Milk Tea at Cha for Tea

September 3rd, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Coffee & Drinks, Food, Los Angeles County, Travels / Leave A Comment

No trip to SoCal is ever complete for me without having some milk tea. Our last stop before heading to LAX airport was Cha for Tea, one of my favorites. I went with my usual – green milk tea. It never fails.

Dinner at At Last Cafe

September 3rd, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under American, Food, Los Angeles County, Travels / Leave A Comment

I’m glad that my final meal in America before flying to Taiwan was at At Last Cafe. It’s truly a hidden gem in Long Beach. My favorite was their brick chicken – chicken pressed and cooked under a brick. It was tender and juicy. Actually, nothing failed, including their desserts. I’m glad I came with [...]

Mae and I have had Paulette macarons from their new branch in San Francisco already, but we had to have them at the original. I’ve been wanting to go here forever, and since we were closeby, we finally went. Paulette probably has my favorite macarons.

Rosewater Ice Cream at Mashti Malone’s Ice Cream

September 3rd, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, Los Angeles County, Travels / Leave A Comment

It was 103 degrees so we had to get ice cream. We wanted gourmet ice cream so we went to Masthi Malone’s Ice Cream, which specialized in rosewater ice cream. Unfortunately, it was just not as good as local San Francisco ice cream shops, but they flavors were all still nice and very fragrant.

Korean Tacos at Bullkogi

September 3rd, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Los Angeles County, Street Food, Travels / Leave A Comment

While on our way to Umami Burger, we saw the Bullkogi truck parked nearby so we dropped by after lunch for some tacos. The tacos were good, and the fact that there was no line, unlike Kogi, made it even better.

Flavorful Burgers at Umami Burger

September 3rd, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Fusion, Los Angeles County, Travels / Leave A Comment

Nick joined us for lunch at Umami Burger. The thing about burgers at Umami Burger is that no burger comes plain. Everything comes with that extra taste, so if you’re looking for a nice, juicy burger with a different taste, this is the spot. The fries were just starchy and boring, but the tempura onion [...]

Cookies at Diamond Bakery

September 3rd, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Food, Los Angeles County, Travels / Leave A Comment

Diamond Bakery serves some pretty darn good cookies at a cheap price of $7 a pound. $7 might sound like a lot, but the cookies are so small that you can load up with a variety. We thought we ordered a good amount, but it ended up being only $5. Nothing fancy here – just [...]
