Coolinary New Orleans

Other than Hurricane Isaac, August was a cool month. With www.Coolinaryneworleans.com!
GW Fins, Iris, and Cafe Adelaide.
I been wanting to make plans to go hang out with Thu but we been so busy. But after some sad news about her life, I immediately took her out for a much needed girl night out. It was perfect because GW offered their Coolinary menu on weekdays only anyways.
Our appetizers with thai calamari and porkbelly/watermelon tasting. The fancy drink is for Thu.




Thu had the seafood bouillabaisse and I had the Batwing. We ate the pecan pie with Ice cream before we remembered to take a photo. Lol! And we were so full to finish the cheesecake. Awesome dinner!




The following week, when Vinh and I had off from work. So,we went to Iris. It was nice cause we dressed up and had a nice evening out as a couple alone. =)




For beginners: He had the duck salad and I had the BLT-like salad. Our entrees: He had the Drum fish and I had the Ranch Pork. And desserts: He had the watermelon sorbet and I had the panna cotta. We also forgot the photos when desserts came out. Haha

Lastly, we went out for Anna's belated birthday at Cafe Adelaide. It's right next to swizzle stick bar in the Lowe's hotel!
Appetizers: I had the shrimp corndogs, and TV had the sweet corn soup velouté, and Vinh and Anna had the veal rillettes.




For our entrees: I had the Duck, Anna went with scallops, ThaoVi had the Fig injected Veal, and Vinh with his grilled Drum.




For desserts: I had cookies and Ice Cream. Anna had her cake, ThaoVi with her bread Pudding and Vinh finished the night with coffee.



I only ate the ice cream cause i was too full to try the cookies too. We boxed it to go to savor later But, we had such an awesome time, we forgot the cookies. Lol!
It was great that Nola had this awesome event going this month. It gave me a chance to try new restaurants. Cafe Adelaide will be a frequency eatery for me. Thanks Coolinaryneworleans!
