Chinatown ~ Washington, DC

Chinatown in DC is a great place to walk around, dine on delicious international food and browse interesting shops. This weekend Reggie and I headed to Chinatown because I wanted to purchase a Sake set. For those of you that don't know Sake is a Japanese beverage made from rice. It can be enjoyed hot or cold - it has a completely different flavor at different temperatures - I prefer to drink it hot.

We were both in the mood for Indian food and ate at Mehak. The food was delicious! I had Butter Chicken and Reggie had Lamb Vindaloo. I couldn't decide which dish I liked better! :) We left pleasantly plump and waddled right next door to our favorite shop in Chinatown: Da Hsin Trading Company.

They have all sorts of odds and ends at this place! Tea sets, chopsticks, place settings, Obama t-shirts :), Asian food, herbs in all varieties to cure all that ails you, home furnishings, and of course, sake sets. Reggie and I settled on this one.

We have no idea what the markings mean but think they're just beautiful. Now all we need to do is have a Sushi and Sake night! Delicious!
