Collage - Restroom Decor


Houston has one of the highest number of restaurants. As one drives across the Westheimer Road, they can find almost all the main stream and some not so well known restaurants! Am not here to talk about the food, but to present some of the glimpses decor, the rest-room decor to be precise!!  If you ask me Why, I will say I have tried to capture the quirkiness! Often these bring a smile on my face!  Here are few of my captures:

Thai Dining at Yipeng Restaurant, Houston


This one from one of the Victorian otels at San Antonio, Hotel Menger. The hotel is more than 150 years old and it does preserve some of the old world charms. There are legends that fortunate folks can even encounter ghosts, but sadly I missed that opportunity


At one of the old town restaurants at Brenham. Brenham is a quaint little town, North West of Houston. We went to a small fun cafe and I did like their interiors!


This one is from La Madeleine, Houston. The interiors ooze French artistry and finesse!






Cold spring is a small town in North East Texas. We took a break here to grab some bites and I saw this:


There are not many Sri Lankan restaurants in Houston, we have one close to our place, Cafe Koottu. Koottu is a traditional Sri Lankan dish, which is made up of shredded pieces of Paratha, tossed with other veggies and spices. This dish also reminded me of Chilaquilla of Mexico. Although the treatments are slightly different, but essentially both the dishes experiment with leftover breads!

Anyway, back to the decor, here I present you with a Sinhalee (or Sri Lankan) mask at an entrance to the restroom.
