ucla grub

How do UCLA kids stay fit after eating dorm food? I REALLY REALLY don't get it. They have like so many effing cafeterias and on top of that, little cafes all over the place that are open LATE NIGHT all the time, just luring people to go there to eat food! After visiting my best friend at UCLA, I really can not understand how people manage to cleaverly disguise their massive food intake. When we went to eat late night, a shitload of people were there eating away their cheeseburgers and chili cheese fries, and oreo shakes, including ourselves too. This was only 3 hours after eating dinner, so yea..... couldn't really finish much of it. But, it was an eye opening experience of dorm food at UCLA.

After food coma, we went to visit the beautiful library! I wish I brought my books so I could have studied there!

best friends since 02 :)

Sushilicious

Sushilicious is a revolving sushi place. SOooOoo with that in mind, it wasn't bad. Definitely better then Kula. The waitresses were very attentative and friendly too. The food was whatevers. If I had to choose I probably wouldn't go back unless someone else suggests it. But it seems like a nice place for a group of friends to hang out though!

Below is the Scallop Roll.

Also, one cool thing about this place is that it has bottomless vegetable tempura! only 9 bucks and you can get as much as you want. We ordered at least like 5 rounds of it haha.

Tuna Sashimi
Salmon Sashimi

thanks josh

Me: Josh, cook us some food.

Josh: Fine.

So he came into our kitchen and turned it upside down, and the result is this. Thanks Josh it was good!! hehehe.

old vine

Old Vine Cafe in Costa Mesa- located in the middle of all those cute/hippy stories at CAMP.They are famous for their breakfast foods. It was actually rated the best restaurant in OC in 2009 according to yelp, so I though I'd give it a try. Don't come here in on a Sunday around 1 pm, otherwise expect to wait at least 40 minutes. So finally me and my friend Josh get seated to eat. The waiter was SUPER friendly and nice! Josh ordered some sort of breakfast combo (below). The portions are huuuuge!! You will not leave hungry for sure.
I ordered the Omelet Espana which had prosciutto cheese, red bell peppers, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and more cheese. The omelet was huge and I could taste the perfect amount of saltiness and flavor of the ingredients really well. It came with a generous side of potatoes and a piece of toast with homemade jam! The overall resturant was cozy and had a really nice relaxing atmosphere. It's a really good place to catch up with a friend. I really enjoyed my meal here, definitely worth the 40 minute wait.

Fresh squeezed orange juice!

milk + honey and starberry pie!

I always think of Milk + Honey's "cucumberade" on a freaken hot day. Its lemonade with a tiny bits of cucumber in it and it tastes like cucumbery lemonade. Its REALLY refreshing. Also, shakened peach ice tea with lychee jellies and aloe vera iced tea with aloe vera chunks is good too (shown above)
My friend Mary tried the fresh berry sandwich, looks good!
This is not from milk + honey, its the strawberry pie from marie calenders. Theresa's favorite. Got it for her 21st Bday cuz its her favorite!!! Why is it so good? It's just a bunch of strawberries in a pie crust. I REALLY DONT KNOW WHY ITS SO GOOD, but it IS!!! Maybe its the yummy strawberry syrup then mix it all around in, just maybe. I really don't know their secret. It's just GOOD. Thanks Michael and Tree for introducing this wonderful creation to me.

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.
