Cafe Massimo located at the heart of Rodeo Drive. It's a tiny little Italian bistro, but really cozy insdie and food were great.
Nebres and I visited Rodeo Drive during new year holidays. Robert wanted to see if we can run into movie stars, Karin just wanted to get out of the house, and I wanted to go get my LV Passy 
. it has been almost ten years since I visisted Rodeo Drive - Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel still looks the same-grand and full of that fantasy from the movie Pretty Woman. I wonder how many people would actually visit Rodeo Drive in hope of finding that handsome wealth prince charming.
I've been busy these days - behinds on updating my blog.....I am going to try my best to bring you all up to date.
I went to this Japanese restaurant with Penn's family few weeks ago at Old Town Pasadena. This place is one of our favoriate family lunch place. Very authentic food, friendly staffs, and most importanlty this is one of the few places Samuel is willing to sit still allowing us to have lunch
If you get sweet tooth and like Oreo cookies, I would recommond you check out "Joe -Joe's Candy Cane cookie" from Trader Joe's.
I think it has a cutiest name "Joe-Joe". It tastes almost like oreo excepts it isn't as sweet as oreo and also has candy cane peppermint flavor. This is a perfect cookie for Christmas season. Go check it out! It also comes with other flaovrs such as "peanut butter"
Thank you, Smalln for the lovely Cuban dinner.
Mom and Dad prepared me a nice meal on Friday to celebrate my birthday. Although it is still few more days to go, but since we will have some guests stay with us for the next few days....(
)...they wanted to celebrate it earlier. This is first time for many years since I celebrate birthday with them - It's nice.
No birthday celebration can beat a fresh sashimi, hot sake and love from parents...... (okay maybe sisters night out.....)
Mom and I visited this Shanghai place few weeks ago in San Gabriel. It's so yummy. I've wanted to post it on my blog for a while- but was lazy lately.
What's your favoriate coffee place? Mega Starbucks Chain, peet's coffe or local Mom & Dad coffee shop?
For my daily morning coffee - My favoriate is Illy Coffee, but it's rarely avaialbe in West Coast. So Tully coffee has become my new love, but now it's hard to find in Southern California. I again settle for Starbucks as my daily run.
I bought a key lime cheesecake for Trader Joe's yesterday, and we had it for dessert after dinner tonight.
After being feeded spirtually at the church this morning, it's time to feed my stomach with yummy food. I was watching food channel this morning making fresh arugula salad - that's what I want for lunch. I visited this new french bakery in Old Town Pasadena. I discovered this new french bakery, Le Pain Quotidien last month. I've bought some bread from here before and it was great, and have been wanted to try their food for some time now.
E&O Trading is one of my favoriate restaurant in San Francisco. It's a trendy Asian Fusion restaurant. Karin and Robert brought me here in late 90th, and it has become a place I would take my out of town friends for dinner when they visit SF. I also took my staffs here for Christmas dinner one year, and also recieved a raving review.
The restaurant is decorated in South East Style. Bamboo wooden floor, over sized lantern, and candle light setting.
I love Martini. I had too many Martini this weekend @ SF.
My martini feast started this Thursday, few of my old pals went to a small bar near work. - EZ5, and I had a best Lychee Martini ever (sorry- I forget to bring camera). Vodka with fresh lychee juice and two real lychee. Munsieng had a great idea and ordered some chinese fried wings & egg rolls from the restaurant across the street. Lychee Martini & Egg Rolls is perfect combo!!!!!
Everytime after a plane ride, I always feel like having a hot Chinese soup - although I've lived in U.S for 16 years, I guess I still have Asian stomach.
KK has craving for Chinese stewed beef noodle soup, so we decided to have a quick lunch at A&J Restaurant at Cupertino.
My one case of V Sattui Gamay Rouge arruved today!
V Sattui is one of my favoriate winery in Napa. It's a very casual and family friendly. We like to buy a bottle of Gamay Rouge, some baguette, fresh cheese, and foie gras, then have a picnic outside their picnic area. It's one of the must visit place in Napa, plus the wine tasting is free here. I've recommended so many of my family and friend there. My co-worker, Gabe and his family are hooked to this place, especially their Gamay Rouge. He has joined their wine club, and we somtimes would trade their wine with each other. Mom, Dad, and Karin also visited this place last week.
Debra and I went to Mitsuwa for a quick bite. We both ordered Bento Box. I love Bento box, becuase we get a bit of everything, plus it's so colorful.
As the countdown of my last day at work continue - Grace, Debra, and I went to Islands Restaurant for burgers as our WaMu three lunch musketeer's last supper together
. Both of them have been my lunch pals for the past year, we tried restaurants after restaurants around the area. We enjoyed lots of different cuisine, and also gain our own share of weights 
.
