Linda took me to Bar Crudo for my birthday. Another excellent meal. We got there early and it happened to be happy hour. $1 oysters and $5 cup of seafood chowder. We agreed that their Seafood Chowder is possibly the best we’ve ever had. It had bits of fish, mussels, shrimp, squid, potatoes, and applewood [...]

We celebrated Linda’s birthday with cupcakes from Kara’s Cupcakes. Only the best for Linda! Kara’s had a peppermint cupcake, which is seasonal. The frosting had bits of peppermint in it. Delicious. Too bad Linda ate the entire cupcake up, leaving only a bit of the frosting behind. At least I got that much.

My new-found obsession with Tea Way doesn’t just start and end with their green milk tea – their snacks are really good too, and all items for just $2.99. Their popcorn chicken gives off a similar scent to the chicken steaks (雞排) in the Taiwan night markets, and they’re meaty and juicy, unlike the ones [...]

Another late night meal spent at Drunken Sushi with my favorite dish Korean dish, the hoedeopbap, or what their menu refers to as the Wow. We also got their Pebble dish, one of my favorite appetizers of theirs, which is a battered, deep-fried spicy-tuna dish, and we got their scream roll and an order of [...]

I spent Sunday night at Toyose, or what most of us refer to as the Garage since it’s literally in the garage of a house in the Outer Sunset, which sounds kinda cool. We hung out there during the after-hours to celebrate Stephanie’s last day at work (kinda). Soju, Hite, and Korean food. Just food [...]

After our meal at the Old Mandarin Islamic Restaurant, we grabbed dessert nearby at Mango Medley. It has changed a lot since I was last there (at least a year ago) and for the better. For the most part, the food is the same, but now, service is a lot faster. I remember having to [...]

A group of us ate at Old Mandarin Islamic Restaurant for David’s birthday. It’s definitely a great place for hot pot and good-ole Beijing food. Since this Chinese restaurant observes Islam, they don’t serve pork, but they do serve a lot of lamb. Aside from their hot pot, their Peking noodles and their beef pancake [...]

For our last meal in LA, we went to The Apple Pan. They have one of the best (if not the best) traditional burgers that I’ve ever had. It was a patty with lettuce, onions and ketchup with melted natural Tillamook Cheddar cheese – simple! It reminded me o an In-N-Out burger, but smokier since [...]

It seems like I’ve been coming to Izakaya Haru Ulala a lot lately. They close at 2 a.m. in the weekends so it’s always a good spot to check out when hungry. Considering how much we’ve been eating all day, we ordered a lot of food here. My favorites were the radish in the braised [...]

We went into Susina Bakery & Cafe to take a break from eating and just sip on some tea and digest. I had their apricot tea, which was good, and caffeine-free. I was tempted to get a slice of a cake or tart, but I stopped myself since we were going to move on to [...]
