Next Day in San Diego: Torrey Pines and Little Italy Farmers Market

February 21, 2012 eating out

Warning: You are stepping into the territory of a overly excited wannabe photographer who was convinced she saw million-dollar shots every where she turned. So be ready for a flood of pictures. I used to want to live in New York City. After all, that’s apparently the “greatest city” in America, though many New Yorkers [...]

First Night in San Diego: The Embarcadero and Gas Lamp Quarter

February 19, 2012 eating out

I made a trip out to San Diego last weekend to visit my friend Joanna. I’ve lived almost three years in Los Angeles, but I had yet to visit San Diego. I kept promising Joanna I would visit, but because of schoolwork and internships, she was the one to make the drive out to me [...]

A Culinary Gypsy Caravan at LudoBites 8.0

February 12, 2012 blog meet-up

Long-time readers will know that I eat pretty modestly. Most of the places I visit are low-key, hole-in-the-wall places. I love to “discover” a new cultural dish and as a full-time student, I don’t have the funds to visit a restaurant listed over two dollar signs on Yelp. I mean…well, what kind of eateries would [...]

The Koreatown Series: Little Bangladesh

February 10, 2012 eating out

What makes an ethnic neighborhood? Apparently, the local businesses and cold hard cash. When Koreatown and Little Bangladesh were having a little territorial tiff over a half-mile swath in the heart of Koreatown, that’s what the majority of the media highlighted. It’s all about the money, stupid, several blogs and columnists declared. Wait, let me [...]

The Koreatown Series: Little Oaxaca

February 7, 2012 eating out

You might already know that I live in Koreatown. Well, actually, I don’t. I live in at the outer edges of Koreatown, but it’s (almost) literally a stone’s throw away. I prefer to say I live in Koreatown though, because it’s better known and otherwise I’ll have to get into geographically depth, thus losing the [...]

My almost favorite restaurant in Los Angeles

February 2, 2012 blog meet-up

When I tell people I have a food blog, the subsequent question is always: So what is your favorite restaurant in Los Angeles? Well, that is just not a fair question. I don’t think I have ever answered the question directly before, because there are just so many factors to weigh in deciding the “best” [...]
