Sorry for being on hiatus, again. ๐ I won’t make up excuses, but instead, here are some yummy food pictures to make it up to you! ๐ So, I took my parents out to dinner at a fancy restaurant on the hill to celebrate a belated Motherโs Day, an early Fatherโs day, and my …

Catching Up on Food
I apologize for being such a lazybutt for the last month or so and not blogging all these restaurants I’ve been to. You know how life catches up to you sometimes, and you get caught in the whirlwind of it all. I have been keeping busy with my photography hobby so I’ve kind of …

The Original Tops, Pasadena, CA
Love burgers, fried foods, and huge portions that can feed a village? Welcome to the Original Tops. ๐ Original Tops is a fast food restaurant that serves giant sized everything. Being a first timer here, I aimed for a “safe choice” and got a cheese burger, bun-less. So it’s the patty, lettuce, tomato, …

Brodard Chateau, Garden Grove, CA
It was my mom’s birthday and there’s only one place she likes to go – Brodard Chateau. She likes the fine dining environment, cleanliness, quiet ambience, friendly (clearly trained) customer service by young waiters and waitresses, and of course, the food. We started out with two sets of appetizers of seafood egg rolls …

Matties Delectable Desserts, Winter Springs, FL
It’s Friday, and while I’m having headache-inducing coffee withdrawal (trying to wean myself off), I figured I’d make someone else’s day with a little surprise. So I got the most popular and delicious chocolate and vanilla cupcakes from Matties Delectable Desserts and had them call my friend who works nearby and let him …

What don’t they have here? ๐ Snow Monster is a cute and cozy little desserts restaurant tucked away in the corner of a shopping plaza. They specialize in flavored shaved ice desserts. Like ice cream, but lighter and fluffier, and you can have so …

Pho Dakao, Anaheim, CA
I came to Pho Da Kao because my parents have mentioned they make good chicken pho. But since I’m not that big on pho, I thought I’d deviate a little and order something a little more meaty and less carbs-y (or is it ‘carb-y’?) Bun thit nuong (bun = vermicelli, thit nuong = …

Pho Lover, Fullerton, CA
Do you know what is popping up everywhere these days, other than Starbucks on every block? Pho. That’s right, pho. Pronounced “fuh”, not “foh” or “faw” or “po”. I simply do not understand. Pho (Vietnamese rice noodle soup) is usually not my first lunch or dinner choice. Maybe I just grew up eating …

Hu Tieu Thanh Xuan, Westminster, CA
I was craving for something noodle-y soup-y and it was either egg noodle or glass noodle (hu tieu) for me, my two preferred types of noodle. They’re tastier to me than vermicelli and pho noodles. Hu Tieu Thanh Xuan came to mind because they have both. It was either this place or My …
