Life is too short to be standing still! Follow me as I visit as many places as I can... food, shopping, destinations!! If that destination includes an Anaheim Ducks hockey game? Well, heck, that's even better.

After 6 years, I said goodbye to my Jeep and hello to a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan, which I was told was a mash between a Tiger and Iguana. My car needed the windows tinted, so after looking at yelp reviews, I came across the Window Tinting, located in […]
National Fried Chicken day was Friday, July 6th but Disneyland Resort took it a step further and had the Fried Chicken Festival for the entire weekend. There was no additional perk or discount, but if you purchased a fried chicken dinner, you would get a commemorative button at […]
Happy 4th of July! This year America’s birthday landed on a Wednesday, so unless I took the Monday and Tuesday prior, or the Thursday and Friday after, I only had one day off. Stephen and I decided to spend it at Disneyland (despite the 90 degree heat!). We […]
In January 2018, Disney California Adventured closed the Paradise Pier section of the park to give it a rebranding called Pixar Pier, where everything is themed with characters from the Pixar movies. Last weekend, the pier reopened, and in the rebranding was the Lamplight Lounge, formerly the Cove […]
Established in 1948 (in Japan), this tiny restaurant is tucked away next to Shout, a karaoke place, in a non descript strip mall with a huge parking lot. I discovered this place on yelp when I was craving udon noodles. Don’t expect this place to have the speediest […]
I was going to the Brea Mall and wasn’t really craving the food court for dinner. I went on the mall’s website, and saw that they had a Shabu restaurant. Nestled between the Macy’s Mens and Home Store and the Red Robin restaurant is HaiDiLao Fusion Shabu restaurant. In […]
Happy 55th Anniversary to the beloved attraction, The enchanted Tiki Room. On Saturday, June 23rd, to commemorate the anniversary, Disney was selling a park exclusive Tiki Room Funko at both Disneyland and Disney World. My friend Chrissy was going to be out of town, and really wanted one, so I woke […]
Cajun seafood in a bag… this seems to be “the” way to eat the garlicky crawfish, shrimp and other crustaceans. The Crab Shack is trying to make a name for itself, and they have 3 stores: 2 in Gardena, and 1 in Carson. Roger and I decided to meet up […]
The event is free, but it’s also one of the hardest ticket in town to get. It’s our 3rd year of attending but we were really lucky. I almost gave up on getting tickets. I forgot to log on when it came out in March, but fortunately the Wednesday prior to […]
Huzzah!! A Hainan Chicken place that’s not only legit, but saves me from driving to LA for my fix. This tiny restaurant is located in the Rowland Heights area, in a shopping plaza to the right of the 168 Supermarket. If you can’t wait for one of the […]
The Pizza Press in Fullerton is another “build your own” pizza place, but this place also serves craft beer.. the bonus in coming here versus Pieology located around the corner. It’s a little hard to find, as there’s no real big sign off the street. They’re located on […]
When I have the chance, I try to support the small business. This new Funko place is located at 14181 Newport Ave, Ste D, Tustin, CA 92780, and opened up a few months ago. It is located off the 5 freeway, in the same tiny strip mall where Gyu-Kaku is, so […]
I was in South County and hankering for some Tallarin Saltado… not the green pesto version, just the “normal” one with chicken or beef. This place popped up on Yelp with decent reviews. It wasn’t easy to find because it’s tucked in a non descript strip mall, behind a Walgreens. The […]
MFK means “Modern Filipino Kitchen” and Aysee is the owner’s grandmother. I have driven by this location multiple times, and never knew it because it really is hidden. It’s near the corner of Magnolia and La Palma, sandwiched behind a convenience store and an Ethiopian restaurant. If you […]
Karen and I collect Funko toys and the new headquarters is located about 40 minutes north of Seattle in the city of Everett, Washington… just a stones throw away from Boeing. After we left the Starbucks Reserve Roastery, we made our way north, stopping halfway in the city of Edmonds for breakfast at […]
Karen and I left Pike Place and went from the “first” Starbucks store to the first Starbucks Reserve Roastery. Located at 1124 Pike Street, the first Starbucks Reserve Roastery is located in Seattle’s vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood. The new facility takes up 15,000 square feet and offers taste tests of […]
Good morning, Seattle! It was Karen’s first time in Seattle, so we had to visit the famous Pike Place Market. In my prior visits, I knew it would be very busy, so we decided to get there by 8:00, before the tourist and tour busses arrived. We were told […]
