Find Your Own Filipino Favorites at Sizzlin’ Steak in Glendale

Walking through the mall can feel like you’re reliving a day that you thought you had left behind. So much that exists within the expansive space doesn’t change while the hours, days, and weeks may turn over. All the stores are the same from what you’ve remembered, the faces look the way you recalled, and

… well, before I get to that I have to tell you something about myself. I wish I was a bit more of a classy lady. Overall, I can come off as presentable when necessary, but the majority of the time I find it difficult to avoid cursing or obnoxiously rolling my eyes during annoying

International Eats: The Lucky Shamrock in Beijing, China

Not too long ago, my three cousins and I planned an international vacation.

Simpang Asia in Los Angeles

I’ve never had Indonesian food before, actually I’m not sure if I’ve ever really thought about Indonesian food before.  However, when I got the chance to check out Simpang Asia who specializes in the cuisine, I thought this was the perfect time.

Chichen Itza in Downtown LA

Keimani and I were sitting at our table and I was getting impatient. Not because they were taking long with our food, but because each second that I didn’t have my food was bringing on some sort of foodie separation anxiety. I saw myself slowly becoming a wreck when I moved our “number 14” sign

Mint Leaf in Pasadena

When I started this restaurant blog, one of the first things I did was I created a list of eateries I wanted to review. I found spots where I could explore food but most of them were in Venice, Santa Monica, Crenshaw, Hollywood, etc. What they all had in common was they weren’t in my
