**ABC Seafood**
Went to China Town with my bff (Meredith) and we ended up eating at "ABC seafood" cause her dad told us that dimsum's are cheap there and the food is good. We were seated promptly and after 10 minutes a huge group of Korean ahjumma's were seated next to us. It was kinda fun...they had a little party affair going on with some champagne so a lot of giggling went on.
Deep Fried. It was very crispy and it went well with the sauce. It was quite big and long...I remember Meredith having a hard time turning it over to get to the other side XD
It wasn't anything special. Too much coating in my opinion.
We had a lot of this left-over so I took them home.
Piping Hot and Sizzling. It got me excited^^ It was also quite delish!!
We ordered a bunch of other ones but I didn't bother to take pictures anymore because my hands were a bit greasy XD But...it was indeed cheap there cause an order of shumai's (2 or 3 pieces) were around $2. It's not the most delicious thing on the planet but for the price it was decent and fairly good. I wouldn't mind going back here to eat dimsum's next time.
**Issen Joki**
My hide-away in Little Tokyo. As I've mentioned before there's only one server there...it's obachan XD Went there with my bff (meredith) before we got groceries from H-Mart. As expected, the place was close to empty. I like going there because of that. It's terrible of me but I want to keep this place all to myself. The food is alright but what I really like there is the feeling of solitude. Going there by myself relaxes me. There's no one around so private conversations feel more deep and meaningful too.
hat Meredith got. I kept stealing her tempura...
Was crispy and the sauce was good. Ordered it because I watched V6 eating this on their show that same day and I started having an extreme craving for it XD
Ordered this because I felt like eating some after watching "Begin Japanology: An Introduction to Japan's Soba"
too a picture of the "tsuyu" because the heart-shaped spring onion was adorable to me XD only to me XD
Because it's good and cheap so we ordered it too^^
**Thai BBQ**
Went with Meredith cause it was near her dad's house. I just realized that whenever I go out with Meredith to eat she always becomes the server. She divides the food and everything while I just sit there, stare and do absolutely nothing XD She doesn't seem to mind though. Well we've been bff's since HS so I think such a thing is perfectly fine besides she's good at it so why change :]
What I had. It was good and there was a lot of sate so I ended up taking them home. What is really yummy here? The pork-ribs...Meredith ordered them for herself and I kept eating them too XD I would have taken pictures of the other stuff we got but we were having a very deep and personal conversation that time so it wasn't appropriate to do so.
**Home Cafe**
I spend a lot of Monday nights here with Meredith. Sometimes I go with my sister or my cousins.
We go there Monday nights...to watch K-pop Music Shows XD
As you can see the projector TV thing is right next to our usual table.
It's extremely fun watching 2NE1 performing with a screen that big.
That Monday night Meredith and I played "Life"
Nep (her BF) came later on and joined us.
My usual Hazel-nut ice-cold latte :]
**Zion Market Food Court**
It was Sunday and I went to Meredith's dad's house to visit. Nep (her BF) was with us. We watched some TV then decided to go out to K-town and eat. It's only about 6 blocks away from her place btw XD What's weird...there was 3 of us but we ordered food good for 5 people. We had to get an extra table just to put all the food down. Some people started looking at us too XD
What Meredith and Nep wanted.
The window display was tempting so Meredith got this.
I ordered it because I wanted to eat "All you Can Eat K-BBQ" that day
but Meredith and Nep went to one the night before XD
What I ordered. The name of the shop I got this from was in korean so I have no idea what it's called.
It's korean jelly. Tendons and stuff like that so there was a lot of collagen.
I wanted to eat some seared salmon nigiri but they didn't have it so we got this instead.
Nep and I were the only ones who ate it because Meredith...doesn't really eat sushi^^
After that we went to YD Karaoke!!
**YD Karaoke**
Every time I go here there's always a group of kids singing 2NE1's songs^^
Every time we go there we always ask the guy to turn down the volume in our room a bit XD
They have a nice selection of Arashi songs. There was also a good selection of NEWS and Kat-Tun songs.
People that like to sing Japanese songs would like this place!!
I remember seeing some Vietnamese, Tagalog (filipino), Thai, etc. songs too but not much.
For tagalog (filipino)...K-box at Third/Vermont has a better selection.
We said we would be there for just an hour but we ended up spending around 3-4 hours there!! We sang a lot!! There was a lot of dancing and other crazy antics that involved the tambourines XD If you sing Korean or Japanese songs here they won't be in romaji or english letters and stuff so Meredith and I were using our phones to surf the net and get the lyrics from there XD
**Home Cafe (again)**
Sunday Night...we played Uno-Stack-O.
