First Day in Austin! 🌞

Austin’s energy hit me the moment I landed! 🏙️ 💨 First stop: HEB, Texas’ iconic grocery gem—a must-visit for local flavors and quirky finds! Lunch brought Bamboo House’s Peking duck—half for 33,waycheaperthantheEastCoast’s 48 half-duck! 🦆 💸 Crispy skin, tender meat, and steamed buns? Chef’s kiss! 😋 The other two dishes were solid but not standouts—classic comfort food vibes. 🍽️ Dessert at Xuliu Shan was a mix—mochi was a tad tough, but the mango sago and sweet soups? Absolutely divine! Now, I’m craving Austin intel! 🌆🍴 Any hidden gems for food, hikes, or live music? Spill the tea! 🎶 House-hunting time! 🏡 Open houses revealed Austin’s school-zone homes aren’t the “cheap Texas dream” I imagined—sure, pricier than East/West Coasts, but no “dirt-cheap” deals. 😅 Fingers crossed for that perfect blend of price, space, and vibe! 🙏🏼 Austin’s charm? It’s a vibe—quirky, lively, and full of surprises. Can’t wait to dive deeper! #Austin #AustinFood #TexasLife
