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 Super Biased Post by a Brainwashed West Coast Apple-Lover

November 27, 2011 eating out

Just a couple weeks ago, I was a proud and obsessed owner of an iPhone 4G. I even wrote a post dedicating my love to it. Now I’m a disgruntled owner of a “gently used” Droid Incredible that I bought via Craiglist, from a person who upgraded into an iPhone. In other words, I downgraded [...]

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 [...]

What’s that stink?

October 12, 2011 eating out

I once made the faux pas of telling someone that I think Mexican food is messy-looking on a plate. “It’s just goops and dumps and sludges,” I said oh-so-articulately. The person whom I said this to looked at me with an expression that snapped, “Yo mama! As if Korean food is any better-looking!” Oops. I [...]

The Top Chef Made Me Sandwiches

September 27, 2011 blog meet-up

If I had to choose, I would choose watching a TV series over a movie. I’m a big TV person. Ironically, I don’t own a TV (I watch everything on Hulu or Netflix). But yeah, I never like a TV series—I get infatuated with it. Thankfully, like all infatuations, I can hop from one object [...]

Chill Pill in My Neighborhood

August 30, 2011 blog meet-up

Last Wednesday was the day AT&T (after 5 hours of haggling and being put on the hold and transferred) had promised me that they would re-activate my internet. Last Wednesday was the day I went back home excited to have my internet service back. Wednesday was the day I waited, and waited…and waited. At 9 [...]
