Tina is getting married this weekend so last Friday a group of us went out for her bacholerette party. Freda got the duck which is very good. The meat is so tender. There’s sweeten kumquat on the side for extra flavor. Delicious!

I got the mussel and fries (who came up with such combination?), the white wine broth is heavenly! The mussels are tiny though, well at least there were a lot of them. Scallop with spinach, very good too!

The Cream puff desert is hard and so-so. They gave us free shots (lemon drop?) since we have a glowing bride-to-be!

The tamale mexican food signs are probably vintage signs they collect, it has nothing to do with their menu. ^^;;; There’s also chicken, ahi tuna salad and pasta…but the pix turns out not so good..^^;; Also, originally we were supposed to have dinner at Cafe Stella, but the waiter there was incredibly rude and refused to give us a bigger table. So we changed course and went to Dusty’s down the block instead. Last time I wasn’t so impressed with their dinner (though that might due to certain unpleasant person) but I enjoyed their lunch.

Bibimbap, Clam soup noodle, very good!
DSC06817.jpgAs I mentioned we were working on our condo during the Thanksgiving holiday, so we lunch at nearby Korean restaurants. I’m not sure if I can get use to this as regular diet, the taste are too strong and too spicy. I felt my taste bud got number.

Albae’s Restaurant (Koreatown)

Spicy Seafood Noodle, their signature (?) dish on banner picture. Soup good but not the seafood.

Spicy Rice bowl, so spicy that bascially a chilli sauce rice by the end.

Soy bean Cold Noodle and Bean Sauce Noodle. The soy bean cold noodle is the most cleansing and lightest tasting thing I’ve had…in fact a bit too ‘light’…too icy too. I think I’d stick to beef for Korean food.

Juldagen Mugs

teacup_anthro.jpgI might as well start documenting as I ‘fill up’ my empty condo. I spotted these mugs from Athropologie and love them! I got the apple x2 and flower x2. 😀

Crepe Vine Bistro (Old Town Pasadena)

//// By in 02: Pasadena

DSC06799.jpgDSC06801.jpg
Potato, Cheese with garlic and shallot. Grand Manier, Orange and Butter
DSC06796.jpgOld Town Pasadena is like the hang-out central for the San Gabriel valley suburb residence yet there is not ONE French cafe/restaurant in sight for the longest time. Finally there’s one and it’s..=_=;; The Potato crepe is supposedly their name-bearing signature (but it’s just ok-ok). Vero ate their seafood dish before and she said it stinks…ouch!
