If you ever go to Bangkok, you HAVE to go to the Siam Paragon Mall. You may say to yourself, why would I want to fly thousands of miles to go shopping? This is true, some of you world travelers look down your nose at people who “waste” time and money to do all the things…

Now to resume my culinary tales through Thailand… After Bangkok, we headed north to Chiang Mail. Chiang Mai differs from Bangkok on many levels. First of all, the weather is considerable cooler and drier, dry in that the humidity is less, but it rained a whole lot more. Secondly, the hustle and bustle is toned…
Seongbukdong
The Pouter knows whats up when it comes to food. She was the one who recommended Seoul Garden to me and I have loved that place ever since. So when she raved about Seongbukdong, I knew it had to be good. What is this strange sounding place, you may ask? Well Seongbukdong specializes in galbijim…
Hiko Sushi
So I actually came to Hiko for a birthday treat from Smooth Obturator and Triple T. Hiko had been on my radar for some time after some really rave reviews from Ghetto Booty Talks A Lot. This was many years ago, when he said Hiko was some of the BEST sushi he has ever eaten. …
J&J
For all of those tired of the updates about Thailand, this one’s for you… The San Gabriel Valley has no shortage of dumplings. In my experience, most of the dumplings are just OK, never really achieving that yum-inspiring lip-smacking deliciousness of Luscious Dumpling, which I am convinced has to use MSG. Most taste like something…
Nara
So from Phuket, we headed toward Bangkok. Here we would partake in the wedding festivities of my dear friend Bruin Bear. Bruin Bear is NOT Thai, but she got married in Thailand. Awesome, I know. Awesome for us guests, since we got to eat and party for a couple days straight. Because the wedding took…
Savoey
So after the previous nights less than impressive seafood, I got lazy and did not take pictures of the ONE meal with what ended up being the best tom yum kum soup I’ve ever tasted and freshest most tender prawns in red chili sauce. What I believed to be Aroonsom Food Park, was actually probably…
Ban Hat Rawai
After a long day of doing absolutely nothing at the hotel (ie: gym time, pool time, beach time, jet skiing, massages…torturous I know!) we figured it was time to get out and headed 45min south toward the tip of Phuket Island to Promthep Cape to check out the beautiful sunset. The long hot muggy ride…
Sea Hag
Apologies for my absence from the blogosphere. I’ve found myself at a bit of a transition in my life, ending one chapter and starting a new one. Hopefully, this next chapter will leave me less overworked and underfed, which will allow for new and different food adventures. To kick things off, I’ll be blogging about…
Honda Ya Izakaya
Honda-Ya is located in the Little Tokyo Mall in Downtown Japan. It’s a sad mall, with only a few saving graces such as Beard Papa’s and restaurants like Honda-Ya. I like Japanese people. I like Japanese cars. I like Japanese food. I don’t like how Japanese sit on the floor to eat. I was reminded…
Seoul Garden
There are few times in my foodie life when other people show me the good places to eat in town. Usually, it’s the other way around since I make it my mission to know about and dine at all the best spots in LA. So it was really nice to discover something delicious in Seoul…
A&J
Even though Irvine is packed with Chinese people, the Chinese food is still inferior to that in the San Gabriel Valley. The SGV is more like bleeding Chinese people, so that probably explains the difference. This was my first time at A&J which is a Taiwanese restaurant, I think. They serve dumplings, noodles, small cold dishes,…
Overworked. Underfed.
