What's a foodie to do?

I was just told I need to go on a diet otherwise my diabetes will manifest into a daily pill popping oblivion. Things I've added to my diet: salads, fruits, whole grain bread, milk, yogurt. We had lunch today at Barnaby's, I haven't been there in ages. I had their pesto chicken salad sandwich with artichokes, and in the words of Rachael Ray "yum-o". Couple of things though, somebody was a little heavy handed on the mayo and it was served with chips (not good for my diet). And boy do they need a rug or two in that place, I couldn't hear our waiter or J.
Onward to dinner, my first attempt at hot and sour thai soup (thom yum gung) turned out quite well. Definitely a good use for the overgrown lemongrass in the patio. Who doesn't want a hot steaming bowl of this

Mission

What I'd like to do is create a place where people(foodies) can search those hole in the wall restaurants in Houston...and get some real reviews and maybe menus-from someone who enjoys the adventure in food. Other than that, we'll see where this takes us!
Here's a glimpse of today's dinner...

For those of you who don't know what this lovely plate of food is....it's Cafe Malay's house special Nasi Lemak. My short and sweet description of the dish is anchovies, shrimp paste, hard boiled egg, and chicken curry. This is an explosion of flavors very similar to eating Indian and Thai cuisines all at once.
