Birthday Take Two at Bida Manda

   As I mentioned in my last post, I firmly believe that birthdays last for a week, particularly if they take place on a week day.  For my weekend celebration with friends (or 30th birthday part II) I met a group of my favorite people for dinner at Bida Manda.  I've blogged about my love of Bida Manda before, and my affection has not abated in the least, but nor has the difficulty in getting a reservation.  If anything, as more people have come to discover it, reservations have become even more elusive. It was no small feat getting in a sizable group on a Friday!  In any case, I'm not going to wax poetic about Bida Manda AGAIN, but I will show some of the food porn that I documented.  Strange...when I look at my birthday pictures they all seem to be of food with none of people or of myself...hmm..  Read my old entry Loving Laotian at Bida Manda for a complete review.
