So Taylor just took his Step 2 (aka the 2nd of 3 parts of Boards) which is pretty much the second most important test he will have to take in medical school. He took Step I last year and did awesome, so we are only hoping that the same sort of score shows up this year too. To celebrate we went to Buddakan in Center City. Buddakan is one of the Starr Restaurants in Philadelphia. They have quite the reputation here on the East Coast, and we now know why. The food was "Asian Cuisine." It was sooo good. Although we ordered my second choice on the menu, it was after all Taylor's night so he got to choose the entree. Nevertheless, the service, cuisine, and ambiance of the restaurant was spectacular. Here are some photos of our night. I LOVE the culture here in Philly, even though we aren't leaving for another 10 months.. I am REEEEAALLLY GOING TO MISS THIS PLACE!!
Step II is OVER!!!!
Isn't it gorgeous!!!
The "Special" for the night appetizer. They were yummy eggrolls and a spicy salad.
The very LARGE Budda in the center of the restaurant.
Our Calamari Salad-- reeally yummy!
The Jumbo Shrimp Pad Thai-- (Taylor's choice--ok, ok, it was good, but I really wanted the Asian Pulled Pork--next time we'll try it--but still this was really awesome and according to our waitress the best Pad Thai in town). I think the best Pad Thai is at Chabba--in Manayunk in case any of you are looking for a good Thai restaurant!
Diggin' in!!
The ambiance....
Me excited about dessert... Hmmm... chocolate cake and chocolate ice cream!
Downtown scenery and a little of Taylor modeling....

Hoorah Taylor! We are so proud of you. Enjoy your dollies this week, you have been MIA. Thanks for taking care of my them...Love you, Nanna
If you like seafood, I can send you a pic to add of the jellyfish I choked down two weeks ago in San Francisco. Come to think of it, the lobster in Toronto yesterday was fancy, too. :)
Congrats, you deserve it. And I LOVE the photos!
What kind of camera did you buy????
Congrats Taylor! Nice picture taking too.
Looks yummy and fun
You know, I just had a great idea! If you're love the culture in Philly so much, and you're REALLLLLLY going to miss it...how 'bout staying? Just a little selfish idea from Chaci, I'm sure it's never occurred to you :)!
