Stardust Lunch (Venice)

//// By in 15: Venice

The place I’m working at for the past weeks ordered lunch for us (free of charge). They’re usually ordered from nearby local restaurants. Here’re some from past few days.

Bi-Burger $8.50 Veggie Burger with Natural Mesquite Smoked Turkey Breast: Melted Mozzarella, Mustard, Balsamic Tarragon Vinaigrette; the veggie “patty” is a bit too mushy…not chewy enough.

Halie Wine Bar & Bistro 112 (Pasadena)

//// By in 02: Pasadena

DSC01492.jpgGirls night out. We went to this cozy lounge at Pasadena which has a club downstairs. Thus after 10 pm the floor thumping loud beat and muffling sound creep through from down below and got very annoying. The music sounded bad. The bistro and lounge patrons are a different crowd from the club-going crowd (which were mostly young Mexicans). The hostess and waitresses are all very amazingly high-quality…fashion model quality beautiful and dressed sophisticated and sexy.

Thanksgiving Dinner

//// By in 01: San Gabriel

DSC01478.jpgDSC01477.jpgWe don’t want to settle for the same old boring turkey every year so we tried something different. We get Shanghai food this year. Hidden Treasure Duck. This is heavenly~! The ‘hidden treasure’ are sticky rice, they’re soaked with duck flavor and sweet fig. So YUMMY~~ The other one is Dongbo Pork, the most unhealthy but delicious dish named after the famous poet/artist So Dong bo. It’s sooooo fattening (look at that inches tall pork oil skin) but doesn’t feel greasy at all! Amazingly good! btw no get-away this Thanksgiving holiday, because we’d be re-modeling our room next week so we have to pack EVERYTHING out of our room, which is a major nightmare. I have cumulated hundreds of CDs, toys, books and magazines…my god…
