Sometimes the most surprisingly best meals are ones you get to adventure alone and fully emmerse yourself in the flavors and ambiance a venue offers. M Two is the newest rebirth of what was once Saba Blue Water Cafe on 4th st — and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who inquires; Just be prepared to pay for good eats and ambiance. Definitely a happy hour watering hole, but I can see them dimming the lights, throwing in some lounge music, and being able to get close with a missus on swank couches alit from umbrella lights.
The Seared Scallops were AMAZING, and the peruvian chile added just a flavor of spice without the burn.

Located in Houston on Bellaire just east of Beltway 8, Banana Leaf is one of the best Malay places I’ve been to eat in a long time! They boast a kitchen of ONLY malaysian chefs and all of their items made in house. Price wise, dishes are relatively around the $10 range, and I spent about $20 on myself (hey, I’m a fatty that’s happy. Lemme alone)

Craving some good Italian food? This place is located right next door to its sister Vespaio. We haven’t tried Vespaio, but we will soon. Enoteca is a less fancy, less expensive version. However, that being said, this place isn’t cheap. We spent $40 for two people.

If you go to 1 korean place in Austin, it HAS to be Korea House. On Anderson st just west of Burnet, it’s tucked away in the back of the shopping strip sharing a mall with the Alamo drafthouse, a yogurt shop and multiple gyms and holistic venues. Favorite dish without a doubt is the beef bulgogi, and if you at least 2 orders, you have the option to sit at a grill, and cook it your way 
Know another great thing? All the sides they bring you with your bulgogi!

Jo’s is a fun quaint place to hang out and catch some pretty good food. There are two locations one in 2nd district and the other in SoCo district. The two Jo’s are very different in atmosphere but the food quality is the same. On a nice pretty day I love to sit outside and enjoy my food especially their homemade cheesecake.

So good, it deserves a 2ndary mention! (To read the 1st one, go here: http://gimmenomnom.com/2010/04/12/24-diner/)
New to the scene of late night druken eats comes 24 Diner! Located on the north west corner of lamar and 6th st in Austin, the diner is home to some of the tastiest treats I’ve had (alcohol induced or otherwise). Their meatloaf is better than my last meatloaf favorite (Hoover’s) and their chicken and waffles (though not brined like Luck Js) w chocolate syrup is definitely worth a try!
