Back Home

For spring break I went back home to Norcal and ate at my grandparent's house. My grandma made garlic shrimp, mixed vegetables, and marinated slow cooked pork. It feels good to eat at home again!!



Even though spring break went by like a blur, it was still nice go spend time with family and old friends. Now, its back to school and a brand new quarter.

Quick Bites

Ghetto looking place called Creme Pan was suppose to have amazing pastries. I went there to try them. Were they amazing? Not really. But it was above average I suppoooseee. This was called a Yakisoba Sandwich; which was basically chinese noodles stuffed in bread. It was only 2 dollars but it wasn't that great.
melon puff or something like that
their famous starwberry crossants: yummy!!! it had a lot of creme in it and the crossant melted in my mouth. I'd come back just to eat this.
This is from the food court Sobahn Expres Korean Cuisine next to H-Mart. This is bulgogi bibimbap. You get realllly full from these but I think it only tastes good if you add a shitload of that red sauce to it.
Japchae- clear vermecelli noodles with bibimbap stuff on top. Its a good alternative to rice because they put a special sauce in it to make it taste yum.

I seriously need to find more places to eat at at late hours of the night! wahhh.

Fun with food

I went to Brian's work on his day off. HAHA. The chef recognized him and said: "So you came to work on your day off?" lol. Ate teppanyaki for lunch. I ordered scallops and new york steak, and he ordered filet mignon and shrimp. Our chef was really nice and the waitresses too.

While cooking everything, he stacked up some onions and poured something in there to make it light up like that. Pretty entertaining.

My new york steak with shrimp

scallops and zuccini

The fried rice was really really good. They fried it right on the grill. It tastes good with the sauce they give you too!

Sweet Tooth

Roomie Melanie and I decided to attempt to make creme brulee one day after school. It acutally worked! The ramekin is spotted because the sugar got burned after I put it in the oven. Hopefully next time it comes out cleaner and prettier. But it tasted good! Not bad for our first time.

Later that day I felt like making cupcakes. Devil's Food cupcakes! I put chocolate pudding in the middle because i wanted to see what would happen, and this is what happened.

On right: happy cupcake, us when midterms are over!

Sage Restaurant: a disappointment

Me, Michael, and Angela went to Sage Restaurant in Irvine for restaurant week. We had high expectations. Too bad the food was just...alright.

started out with complimentary fruit

and bread

I got the farmers market avacado salad, lots of grapefruit and orange on 2 pieces of lettuce.

Michael got the BBQ pizza, can't really go wrong with BBQ pizza right? WRONG. tasted like bread drenched in white wine. Really not good. I couldn't taste BBQ at all...all I tasted was white wine. So sad.

I got the enchilada. Um...it was lukewarm when the waiter took it out. Isn't enchiladas suppose to be somewhat spicy? Like at least a little? Well it wasn't. It was boring.

Angela ordered the Eggs benedict. The potatoes tasted pretty good, except it was drenched in oil. She said the eggs were alright.
Dessert: Strawberry shortcake. It was more of a creme puff with strawberry syrup and some starberries aroundit and wipped creme. It was probably the best thing out of the whole meal. I liked it.

Bread Pudding- basically it was a brownie. Don't know why it was named bread budding when it looks and tastes like a brownie. haha.

Don't go here. We payed $15 for the meal, and I don't think it was worth it. I can't imagine paying full price for this sh**.

:D

That one day we decided to eat a lot

This was a random tuesday or wednesday during the quarter where me and brian decided to make a lot of food. This is what resulted. And NO, it wasn't just me and brian eating. Angela and Theresa also participated, sort of. heeehee.

Lazy handrolls haha

salmon!

Melanie made me yummy smoked salmon pasta from scratch!! thanks melanie!

Eating Crepes on a Sunny Day

Went to another Restaurant Week restaurant called Lulu's Creperie Cafe in Laguna Hills. Really cozy and cute French place. After the meal we were SUPER full! and guess what...only ten bucks! I want to go back and try their breakfast omelettes.

Caesar salad

French onion soup

La Francaise Crepe- Chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and mushrooms

it was really big and pretty good but a little heavy on the cream. It was basically swimming in sauce.

Strawberries and Nutella Crepe- SO good! too bad I was too full to enjoy it fully.

cheesecake

Wish I was 21 already

Went to this restaurant called K'ya Rooftop Lounge in Laguna Beach for OC Restaurant Week. It's located inside the La Casa Del Camino hotel so you wouldn't really know about it since theres no sign. Only $10 for a 3 course meal! Only for Restaurant Week though. When we first got there, no one bothered helping us. Service: sucked. All the waitresses seemed too busy to care. We had to wait for seats, but after 20 minutes of waiting we decided to just sit on a side table instead of a real table so we could actually start ordering food. Then we waited some more for a waitress to realize we didn't order yet. Pros: the VIEW. spectacular!!! It was a nice, not too hot but nice and sunny friday, and the restaurant overlooked the ocean and you could hear the waves and watch the water sparkling while you ate. Ideal of romantic dates! hint hint. haha. I saw so many people sip on drinks it made me reallly want to be 21 so I could get one too!


anyways, this is what we ate:


Mixed Greens-Roma tomatoes with an herb vinaigrette dressing

Shrimp Club Sandwich

Hibachi Salmon

Fresh Berries with Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
