Another Year Older and Excellent Italian Food, Isaan THailand.

Well another birthday has come, and a year older I become. Today was a very quiet birthday as Miss Noot had travelled away to receive her degree from the prince of Thailand and won’t be back until the early hours of Monday morning.

I ventured over to Spago Italian restaurant, run by my friend Franko. I was joined by an Australian mate and we spent a few hours eating, chatting and enjoying some drinks. I really enjoyed the time. A very good birthday lunch.

Now I am running late for a dinner date, well a football date. My Premier League team Newcastle United are taking on Chelsea tonight and I am the only Toon supporter in Ubon, maybe Thailand. My friends are Chelsea so we will watch the game together and have a few drinks as well. I should be arriving as I am typing this. Need to get my ass into gear.

Below are some pictures from Spago.

It was quiet early as Spago had just opened.

There are plenty of good wines on offer at Spago to suit many tastes. I shared a litre of the house wine which was good.

I cannot describe how good the bruschetta was, I actually had two servings.

The Spago calzone pizza, really good.

This is Spago's four seasons pizza and I was told excellent. I believe this as it was gobbled down quickly.

This cake was nothing like I have had in Thailand. Only the best ingredients.

And I cannot leave my amazing Thai niece out, Nong Ja. She is now fully recovered from her sickness and is eating more than ever and driving me crazy like before, so I am very happy.
