Seattle Souvenir

While in Seattle, I picked up some cool souvenir (an apron and a bear hat)! Two places I liked the most were Pike Place Market and Tillicum Village, which I’ll blog about soon. I’m really considering moving to Seattle! The seafood is superb!! I’m also in love with my aunt’s super huge kitchen…makes my tiny [...]

Pazzo Gelato

Today, my husband and I decided to WALK to the Farmer’s Market in Silver Lake (Sunset Blvd). After walking around, I started to crave something sweet. I always drive by the area and see a massive crowd around Pazzo Gelato, but never got to check it out. Well, I finally got to try their gelato!!! [...]

Aji Fry

I normally love making hearty meals, but sometimes I’m not in the mood to cook. For days when I don’t feel like cooking, I have frozen Aji fry in my freezer. All I have to do is take it out and fry it. Pretty convenient, right? I buy a lot from the Japanese [...]

Beef Buns to the Rescue

I’m not much of a superstitious person, but today is definitely Friday the 13th for me…
My morning started out by breaking my “today’s menu” statue man (he can be seen here in his original state). He was in the middle of the counter, a safe area, but somehow I managed to knock him over and [...]

Potato Chips!!

I normally don’t do a lot of crazy things, but I had a major craving for potato chips and went overboard! I find chips in stores to be too salty and when I make them at home they get soggy. I love Kettle Brand chips, but it’s too salty for me! Even the lightly salted [...]

Chopsticks Practice Kits

I have a friend who’s really bad at using chopsticks. Her birthday’s coming up, so I wanted to get her some kind of practicing kit as a gift and found this cute Panda Darake Chopsticks Practice Kit. I know I’d be motivated to practice if I was presented with all this cuteness

There’s also [...]

Best Delivery Pizza

Do you have a favorite pizza delivery place in Los Angeles? I know I do! I’ve tried a few places, but nothing compares to Garage Pizza in my opinion. Their pizza arrives in perfect condition and is never soggy. I’ve always been a New York pizza type of girl, so their New York style thin [...]

New Favorite Knife

I found a new favorite knife!
My old shun knife needed sharpening, so I needed an extra knife while it was shipped out. While I was at the Japanese market, I saw that the Kyocera Ceramic Knife was on sale. I’ve always wanted to try the ceramic knife, so I paid around $60 and got one. [...]

Baking School

I went to a local baking school today and learned how to make Soboro Bread (Soboro Pan – 소보로 빵), a type of streusel bread. I only tried soboro pan from my local korean bakeries and never tried them fresh, so this was a great experience. When they’re fresh, they taste even better. I’ll post [...]

Kyoho Grapes

I’m addicted to kyoho grapes. They’re currently in season and easy to find in Asian Markets around Southern California. Kyoho Grapes are supposedly a Concord-like cross between Campbell and Centennial grape varieties. They’re great for your body and they taste delicious! If you get a chance, check out these grapes!
