Birthday Girl in Vegas
Nov 29th, 2010 by Ashley
I was sort of depressed thinking I was gonna spend a better part of my big birthday traveling (first by plane to Vegas then by car to Page, AZ), so Chiahui proposed we’d celebrate my bday in Taiwan time zone. So I rounded up few good friend at the last minute and headed to my favorite Tanto.
The next morning I woke up early, got ready and headed to SFO. We landed early around 2:30pm; however, getting our rental car, which was a Prius(!), took us a while and by the time we got to Wynn, it was already 4pm. We were utterly naive, thinking, it’s Thanksgiving, you fat Americans should stay home with your family and your awful stuffed turkey prepared the way TSA do their infamous patdowns. But no. I think they were all there. We walked to the end of the line, overhearing somebody said it’s gonna be a three hour wait. Errr….
Anyways, chun and I decided to wait while Chiahui, staved, devoured two pastries at the corner cafe. It was indeed a three hour wait, no kidding, but, nevertheless, we got in eventually, a little pass 7pm.
Even though time was pressing (we still had a 5 hour drive ahead of us, which turned out to be 3.5 hour), we took our time and ate as cost-efficiently as possible. I had a whole plate of Snow Crab legs before I discovered that Alaska crab legs are much sweeter and juicier. I was glad. Cos had I began with Alaska crab, I wouldn’t wanna touch the snow crab. Marsh mellow + yam was divine. Always love Prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe. Taste-like-real-strawberry strawberry gelato. Coffee gelato creamed coffee. And strawberry cake with blue candles on top. We sang happy birthday to me quietly, and I made three wished. It was awesome.
