LA Wine and Food Festival
The Wine and Food Festival was interesting. I did some wine tasting, but not too much. Cat Cora was doing a cooking demonstration in the show, who is from the Iron Chef on TV. I bought her book in the show too.
No commentsJoyce’s kitchen in LA


I cooked tonight. I tried to get some vegetables in small sizes, but is impossible! Everything is in large size here. I made Matzo ball soup, Stuffed Eggplants and Penne with tomato sauce.

I had something heavy again for the dinner. We had a nice dinner in El Cholo, which is a Mexican restaurant opened since 1923. The food is nice but I find it a bit too rich. The portion is super large! I guess I eat too much these days…
Moonshadow
I had brunch in Moonshadow today which is a restaurant Mel Gibson had drinks before he was arrested. The sea view is good. Of course, the food is great! I chose something very light as I really don’t want to get myself too filled up. Everything is in large portion here. I hardly find any small dishes here, but the dish I had today which is exceptional.
Aphrodisiac
A restaurant where you can eat on bed……Aphrodisiac …..Music is great, and the interior design is cool. Of course, it’s also a very romantic restaurant.
Thank you!




Cravings

We had Beijing cuisine for Carrie’s birthday dinner. It was a well-known Beijing restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui. I could never find it without my friends telling me where it is. This restaurant is located inside an old building with many Indian shops around. It was totally packed. We reserved a table at 9:30pm, but still needed to wait for it. It was a long queue until 10:30pm. It is a very popular restaurant but I found no web site on net though.
No commentsScoop Icecreamy
I like the idea of this ice cream store. Three steps of choosing what you like for your ice cream…
1) Your flavour of ice cream
2) Three choices of mix-in and there are so many choices! I chose fresh mint, M&M and Blueberry with strawberry sauce for dressing
3) Chocolate cone or cup

Many people eat it for fun. It attracts people watching. I felt a bit funny of taking photos how the owner did the ice cream. I asked him if I could take photos of what he was doing. He said “sure!”. A little kid was standing next to me, and watching me how to take photos of it. He must thinks…”this woman is so weird!”
South Beauty!
Wow! I enjoy my eating experience very much in South Beauty tonight, which is a well-known Chinese restaurant chain from Beijing.
It’s located in Lee Garden. They don’t only offer cuisines of Shanghai, Xi Chuan, Beijing and Canton, and also many creative food ideas. Their interior looks like an old Shanghai theatre.
Look at this hanging pork dish! It doesn’t only look good, and also taste very good. The garlic and sesame sauce as well as sliced carrot are all wrapped by a piece of pork slice, and being served as a pork roll. We missed to try a creative dessert named “Four Treasures of Chinese Scholar” (English name on their menu) It means four major writing tools of Chinese Calligraphy. The set includes paper, brush, ink and ink stick. They transform this idea into dessert, but unfortunately, we couldn’t try it tonight, as it has to be ordered in one day advance.
