First we thought about checking out one of the buffets in town that my parents liked. Now, i'm not too big on recommendations from "foreigners" about good Indian food, but if my mum says it's good, then it's good. Well, she did say this buffet was good, but she couldn't remember it's name or where it was located...brilliant. We spent a few hours trying to sort that out and in the end decided to drive out there.
This restaurant was located a suburb quite far from us and once we got there, we discovered that the restaurant had closed and another one had taken its place. Joke's on us! There was a mall nearby, so we decided to check it out. It was quite posh, with a lovely bookstore where we spent quite a bit of time.
This mall also boasted the only fish pedicure in the entire twin cities. Not sure where the fish originate, i've heard southeast Asia as well as the Middle East. Either way, you put your feet into a tank filled with these fish that are attracted to dead skin. So, the theory is that, they eat away the dead skin from your lower legs and feet, leaving behind new skin - i.e. a pedicure. This was so fascinating and we watched several people do it before we decided to have a go as well. However, by the time this decision was made, the kids were hungry and restless, so we decided to grab dinner and then do the pedicure. Dinner was McDee's (our annual visit) and couple of the sandwiches were actually good - kebab chicken with some great cucumber/spinach cream sauce...quite yummy. (I can't believe i said that about McDees). Alas, by the time we finished our dinner, we didn't have time for the pedicure. Well, we still have a week here, maybe we'll come back and "pamper" ourselves. Stay tuned!
