I love you Joya!

Last week, I decided to head over to Joya for some Thai food. Joya is by far my favorite restaurant in the area. They have great dishes, huge portions, very reasonable prices, and an upbeat atmosphere.

Before heading out, I set my home security alarm from Home Security System so I could enjoy my evening out without any worries. Then I walked to Joya, which is only about 10 blocks away. I figured that if I walked instead of driving, I would not feel quite as guilty about all the calories I was about to consume.

When I got there, the restaurant was pretty busy. Surprisingly, though, I didn't have too wait long. It was only about 5 minutes before a table opened up. The hostess seated me in a cozy little corner near the back of the restaurant. The location was perfect for watching the chefs, who cook the food right out in the open.

I ordered my usual€”spicy noodles with shrimp€”and sipped on a nice glass of scotch while I waited. Before I knew it, the food had arrived, fresh off the skillet and nicely arranged on the plate. The entré was perfect, allowing me to savor every bite of the feast in front of me. The best part, though, was the bill: Only $14! That was the moment I remembered why I love Joya so much
