Last Weekend was thanksgiving weekend. It was a true de-stress weekend after all the rough patch I went through. Alex and me took a road trip to Memphis and I must say I feel like home when I was in Memphis. Why? Mostly b’coz Memphis have the best BBQ ribs n pretty good music..
We party away the nite at BB King club at Beale Street. Yeah the famous B.B King was from Memphis. Not to mention Memphis is the home of Rock n Roll King, Elvis. I never thought I would dance to rock n roll music but I guess traveling had changed my interests and perceptions. There goes the saying at beale street everyday is mardi grass..
Besides the pretty good music, Memphis is famous for delicious BBQ Ribs. I had the best bbq ribs at blues café at beale street. The atmosphere at this dinner-style café is so classics, I love the worn out deco. It reminds me of those café in the 70’s show. The best bet on menu is that Memphis Staple, Barbeque. Oh, my buddy sook fun would love this.The BBQ ribs are as good as the bbq piglet I had in Thailand.
We also took a river cruise ride along the beautiful Mississippi river . We must be out of our mind to take a river cruise at almost 0’ degree out there. We missed lots of beautiful view as we stay inside the deck most of the time. It was too cold to be out there but we manage to snap few pictures.There was a pretty good band in the boat that kept us entertained. It was not that bad if it wasn’t for the cold weather.
Most peoples who had been to Memphis gave Memphis a bad review bcoz of the city looks a bit old and there are rumors of not so safe in the downtown . As for me I feel so much at home bcoz it reminds me so much of Thailand. The old n worn out shops, the party street , the turn on bbq ribs reminds me it was as though I m in Bangkok,. Alex n me definitely will return there to cure our home sick.
