unlikely lady of leisure: Ro-ma-Roma-ras

Ro-ma-Roma-ras

Tony Romas always satisfies. Coming on the heels of a bad dinner at Applebees, we appreciated the good food all the more. It's still number one on the HungryGoWhere list for ribs, and I heartily agree!

We were there to celebrate my mum's birthday. Tony Romas featured new items on their menu, and we just had to try the Spinach Artichoke dip to compare with Applebees, and my, it won hands down! It was much more flavourful, creamy and addictive. The Bourbon BBQ and Chiptle Beer were very interesting new sauces for their Ribs. I liked them both, though I think I prefer the Bourbon BBQ a little more.

The two cousins also had a yummy feast there! They shared a ribs & fish main course - and finished it! Asher particularly enjoyed munching on the corn-on-the-cob - his latest favourite food.

After dinner action was great fun! The two little boys had a great time playing together - if their laughter and squeals of delight are anything to go by :) One of the funny moments was when Aidan was at one end of a pond, and Asher at another. They were staring through the glass to look at the water when they saw each other, laughed, then both started to try and make their way to each other. There was a pillar at the corner, and when they rounded the corner, the both burst out laughing and started to run away, thinking the other was playing peekaboo with him :O)

At the Orchard Hotel lobby, it was adorable to watch them follow the lines on the ground and go "choo choo" as if they were trains :) Round and round and round they went - was tiring for us parents having to keep up with them! It was great to see them really playing with each other. For the longest time they were mostly playing alongside one another, but now they learn funny 'words' from one another, and follow each other's actions.

Asher didn't want to stop, and as you can see from this series of pictures, he kept trying to escape to run around some more :)

"I want to break free!"
