Fairwood is a fast food chain all over Hong Kong that serves Chinese and Western food. Is it considered fast food though if the food is made fresh? I tried their curry beef brisket and their curry fish (both were different sauces). Their curry beef brisket was my favorite – the beef was very tender, [...]

Best croissants in LA? Maybe. It was hard not to eat every last bite of every single type of croissants Little Next Door had to offer in their breakfast basket. Their croissants are just so flaky and buttery and moist – definitely some of the best. And their food, overall, is solid. 8142 W 3rd [...]

Craving traditional Taiwanese breakfast – soybean milk and Chinese donut (豆漿+油條/doujiang youtiao)? Get it at Huge Tree Pastry in Monterey Park. The milk is fresh, and the donut comes hot and crunchy.

Now this is the hungry man’s place. Portions at Doughboys Cafe and Bakery are huge, including their French onion soup. Their French onion soup is a monster. Just look at that picture! It’s big enough to be its own meal. You gotta be a cheese lover, though, because it’s topped with a thick layer of [...]

The East coast favorite Magnolia Bakery made its way from New York to Los Angeles, and it brought its famous treat – the banana bread pudding. It’s soft, it’s mushy, it’s sweet, and it’s very banana-ey. Banana lovers with a sweet tooth have to try this! 8389 W 3rd St Los Angeles, CA 90048 Neighborhood: [...]

I’ve been wanting to make a visit to Katsu-ya for a while now but haven’t had the chance. Fortunately, my coworkers introduced me to The Izaka-ya by Katsu-ya, which is still part of the Katsu-ya group, but a lower-end version and at a fraction of the price. The rave is all on their creamy rock [...]

The noodles and broth [...]

No more waiting an hour in line to get a hot bowl of ramen at Daikokuya anymore, at least not at their Monterey Park location. The wait for me was around 15 minutes. I haven’t been to the original location in a while, but the ramen here is how I remember it at the original [...]
