Saturday...

This morning I had to drop off my dad to a party in Sunset, so on the way home I went by Starbucks to buy a white chocolate mocha and a banana pecan walnut cake. Then I went to Hilda's bakery hoping to get the UBE taro rice cake, however it's already sold out, so I got the hopia and salted egg. I never tried the salted egg, so looking forward to try it. The lady in line ahead of me said it's good, so I'll give it a try. After I got home I remember my coworker told me about a recipe for Omelette, so I decided to make myself an omelette for lunch. It turned out okay and never tried omelette with ginger. And didn't realized that it's so hard to flip an omelette w/o breaking it in half. I guess it takes practice. Making the omelette reminds me of the omelette rice, maybe next time I'll try to make the omelette rice. That's it for now, wishing everyone a wonderful weekend! (^__^)

P.S. Forgot to mention I also tried to make the Chinese Spicy Cucumbers and it turned out pretty good. (Probably because I like persian cucumbers, lol). For the Chinese Spicy cucumber I found the recipe online.

LA trip...

Last week I went on a short ship to LA to eat and watch TVXQ concert with some friends. Indeed LA is a great place to find good eats, the food was great. We ate twice at Korean town, went to BCD tofu house, the dinner set was cheap and good, I had the seafood soon tofu with vegetable bibimbam. The second time we went to The Road to Seoul for Korean buffet BBQ, good food, good music and good price. We also went to Newport Restaurant for Lobster, we ordered an eight lb lobster along with some chow mein and veggies and it was way too much food for the three of us. After stuffing myself w/lobster meat, I tell myself I'm not going to eat lobsters for the next couple of months. ^__^  We also went to the city of Ventura and had the mushroom swiss cheese charburger at The hobit and I love it, so delicious! Their sweet fries and onions rings are yummy too. Also went to Bottega Louie for lunch and desserts, the portobello mushroom fries, king salmon, chicken salad are all so good and I love the atmosphere there too, so clean, the design so simple yet comfortable. After lunch we moved to the dessert section and order some desserts, I highly recommend their macaroons and desserts, so good! I can't wait to go back to LA and get myself some more macaroons! I can go on  and on about the good food in LA especially the boba drinks at Half & Half.

The concert was pretty entertaining, great dancing performance and nice music videos and overall a pretty good experience of KPOP concert. My second time going to a concert and everyone stands up during the three hours show!!! Concert overall is not my thing, I rather spend the money on something else. 

Due to the Asianna flight crash, our flight got cancelled and had to stay one extra day in LA. Glad to be home and finally feel better after recovering from the lack of sleep. 

Time to have dinner! Have a wonderful week ahead. ^__^

Happy Sunday!

Treasure Island Flea Market...

Today is Saturday I finally had a chance to take some time to make my coffee with the Chemex dripper I picked up from Blue Bottle. I takes a little longer than usually to make my coffee, but it was fun! Afterwards I went to Treasure Island Flea Market and it was a candy to the eye, so many stuff to see. You can find lots of antiques there. Lots of vintage cameras, typewriters, coffee grinders, medal pins, cups, etc,. Lot of jewelries, clothing and hats. It was fun, I spent two hours there! There were lots of food trucks parked there, I chose the tofu bun with bao chips from the Chairman truck. It was okay, very interesting and healthy! Anyways, it was fun at the flea market, so if you have a chance, check it out! ^___^

Using my Chemex to make coffee this morning

De Young Musuem...

I took this picture while I was at the De Young Museum which I really like! It's nice to go to De Young Museum and check out the different exhibits and must go to the observation floor where you can see a 360 degree view of the west end of the city and half of San Francisco. 

I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. Proverbs 8:17

Coffee...

Today I made coffee with the coffee beans from Sight Glass. It was pretty good, very sweet and smooth. Here are a step to step process on how i made my coffee this morning:

1st - start out with some honey

2nd- Add sweet creamer to the honey and microwave it for 20 seconds

3rd- Pour the coffee into the cup and coffee is ready to drink

The coffee blend I picked.

Sesame Mochi Bread

Last weekend I had some time to try out the sesame bread mix I brought at a Korean supermarket. The instructions were fairly simple, just add the mix to a bowl, add 1 egg and 2.5 oz of water, mix it all up and put in on the baking sheet. Sounds easy right? It sure was! The sesame mochi bread end up to be pretty good, it's a little crispy on the outside and very chewy in the inside. I also brought some pumpkin pancake mix, will try that once I find some time to bake.  ^__^

Have a wonderful weekend!
