the best kind of date nights {aka happy hour at P.F. Chang's} + a giveaway

This post is sponsored by P.F. Chang's, but all opinions are my own.


I'm not gonna lie, the best kind of date nights are the ones that are paid for, so thanks for that P.F. Chang's. What's ironic is that Shawn had been having a serious craving for Chinese food - as in he mentioned if every night for a week straight. I almost went out and bought him a pregnancy test. Anyway, we had the opportunity to have a date night to try P.F. Chang's summer menu, and it did not disappoint.


I'm not typically this girly of a drinker, but I had to try the Pink Cherry Cosmo. This P.F. Chang's cocktail was strong but it was delicious and refreshing on a warm summer evening. After perusing P.F. Chang's beer selections, Shawn opted for a Sam Adams seasonal {which we've been hooked on all summer}, because sometimes Asian food and beer just go together.


We ordered the Vietnamese Lemongrass Chicken Spring Rolls as an appetizer, and they were good. They were even better dipped in the sweet chili dipping sauce.


For dinner, I ordered the Chiang Mai Curry Noodles with Chicken on P.F. Chang's summer menu, and OMG!!!! it was delicious. And I'm not just saying that. Sometimes I find that some Asian dishes are way too salty, but this was perfection on a plate. I only ate half of it so that I could save the rest for later, because it was that good.


Shawn also ordered off P.F. Chang's summer menu, and he got the Korean BBQ Chicken Stir-Fry. He loves General Tso's and was VERY happy when this dish tasted similar to General Tso's.



It was great for Shawn and I to get out of the house and enjoy a happy hour date night. We don't do this nearly often enough, even though we don't have kids. And I highly recommend that you grab your main squeeze or your gal pals and try the P.F. Chang's summer menu.
