Pot stickers @ JJ Noodle House in Rowland Heights, CA JJ Noodle House has fastly become one of my favorite restaurants. It is probably my favorite Chinese food restaurant close to home. I wish I got a picture of the xiao long bao! They were so cute and small.

Uni + Ikura @ Kantaro Sushi in Torrance, CA This was my first time having Uni (sea urchin). I was a little scared at first because it looks like the tongue of a mummy, but i’ve curious for way too long to let that stop me. I liked it! I don’t know if I’ll be ordering it at happy hour, but I did enjoy it. It reminded me of those dungeness crab “brains” you eat, which I loooooooooooooooove.

Chirashi Box @ Kantaro Sushi in Torrance, CA My boyfriend took me here because he says this is where native Japanese people come to eat their sushi in Torrance. And it was true! The other patrons in the restaurant were mostly speaking Japanese! The place is run by a man and woman. The man cuts the fish, the woman serves it. It’s so simple, and they don’t have or need a million things on their menu. What they serve is just good stuff! If you go to sushi restaurants to eat rolls, this is not the place for you. And if you’re a raw fish lover, I must warn you that the fish is strangely warm. It’s not bad for you, it’s just how they serve it! I want to go back and have the omakase! They don’t serve it during lunch :(

Corned beef and hash @ Firehouse Cafe in Los Alamitos, CA We found this cute little cafe through Yelp. My boyfriend was fiending for some eggs benedict, so we decided on this place! I enjoyed it very much!

Donuts with Irish Coffee Cream @ Sadie in Los Angeles. The donuts were impeccable. Semi-hard shell and pillow soft inside. The coffee cream tasted just as it sounds, but we expected more for some reason.
