This morning, I woke up early to do some sightseeing before heading to do food truck stuff. I decided to get some breakfast first in the Allston area of Boston, settling on
@Union, a nice cafe which was open at this time of morning.
After looking at the menu, I decided to get the Banana Avocado Smoothie
and the Coconut French Toast (with grilled pineapple, coconut flakes and powdered sugar)
The smoothie was really hearty and I could only finish half of it, while the french toast awed me with its presentation and tastiness, as I am not really a fan of shredded coconut, but I finished it all this time. A definite recommend from me for this place.
From here, I headed to the South Boston area to doing some sightseeing there,

My last destination in the morning was
Carson Beach, which was a much better beach than
Savin Hill Beach, which I visited
yesterday. Pictures I took here before heading off to do food truck stuff follow.
After dealing with food truck stuff, I had to leave a little early to attend a friend's birthday party at
Skyzone, the trampoline park in Everett which I have been to
before. As it was the last time I was here, I had lots of fun playing dodgeball for an hour, although it was pretty intense and tiring.
After our time was up, my friend decided it was still too early for dinner, so we bid each other farewell, and I decided to head to the town of Melrose nearby to continue my sightseeing there and have dinner as well, passing by the Winslow Condominiums at 14 Locust Street in Everett along the way.
I decided to grab dinner first, heading to
Spice of Melrose, a decent Thai restaurant in downtown Melrose, where I had a groupon to use.
After looking at the menu, I decided to get the Salmon Salmon Roll (crispy rolls filled with salmon fillet
and spinach, served with oriental style cream sauce) for an appetizer,
the Tom Ka Ta Lay (Spicy coconut soup with fresh selected seafood, mushroom,
scallion) for soup,
the Three Taste Mango Fish (pair of crispy haddock fillet and
homemade spiced mango sauce) and
the Chiangmai Noodle
(Yellow curry with chicken and shrimp served
with egg noodle, crush peanut, and fried shallot)
The starters came out in the form of a small sweet steamed bun,
which was pretty interesting, and I dipped it with the sauces from my food. The soup was marvelous, the sweet coconut taste blending well with a tinge of tanginess to complete the dish which I lapped up hungrily.
The salmon was a little dry, but thankfully the sauce that went with it made it alright. The fish was crispy yet fresh and cooked just right, going well with the pineapple-mango sauce,
while there was more curry goodness with the noodles.
A definite recommend if you are ever in town.
After dinner, I spent the rest of the day taking pictures of various places in Melrose.

With the sun having set for good, I headed home for the day, satisfied with my evening of sightseeing in Melrose.
