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 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 [...]

Ole Mole!

November 2, 2011 blog meet-up

The first Mexican literature I’ve ever read is “Like Water for Chocolate” by Laura Esquivel. (Picture credit) I loved this novel. I had just moved to the United States from Singapore, and it was the first time I got introduced to Mexican food. It’s kind of a running theme for me to be introduced to [...]

Wine & The City, Video Wrap-Up

October 28, 2011 eating out

It’s my birthday today! I can do whatever I want! So I’m forcing you to watch this silly video that wraps up the Santa Barbara trip: After wine and fun, we were definitely well-fed and well-buzzed, but the time clicked “dinner” so we drove back down to downtown Santa Barbara for our last supper. Tracy [...]

Boys Have Cooties

September 14, 2011 dinner event

It seems like every girl is having guy problems these days. Just in the past two weeks, I’ve heard from at least five of my (girl)friends bemoaning a guy for sending mixed messages. “Why didn’t he ask me out?” “Why didn’t he call?” “What did he mean by that?” Relationships are complicated. But when it [...]

Punched by a Granny

September 7, 2011 eating out

Yes, you read right. I got punched by a granny. A barely 5-foot-tall, hunch-backed Korean granny, no less. I’m sure you all have had those “What the—?!” moments. That was one of them, and for some reason I’ve been having plenty within this week. The assault by the darling old lady was just so completely [...]
