70-cent cheese rolls? I AM SO THERE! I’ve been going to Porto’s for years at their other 2 locations in Burbank and Glendale, so imagine my excitement when I found out they opened this Downey location in September ’10. Saves me the far drive! The words “cheap” and “delicious” usually don’t belong in the same …

Cheap Eats Around Orange County, CA
In case you haven’t noticed, I eat out quite a bit. 😉 And it adds up quickly! That is why I’m always on the lookout for cheap eats, whether I seek them out or find them by pure luck. So I’ve been racking my brain (as well as my tummie’s food database) to …

Tous Les Jours, Garden Grove, CA
Tous Les Jours (I don’t even want to pretend I know how to pronounce that) is surprisingly spacious for a bakery that sells only bread and cakes. And they don’t even have a large selection of bread or pastries like Paris Baguette or Porto’s Bakery. I wonder how they can afford rent selling …

Paris Baguette Bakery Cafe, Cerritos, CA

‘The Avengers’ Kicked Ass
Just as expected, The Avengers totally kicked ass. One of the best movies I’ve ever watched. Anyone who says otherwise is just criticizing for the sake of criticizing. Just let Hulk smash them around like he did with Loki. 😀 I love a movie that combines a ton of action and witty humor, mostly …

New Tarts at Starbucks!
I have the worst sweet tooth so I’m always on the hunt for sweet treats like pastries, butter toast, ice cream, etc. That’s why places like Porto’s and 85 Degree Bakery get me every time. Even good old Starbucks. Starbucks is never really known for having the best pastries. But recently there’s this new …

Jean Philippe Patisserie, Las Vegas, NV
This place is a pastries heaven for me, however, it is way too overpriced (as are most restaurants in the Aria Hotel). $5.75 for a small little cinnamon roll? I remember having my first iced mocha drink here for more than $7! The problem is, for certain types of iced drinks, they only offer in …
