Father's Office minus the burger. Blasphemy I ...
[via Sherry R]
Oh my, it’s been a year. A year ago I came to this Father’s Office and had the burger. Fantastic burger. During this fine time, they served fries in little shopping carts which we may or may not have stole. They have since discontinued the carts. Coincidence I tell you!
Well, FO is just as popular as day 1 even on a rainy Wednesday. We chatted over our first beer and...

AOC. More twists than Shutter Island.
[squid ink risotto via fifi l of yelp.]
me: I’m taking you somewhere nice for your birthday. him: Does it start with A and end with OC? me: I hate you. For our group birthday dinner, AOC was a no brainer. We probably drive by AOC twice a week. Pored over the menu a dozen times yet never stepped foot in. Too pricey? Too ritzy? Too special for a weekday dinner? Whatever the reason, I was...

Sacrificing taste for pretty people.
Saturday brunch makes me feel mature.
After having a nice girly mani/pedi morning, the girls decided to meet their mens for a late brunch at La Grande Orange in Santa Monica. How suburban. Service was pretty fantastic considering we all arrived at different times and didn’t put in our order until the last person arrived. Given the crowd that was growing by minutes, our waitress was...

See you in my nightmares
Spoilers Alert!
The inconsistencies we tend to overlook. The truths we choose to disbelieve. Are we the viewers just as willing to be fooled? Is there beauty in ignorance? But the clues are there. Never subtle. Never in hiding. The repetition. The jarring truth thrown in our faces. “Baby, why are you so wet?” The scene where he holds Dolores and she’s bleeding in the...

30% off Sushi Mondays @ Yabu
I’ve been excited all week because I thought Yabu changed locations. Thought they moved down the street from their little hole in the wall on Pico and I was dying to check out the new digs.. Turns out all they did was add a huge banner and a bigger nameplate :-/ Ha! Tricked me.
Well played Yabu, well played.
As much as I enjoy ramen and pho, there’s days when I just want something...

“I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just...”
– Misery Business, Paramore
I will wait for 200 years
二百年後再一起 應該不怕旁人不服氣
誰人又可控訴廿個十年 仍然未捨棄
換個時代再一起 等荊棘滿途全枯死
這盼忙很悠長 撐到尾
就算貧病或失憶 都爭口氣從旁保護你
頑強地等再過廿個十年 等整個世界換風氣
歷劫還是再一起 這種堅決無人可比
看戰事多悠長 亦決心打到尾 心不死

Seriously?
[The Pork Osso Buco *cough* via yelp]
I must preface. Service was 5 stars all the way. Both our waitresses were excellent. Given that we only had 45 minutes to eat before the John Legend concert, they knew when to bring our bill, pace our food, and get us through the side door directly to the theatre.
And the bread was amazingly good. The decor was beautiful.
And that’s where it stops....

The other Zo. Less famous. Unrelated. Still good.
He said, “Let’s go to Sushi Zo” I balked at the idea of going to Sushi Zo. It’s gonna be at least $150/pp and it’s only the first day of our Valentine’s weekend. It’s a Friday. We don’t just go to Sushi Zo on a whim. I didn’t even throw up today. And not to mention, I’m thrifty. And by thrifty I mean, why don’t we save this money...
