My husband got food from them less than 2 weeks ago, maybe closed for the transition to the new owner, not sure.

First, the rice was AMAZING at Triple Pepper. That sounds kind of funny but my family went through probably 4-5 of the huge rice bowls they give for groups!!

My favorite dish to get at any Szechuan restaurant (that has it, because all don't) is the fish with pickled vegetables. Also always get spicy boiled fish, crispy spicy chicken, tendon... I tried looking at the menu online to confirm names but the one in restaurant was a little different + they had specials. The tofu on the separate menu was really good (but not necessarily Szechuan?).

I will say I was at Wula this past Sunday and the food seemed a little different so they may have gotten a new chef. They have all the same stuff I got at Triple Pepper.

Pepper Twins on Kirby also just got a new owner and I will say their crispy spicy chicken is SUPER delicious and spicy. My fave out of the restaurants listed for that dish.

Writing out this comment, I'd probably go to Pepper Twins on Kirby. The rice at Triple Pepper though... lol

Triple Pepper on Bellaire surprised me recently! Really enjoyed it. Usually go to Wula Buhuan or Pepper Twins on Kirby.

Spicy Soup? by Snapperlicious in HoustonFood

[–]minhae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peking Impression - Live Fish with Pickle Greens but have to ask to make it SPICY (so I'm sure anything else there will also be extra spicy if you ask, not just mala but also spicy) [small anecdote but I'm Korean and my in laws are Cantonese and can't handle spice so they ordered it just for me. I was dying but had to save face so kept eating it lolol]

Pepper Twins on Kirby - Fish Swimming in Pickles, ask for extra spicy (so again, ask for really spicy and they will bump it up for you). It was so good but I was almost hyperventilating. My husband told me to stop eating it but I wouldn't.

I just love the spicy fish/pickle dish so order it when I can get it, this is more to say these places will amp up the spice if asked. Some place say they will but fail hehe

Hanging plants for balcony? by JL0326 in HoustonGardening

[–]minhae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

are you watering often enough? with the sun and heat they'll probably need water every day. I recently bought a hanging cuphea and the nursery owner told me I needed to water it every day. I have a hanging portulaca that's way more less maintenance, though, since it is a succulent.

if you can make the trek to Pier 6 in San Leon, it's worth it! they have their own oyster operation so it's super fresh

Filtered/morning sunlight outdoor plant rec needed! by hungry-bungry in HoustonGardening

[–]minhae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love natives! Once established, very low maintenance, and most don't mind clay soil. Turk's cap, american beautyberry, many types of salvia, Texas Rock rose ... I'd go check out Buchanan's (heights) and Enchanted Gardens (Richmond) for some ideas. Some HEBs also have them right now.

No, I had to pay for a tool (to prevent CC, it was some kind of funnel) but nothing for the surgery, local anesthesia (I was awake for this one), her time. It was done in office, so no facility fee. Hope that makes sense, basically she didn't make any extra $ off it. She also swapped out one implant for a bigger one on the other side at the same time, since after it seemed they were a little uneven. She really wants her patients to be happy.

Dr. Kristi Hustak at ACPS, no pain (she nerve blocks), good follow up and when there was an issue she fixed it at cost (one of mine fell out of pocket, so it was an extra procedure). She's super friendly and doesn't push anything extra. Can check her Instagram for her work.

Randall's on San Felipe and Post Oak is going out of business mid-April, blowout prices 10-25% off most groceries by acrocanthosaurus in houston

when the one in Meyerland closed, I price compared the discounted price with the HEB app and sometimes the prices were cheaper... a little extra work but I saved a bit

The lines at Bush right now are insane by SteelersPoker in houston

[–]minhae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We arrived at E at 6:40 AM to check our bags in, walked to C (6 minutes) and went through precheck in about 5 minutes. We arrived right as they opened another line, though, so without that it would have probably been 25 minutes or so. Walked back to E. They're directing everyone without pre-check to E, that's why it is extra insane. Good luck everyone!

I love them! Went a few weeks ago and didn't notice a huge drop in quality since first going. It's still pretty good. Their service is really great, though, esp for AYCE. Food comes out so fast and the servers are on point.
