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,…
Ronin Izakaya
First off, I’m super happy people think my pictures qualities have improved to the point of d-slr quality! I’m sure thats an exaggeration but still, I’ll take it where I can get it. It’s probably multi-factorial. For one thing, I was previously linking picture thru the blogger upload picture function. Somehow the pictures were blurry…
The Little Next Door
So I’ve been wanting to try this place for sometime, but Dumpling Man is not a fan of the frenchy stuff. So I was just waiting for the right friend to come along to suggest a nice brunch place to try. Unfortunately we didn’t make it to the place until after noon at which time…
Myung Dong Kyoja
To my 2 readers, I apologize for the lack of updates. I have been “overworked” and I’ve been forgetting my camera like crazy. It’s very hard to document everything that you eat. Props to all the real food bloggers out there. Now on to the good stuff! Apparently Myung Dong Kyoja is actually a restaurant…
Dumpling 10053
The dumpling man and I have spent the last 3 years searching for the best dumplings in the SGV. Our favorites, in no particular order, are Din Tai Fung, Luscious Dumpling, and Dumpling 10053. The latter is probably my favorite. Conveniently named after its address 10053 Valley Blvd. Those China ppl, soooo creative! Haha, jk. This place has…
Cake Weekend
To celebrate a birthday and a wedding this weekend, some cakes were in order. The first cake was as delicious as it was beautiful. I had heard of this bakery called Sweet Lady Jane over the years, but never had any occasion to buy anything from there. I read on yelp that the “Triple Berry…
Overworked. Underfed.
