This was Filipino Boy Breakfast

AFter a stressful morning of light, low stake, and inconsequential cardio at the gym. I earned my calories, I damn well am gonna use them.

I got ordered myself some corned beef silog with a side order of spam. Granted, it was greasy af and I'm pretty sure I'll be paying for it later in life, but I only do this once a week, and it's Sunday and New Years eve, so why not start the end of 2023 on a good note?

The garlic fried was hit the spot though, ill give it that.

From mommy and me lunch last week, we checked out the newly opened Thaibodia on Main Street at the old Baja Cactus location (RIP Baja).

Overall, it was a great experience. We came in when it was very slow, our server did a great job keep tabs on us. Mom and I were hungry after an afternoon of doing stuff around the house (By stuff, I mean a binge watch session of Rupauls Drag Race since mom has to catch up, btw and for us). We got some Roti, Yellow Curry, Tom Kha Soup, and some BBQ Chicken.

Do you live in Milpitas? Come down and support a new local business. BTW: the owner is the legendary owner of Mr Chaus himself (90s kids know what's up).
