippe is mouth watering. Especially the breakfast pastries... yummy but we decided to go for the crepes. We had the  berry mix and exotic fruit crepe Souffle. Yummss...nothing beats sweet delicious crepe and aromatic coffee in the morning! 

For lunch, YC treated us to Julian Serrano in Aria. I love tapas, when I saw the menu, I couldn't really decide what to order, in the end, we decided on the non-alcoholic sangria, ahi raspberry skewer, octopus on potatoes, fried calamari, cheese plater and coca vegetarian. Coca? It's spanish pizza.

You would think such small portions would not be sufficient but surprisingly, we were very very full at the end of the meal. Makes me miss Spain for all the tapas. Nonetheless, thanks YC for the lovely lunch! :)

Vegas Vegas!

I love glitz, glamour and glass. Haha... I love everything that is shinny, colorful and pretty.

This is Vegas during the day.

 

 

 

 

And this is Vegas during the night, I think it's more mesmerizing at night with the colors and lights!











 

So much to see yet so little time, o Vegas I must return! :)

Mon Ami Gabi

What could be more fashionable than sitting at the patio basking in the warm beautiful sun in a cold cold winter day? Being new in town, we Yelped for a good place for lunch. This place had over thousands of review for having good food in a good location with a good view. Even with reservations, we still have to wait a tad over 10 minutes for a table but it was worth it. The place was beautiful, we were having lunch in Paris, the hotel in Las Vegas, right on the strip. *chuckle*. Look we even had the Eiffel Tower view!

 

My lunch at Mon Ami Gabi was yummy, I had the scallop gratinees and endives salad. I was a little shocked when I saw that I was only served 3 scallops but it was so rich you wouldn't want more than 3 scallops! It was cooked with caramelized fennel, onion marmalade and mussel cream. The salad came with bosc pear, blue cheese, watercress and celery. It was very satisfying without feeling guilty at all! The rest of the party had the seafood crepe, spinach quiche, and shrimp and crab salad sandwich topped with avocado! Oh I forgot to mention, they serve warm fresh baguette with homemade smooooooth butter! To die for! :)
