| | | On our way back from the desert, we stopped by West Covina for Malaysian food. This place Penang hide in a small corner in a giant mall with Chinese supermarket and restaurants. It’s surprisingly huge inside. We spent more than 15 minutes trying to consume the thick menu, because everything look so ...

So we came here for breakfast only (we stayed next door). Beautiful pool and very designed, but I think our next door pool (just as nice) was bigger and more comfy. Farmer’s ... Read More | | | | | | Went to Palm Springs over the holidays. It’s not known as gourmet town out there in the desert (even though there are a lot of $$$ steakhouses), but we did found some pleasant surprises! During research, the food from Johannes during research was described as “cosmopolitan” and “Pan-Asian-Austrian ... Read More | | | | | | Centro Basco specialized in Basque cuisine. Basques is a small region between the border of Spain and France that has their own language and culture. Seems like this place is a gathering place for the community of Basque people in LA. Most of the customers are white hair elders (men with beret hat ... Read More | | | | | | It’s holiday time so we’re very behind in updating. A&J Noodle is known to have very good Taiwanese Beef Noodle. We tried to come here in the past but it was closed (on a Wednesday). Appertizers: Pickled Cucumber, Seaweed. The Pull Pancake is hot and fluffy. Chinese Beef Burger is juicy and q... Read More | | | | | | One week after Joan went to Animal Restaurant, I gave it a visit too. On the website it saids their menu changes daily, though it seems like my night was pretty much similar Joan’s night, with some slight tweaks. Love the Animal Lunchbox at the bar! We got there at 6 so the place was still empty. ... Read More | | | | | | Kruang Tedd is one of the few Thai town places that try to have “ambiance”. It was dark and romantically lit. After 8pm there was a band playing 70s soft rock and retro Thai music (one of the customer requested a song and sang on stage herself). Perhaps because of the recession, the place was pretty... Read More | | | | | | Food adventure time! A group of us ventured out to Little Saigon for Vietnamese pub food (Quán Nhau). Dinh Thieng is located at a mall. After 9pm, the lights inside would dim down with disco ball lights spinning and girls performing karaoke on stage. The clientele made up mostly of men, many we... Read More | | | | | | We went to John O’ Groats for breakfast, a popular local favorite. Their menu is traditional heavy hearty diner food in huge portion. The Pumpkin Pancake sounded good but I can never eat more than one piece. They let me order just one piece, perfect! Huevos O’Groats $12.95: menu saids it’s featu... Read More | | | | | | We tried another fairly new restaurant on the westside - a Japanese izakaya/sushi bar called BiMi. The Asian Tapas sign and the quoted disclaimer came off a little cheesy for me. The sushi chef was from Matsuhisa, but BiMi is much more affordable. Sushi are generally $6-7 for each order. We were o... Read More | | | |
