Why I just can’t quit blogging

February 15, 2012 Los Angeles

I’ve been debating quitting for months now. There are clear moments when the decision seems real and finalized: That’s it, I’m quitting right now, I tell myself with conviction. There are murky moments when I wonder if I should quit, and I weigh the pros and cons of blogging, mope a little bit, and tell [...]

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 [...]

Weekend ED Series: How do I know if I’m recovered?

February 5, 2012 eating disorders

This is the 46th post of my Weekend ED Series. It’s also probably my last. I’m not entirely sure. There may have been things that I’ve missed. After all, there’s always more story to tell. I might one day have a sudden inspiration and decide to add another post to the series, but for now, [...]

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” [...]
