We are always in search of new dumpling places. I stumbled across this place on yelp a while ago, but there weren’t that many ratings at that time so I was not willing to take a risk on a potentially crappy restaurant. Since then, this place has amassed a good following for being good and…

Eating My Way Through Memorial Day Weekend
The H.o.P. strikes again! We did what we do best, EAT! Here’s the quick rundown: Holiday weekend plans in my house always seem to revolve around food, especially when my sister is running the show =) On the way to running some errands, we stopped by a papuseria, or maybe it was just an El…
JiRaffe
So to celebrate my birthday which was well-forgotten by the majority of my family, especially my mom who didn’t even remember to call me the day after like my brother and sister-in-law, but like a whopping 2 or 3 weeks later! Safe to say I was annoyed and unreceptive to her apologies. Anyways, my brother…
Messob
Long ago, someone amongst my foodie friends decided “Let’s eat Ethiopian food!” The excitement soon simmered into a hot mess of complaints and excuses ranging from “That lemony bread is kinda weird” to “I don’t feel like having GERD tonight” to “I don’t like eating with my hands” to “I want something soupy instead” to…
LA Paella
It has been quite some time since my last true blog entry. You can consider my recent post on Yu Chun as just a little freebie to my “starving” readers, who have expressed longing and sorrow over my notable absence from the blogosphere. I actually went to and blogged about Yu Chun some time ago. …
Ludo Bites @ Royal-T Cafe
This post is soooo totally delayed. I’ve sorta abandoned my blog as I feel like my camera takes subpar pics in those poorly lit restaurants. Fortunately these pics were taken by WonTuan’s SLR. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the food as well since this meal took place months ago. But I shall try… I first heard…
Red Corner Asia
So I used to be a big fan of Palms Thai. Between Elvis, the hours, the plentitude of seating, and the delicious food, how could you ask for more?! Plus, a thai friend in med school gave Palms here seal of genuine Thai approval. When someone with 5 syllables in their last name says a…
Hide Sushi
I’ve been on a blogging hiatus as of late. I’ve had some technical difficulties with my camera. I’ve just been feeling like the pics are subpar and so haven’t been as motivated to post pics. I’m in the market for a better camera, but darn these things can get expensive if you’re looking for a…
Kogi Taco Truck
So I thought I was one of the last people to try Kogi, but apparently there’s still tons of people who hadn’t even heard of Kogi until recently. One such person is my old roomie. She too is a foodie and I remember when we first started rooming together she told me it was nice…
Marie Callendar’s Fresh Strawberry Pie
Anybody who knows me, knows that I have a penchant for this particular pie from Marie Callendar’s. It’s always been tradition to have one of these on my birthday. I was luckily born in April which is the beginning of strawberry season and boy did I reap the season’s bounty year after year. My mom…
Providence
Boy was I looking forward to eating here all week long! After watching Top Chef Masters, I made a mental note of all the LA top chefs and all their restaurants so I could eventually try them all. So that would include Jar, Ludo Bites (no longer at the Breadbar by my house sadly), Campanile,…
