After a nearly four month hiatus, I am back~ It has been so busy with work that I had no time for extracurricular activities (like updating my blog).. To bring life back to this blog, I decided to start with introducing one of my favorite health conscious food spots. This place was first introduced to me by my coworker. She is extremely health conscious and … Continue reading Green Tomato Grill 🍅
This past week I went to San Francisco to visit my friends. The trip here was horrible since my flight and the two flights after were either canceled or rerouted. It took me 12hours to get to SF from OC. What a nightmare.. Today, we shall talk about food. For MLK day, we went to get brunch at Kitchen Story. This place had an extremely … Continue reading Brunch and Dessert @ SAN FRANCISCO
Came here on a rainy evening with Nancy who was craving soba noodles. As we approached the door, we knew we would have a long wait. There was a lot of people waiting during prime dinner time. Although there was a wait, it did not feel like we waited that long compared to waiting for a Chinese dimsum restraurant on the weekend. The food was … Continue reading Izakaya Takasei

I woke up in the morning unsure of what I … Continue reading Hanzo Ramen (2)
I rarely cook, but that’s because all the recipes I was taught were made using Asian vegetables and seasonings. Although there is an Asian aisle in grocery stores such as Vons or Ralphs, they do not have the ingredients we typically use. I occasionally frequent Hmart for their Asian vegetable: Yu Choy or A-choy. I know that 99 Ranch (or Ranch 99) also serves these … Continue reading Tokyo Central (1)
‘travel to a foreign country with someone you just met’ If you had told me that I would do that, I would have said to you “yeah right, stop joking”. But in 2017, that was exactly what I did. I don’t consider myself a very adventurous person because I’m always thinking of the consequences. But this time, I went #YOLO and took off to Bali, … Continue reading to: bali
