Banh Mi & Che Cali Bakery

It’s been a while since I’ve eaten Banh Mi…literally years.  Banh Mi is a Vietnamese sandwich comprising of a french baguette, meat, pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber, cilantro, jalapeño, mayo and sometimes, pate.  Mmm-yoso had several posts on this Vietnamese sandwich which started a craving.  Then I spotted someone at work chowing down on one [...]

Kyochon Chicken

Kirk over at mmm-yoso blogged about chicken wings recently and mentioned Kyochon.  I realized I still hadn’t blogged about my experience with this place yet. While exploring the new Zion Korean market off Beach Blvd (still labeled Fresia when I went)  in Garden Grove, I saw this place inside near the entrance.  Since I didn’t [...]

Unlike Manna, the place we frequent up in LA, New Seoul is a self-serve buffet.  This is [...]

Well, so far this place is the closest I’ve gotten to [...]

While we were waiting for our friends, Dan and I enjoyed a hurricane off their cocktail menu.  It was strong and yummy and not very expensive.  We also noshed on [...]
