Brodard Chateau, Garden Grove, CA
It was my mom’s birthday and there’s only one place she likes to go – Brodard Chateau.

Archi’s Thai Bistro, Las Vegas, NV
One of the reasons I love travelling for work is that I get to eat out at different restaurants, all expenses paid. 😀 What’s even better is when I have family in the city I travel to and they take me to great restaurants that they know for sure I won’t be disappointed. …