Meredith whined that Nep and I are ganging up on her XD
Who lost and had to pay at "Home Cafe" that night: Nep :] it's called karma^^
**Little Japanese Garden at Otani Hotel**
I go therre quite a lot too on my way to Marukai or something.
The entrance is right next to the little Starbuck's shop at ground level.
The view from the garden.
On the same floor is a Japanese traditional style restaurant. There's also a bar there.
I go here sometimes just to eat cream-puffs and drink coffee XD
It's also near Kinokuniya so after I get fangirl goods I go up here to open them and flail XD
There's a bigger japanese garden in Little Tokyo and I'll share and take pics of it next time^^
**Lunch at Grandma's**
Whenever grandma invites me for lunch she will always ask me what I want to eat then she will make it for me^^ Not only that, rain or shine, and even with arthritis pain..since I'm their only grand-kid that eats sweets like a monster...she will go out and get something sweet for me XD Even though I'm the only one visiting she will prepare a couple entries for me to choose from. Not only that, grandma will go to all the trouble of washing and cutting fruits just so I'll eat them XD SHe will also make sure to buy ice-cream (my fave!!). I'm a troublesome grand-child...but grandma doesn't seem to mind^^ Back in HS, I was able to get all the trendy and good stuff because of grandma. If there's something I want and mom won't buy it for me, I just tell grandma and she goes with me to the mall to buy it and stuff.
all that for one person. amazing!!
**Home Cafe (again & again)**
Another Monday night, another visit XD Just Meredith and I that night.
We split a patbingsoo & a cheesecake^^
We talked a lot and giggled a lot!!
I felt like we were 5 all over again :]
**Mitsuru's Cafe**
Little Tokyo's Little Japanese Village.
Right next to Sanrio, in front of Tokyo outlet.
You cannot miss this shop!!
Their imagawayaki is the most popular one but their other treats are very delicious too!!
I post about this shop quite a lot because I go there every single time I go to Little Tokyo.
Always fresh and newly made!! The red-bean filling is truly splendid.
I like their simplicity. The texture is kinda interesting too.
I love takoyaki's so I always get them whenever I see them on a restaurants menu or something!! The takoyaki's from Mitsuru Cafe are usually better than the ones from the restaurants though^^ Their batter is not too watery and they are quite well-cooked. The octopus is tender and chewy. The sesame seeds also add an interesting flavor along with the sea-weed.
My favorite!! I always buy some to take home then I eat them with kewpie & ketchup!!
It's crispy outside texture makes a wonderful contrast with the tender and juicy inside^^
**Random Stuff**
Shakugan no Shana <3
Ss retarded as it sounds, that's the main reason why i keep buying them XD
They were cheap and pretty good.
Their around $0.50 so it's a steal^^
We buy a lot of these^^ Mom, Nana and I love them!!
Not just this brand but others as well.
Put this on some newly cooked rice along with some kewpie
and you will be the happiest person in the world for a good 10 minutes :]
 .
We always have a lot of these in the pantry along with the vermont curry (but I forgot to take a picture of it) XD
Dashi stock...my sister cooks a lot so she uses them for mushroom rice, miso soup, oden and some other stuff :]
They have a lot of other variations like strawberry and green tea. My mom really likes them so when we get groceries from an Asian market we end up buying a ton of them XD They're pretty good and chewy. I want the to put chocolate inside but then that won't be a daifuku anymore....
I love this stuff so much that I always buy around 4 bottles at the same time.
Now I know why this thing is always in jdramas and stuff.
It's mayo and yet it's not mayo.
The flavor is not exactly mayo but it is mayo.
You can really taste the eggs not only that it's not as oily as regular mayo.
Another favorite thing of mine XD
I don't mind whatever brand it is so long as it's "shiso" and not "hachimitsu"
They are great to eat on top of a warm bed of rice with some crispy nori^^
**K-Box @ Third/Vermont**
It's been a while since I went to K-box. I used to go there a lot almost every single night when I was working for DirecTV because I had lots of friends that frequented the establishment to play billiards, drink and sing. When I go there I turn-off the lights, turn on the disco-ball and sing the night away. I think I drink more too when I go there than at YD Karaoke.
**Aiko-chan Corner**
She used to be so tiny that she barely reached her food bowl...now she's all big and long!!
Here she is playing with my bag. That bag is huge XD Probably over 24"
At our house you do not leave any bags around because Aiko-chan will definitely try to get inside it. Doesn't matter what kind of bag...once she gets a hold of it she won't give it back XD When guests come over...she gets scared of them but once they put down their bags, purses or whatever...she gets all excited and tries to get into them. It's bad when I get delivery or groceries cause when I look inside she's sitting there grinning at me wickedly or something XD
Here's a picture of Aiko-chan in a box...again XD
