I was shopping at MadPoppin and spied Gerry’s Grill across the parking lot. The logo is a swordfish holding 2 beers. Is it a bar and grill? a burger place? a fish place? Uhhh actually its a Filipino restaurant. The only other Filipino place I’ve been to is […]
Back from vacation, and it’s good to be back home. For the most part, the UK has plenty of American comfort food, but there’s just some things I missed and American breakfast food is one of them. Being a bit jet-lagged, I was up early enough to beat […]
Nando’s is a worldwide Portuguese flamed grilled chicken restaurant chain founded in South Africa. Their chicken is seasoned and marinaded in a peri-peri sauce. It’s Portuguese in origin and made from crushed chilies, citrus peel, onion, pepper, salt, lemon juice, bay leaves, paprika, pimiento, basil, oregano, and tarragon. […]
The Great Court Restaurant is located at the top of the grand staircase, on the 2nd floor. I made reservations for Afternoon Tea at 3:00 and we were sat in the back patio of the restaurant, which was more quiet, and had more natural lighting. Prior to booking, […]
The British Museum has one of the largest collection of artifacts from around the world, especially their Egyptian collection. We’ve been to Cairo, Berlin and the Met in New York City, so it was essential that we stopped here to check out their collection. Best of all, the […]
Today is our day to visit the British Museum. I yelped a place for breakfast, which was appropriately called “The Breakfast Club” but found out it was an extremely popular place. There was a line out the door, and was estimated to be at least a half hour […]
Even though we had a long day, we still had to eat. Fish and Chips was on our list of things to eat while in London, and I found the Golden Hind that was about a 10 minute walk from our hotel. The place was in the middle of […]
Included with our Stonehenge Inner Circle experience was a tour of Oxford University. As we left Stonehenge, the rain was right behind us. Supposedly, a part of Harry Potter was filmed there, but they were having a graduation ceremony, so most of the access was closed. There are […]
Good morning, Edinburgh!! It’s day 4 of our trip and we are on our own to explore Edinburgh. We had tickets for the Castle at 9:30 and decided to yelp a place nearby for breakfast. The Coffee Mill came up with decent reviews, and they had the Scottish Breakfast, too! […]
It’s Tuesday, so it’s Taco Tuesday and Happy Hour at El Torito at the Outlets of Orange, which is available only in the cantina from 3:00-9:00. The taco Tuesday was a decent deal. For $2.99 per taco, you order with the cantina waitress and she gives you a […]
So, Side Chick is not easy to find. It’s in the Santa Anita Mall’s EAT area next to Nordstrom (the door is next to Monkey Bar) or inside the mall its to the right of Din Tai Fung in an enclosed small food area. Past the long line […]
This little Curry restaurant is located in the same shopping strip mall as Lucille’s BBQ, next door to Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ. Parking can be a bit tricky, so if you can’t find anything, park next door at Toys-R-Us. Kristina from MadPoppin recommended this place and said it was […]
I grew up in Palos Verdes area, and passed by this place hundreds of times as I ran errands, went to my dentist, or (remember this) get my photos from Longs Drugs. Fast forward 30 years, and my parents wanted to take Stephen out for his birthday. Rather than […]
We normally get something to eat in Vegas before heading back to SoCal, but decided to grab a bite in Baker instead. We looked up places to eat, and Baker has all sorts of fast food from McD’s to KFC, and then they have the “famous” Mad Greek […]
I stopped here with coworkers for lunch. The food isn’t the best I’ve had but the price is fair and you get soup plus a drink! I had the 2 item lunch combo, and chose 2 chicken enchilada (red sauce) and it came with rice and beans. The beans […]
WHAT? No Taco Tuesday at this location?? I wonder if this is a franchise and not owned by the corporation? Regardless, I came to the one located off Jamboree on a Tuesday evening and maybe it was good there’s no Taco Tuesday. The place was busy but not […]
There’s so many Shabu places in SoCal, and yet Cal Shabu survives the test of time. I discovered the original California Shabu in Fountain Valley probably 15 years ago, after the original co-owner Taka, who worked at the Shabu Shabu House in Little Tokyo in downtown LA, opened his own store in […]
