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” [...]

A Magic Carpet Dinner

November 17, 2011 eating out

A sibling relationship is a bit more complicated than that of a parent-child relationship. For a typical (not messed up) parent-child relationship, it’s a straightforward kind of love. You know your parents will love you no matter what, and in a way it’s a selfish kind of love because you expect them to care and [...]

A Little Tokyo Day Trip

November 14, 2011 eating out

It’s a silly running joke between my internship director and me that I’m obsessed with Little Tokyo. I’m really not. I do love Little Tokyo, but I somehow hang out a lot there just because all the new hip restaurants somehow seem to cluster around that little neighborhood north of downtown Los Angeles. Also, it’s [...]

The Bunny’s Fat Spoon

October 16, 2011 dinner event

It’s amusing how much you take after a parent, from the shape of your eyes, the width of your nose, to your personality and interests. As much as I would love to have inherited my mom’s sweet gentleness, I mostly take after my dad. I have his temper. I have his stubbornness. I have his [...]

Mission Impossible: $300, five stomachs, one P.F. Chang’s

September 2, 2011 dinner event

I remember when I first visited a Chinese restaurant in America. It was in New Jersey, and I was 12. At the time, I hadn’t emigrated to America yet; I was merely accompanying my parents to their mission trip in America, and I was in New Jersey visiting my then pen pal, Joanna. Joanna’s mother [...]

Nothing like Family

May 16, 2011 eating out

I’m home!!!!!! Not home as in the lemon tree home, or even my new apartment, but in some random cheap hotel near LAX Airport. But it’s home because I’m finally reunited with my family!! My parents arrived in the afternoon in a rented mini-van. I was wiping the floors of my now bare room when [...]
