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 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 [...]

Somebody stole my nuts

January 16, 2012 eating out

I had a flip-flopsy day today. In the morning, I sent off my friend Joanna (who slept over) in a good mood. I met my other friend Jordan in a good mood. I spent the whole day laughing and joking and feeling awesome and loving to all peoples. Since we had the day off for [...]

Downtown in the New Orleans

January 11, 2012 eating out

There are several things that pop into my mind when I read the words “New Orleans.” Mardi Gras beads I wore for my eighth grade dance. My family’s trip to The Grove this summer, where I had an amazing cornbread at The Gumbo Pot. The whimsical tunes on Disney’s Princess and the Frog. Anne Rice’s [...]

And that’s how we do Christmas

December 26, 2011 dinner event

I know that all of you who have celebrated Christmas and attended Christmas parties are still clutching your swinging food bellies, still groaning for the night (or day)’s festivity to subside from your system. So if it’s torture for you to view another “Look at my Christmas gluttony!!” post, this post is not for you. [...]

They say “Don’t go east of 110 in Los Angeles.”

December 9, 2011 eating out

There’s a semi-serious joke in Los Angeles: “Don’t go east of 110 Freeway.” When I took my brother and friends up Mt. Hollywood and we stood by the cliff gazing down into the vast landscape of Los Angeles, I pointed out the different areas to them easily. See those skyscrapers over there? That’s downtown. See [...]
