HOME AFTER GET-TOGETHER

Walking back to my hotel room, 18th floor, The Orleans, after get-together dinner with friends and relatives at Cottonwoods.

My Shrimp Scampi dinner at the Big Al's Oyster Bar, The Orleans Casino Hotel, Las Vegas, NV.

Really, a Bon Appetit! 

My first HOT SAKI WINE (rice wine) served in tea cup (never thought that wine can be served hot!) at THE NOODLES, BELLAGIO HOTEL with Executive Chef Patrick Lee offering authentic regional noodle dishes from Thailand, Japan, China and Vietnam. 

getting car from the parking lot to drive friends to M RESORT-SPA-CASINO at Henderson, LV.

CHOC'LET FRENZY!

Day 2 of school break: Chocolate Indulgence @ Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, The Orleans Hotel, Las Vegas, NV.

BREAKTIME

Food and entertainment are great ways for a break from work. Let me recap my first day of break: first stop is The Bellagio. Had a juice for a start at a bar while waiting for LIna with my cousin's friends. Contemporary dining at NOODLES! Still at Bellagio's around 10pm - my first taste of warm Saki(rice wine) in tea cup size shots and my god! In 2 tea cups and my world started swirling! Whooh! Felt better in an hour though.

Then watched them play cards until 2am or so. Drove to M Hotel to drop the rest of the group and drove back to My hotel to take a nap as I would be picking my cousin in 2 hours after the nap.

BLOOM'S TAXONOMY EVOLVES BLOOMIN' PEACOCK!

I came across ilearntechnology blogsite through the buzzworthy section of my website educationet . This illustration of Bloom's Taxonomy, which i call now Bloom's Evolution, as Bloomin' Peacock by Kelly Tenkely, I say,  is catchy and very creative. Scrolling down further and the illustration below gave me a good laugh for its clever integration of technology in every stage of the taxonomy.

Don't you think so?

TIME FOR BREAK: SHRIMP SCAMPI AND DRAGON ROLLS AT THE ORLEANS HOTEL & CASINO, LAS VEGAS

http://www.orleanscasino.com/

I know there are lots of new places to go now in Vegas for fabulous dining (ah! dining experience to the max!). Yet there are really places where you keep coming back because they just suit your taste buds and ambiance.


Here's a couple for me .....

This is Shrimp Scampi (but not the one from Big Al's Oyster Bar at the Orleans Hotel and Casino in Vegas) - my favorite. Others may find Big Al's Shrimp Scampi to be mediocre but to my taste buds, it's the best! the way those shrimps are sauteed with fresh herbs, garlic, and creamy white wine sauce over linguine... it's just perfect for me...creamy with a bite.

Also, I may not be that much on meat (specially beef) but Canal Street Restaurant's Filet Mignon is lusciously succulent as well.

And if you are a fan of japanese foods, try the dragon roll at Koji Sushi Bar and China Bistro still at The Orleans. Though the dragon roll image here is not from Koji, but it's a foretaste of a gustatory bliss in Vegas.

BON APPETIT!
