Harry Poter Movie

it almost came to the end. the last one split into 2 parts... i kinda hate that. i thought i am about to finish it but guess what! there's actually one more to go.. urg... this episode is a bit slow and a lot talking. i think i like the pervious one better while Harry still looks cute and small.

Fire + Ice Brunch

we tried our this restaurant on their Sunday brunch. it's all you can eat Mongolian BBQ style. basically you pick whatever you want to grill and they stir fried it for you. they also have omelet and pancake.

Crab dinner

we saw crabs for only $2.99 per lbs when we were shopping at H mart in Diamond bar. since it's been raining over the weekend, we don't wanna drive too far, so we decided to do some homemade cooking. it took us a while to figure out how to kill the crab after researching on the internet. =v=

Manhattan Steak

4 ★★★★ for the ambiance and the service
4 ★★★★ for the food
$$$ 50~100
another deal to try out! we get pre-fix menu for $30 only! it came w/ salad, petite filet, and creme burlee for dessert. there was a b-day party going on, so it's quite noisy that day. otherwise i think it's a romantic spot if you wanna spend the night with your date. the food was great for the price we are paying. But i looked at their regular menu which would cost $40~ for steak entries. it could at least $100 bucks per person without the deal. @~@

Rock & Republic Sample sales

i think i should stop coming to sample sales.... sample sales means spending a lot of money... even though it's a lot cheaper than what you'll get outside... i got a mid-calf jean, and a skinny jean.
$ 70 there's zipper on the back
$ 40 the bargain i found!

The Counter

i've finally ate the counter. since i don't usually come to the west side, there's a lot food i have been waiting to eat for a long time. counter got customize hamburger. you get to pick what ever you want to add on the menu. i chose 1/3 lbs. beef with grilled onion, lettuce, tomato, and roasted corn with garlic sauce. people here are mostly white, i think we were the only Asian there. .. @~@

Bar 210

we went to bar 210 for a friend b-day. as we waited for our friend to come, there's one mid-age guy came to offer me a drink. he called himself from the Gipsy Kings. i haven't no idea until my friend told me Gipsy Kings is a band. haha~ i didn't recognize his face at all. i checked out their song afterward, it's acutlly not bad. Bar 210 is next to Plush. we arrived early and have to waited until 11pm for Plush to open for the dance floor. the dance floor is kinda small. but we got our own table, so we danced around it. it was a fun night, but i think it wouldn't be fun w/out the table reservation, it would be too crowded. i think i am getting too old for this. i felt so tired the next day and it took me a day to recover....

The Envy Steak House

4 ★★★★ for the ambiance and the service
4.5 ★★★★ for the food
$$$ 50~100
Vegas = non-stop eating!! we went to dinner at Envy Steak house. it's the biggest dinner i haven't had for a while. it's located off the strip, but since the rating is pretty good + we got coupon from restaurant.com, we wanna try it out. everybody recommend their truffle fired. so we ordered it as well. it is very good!! the truffle taste is strong. i had the rib eye, Oscar style. all i can remember is that the portion is really big. the mean is tender, but i wish it got a stronger grilled taste to it.
The night followed with La Reve show after. we found a deal online w/ $44 dollar discount on the ticket. everybody is comparing the O show w/ La Reve. I guess they are kinda similar b/c their both dreamlike. But I enjoyed La Reve as much as I enjoyed the O. The best I love about La Reve is their begining and ending. i hope it's alright to post the photo since i saw everybody else was taking photos after the show. @~@

Jean Philippe Patisserie

then i went to Bellagio for dessert~~~ i've been craving for the crepe for so long~~~ this time i save room in my tummy for it~~ i order the souffle mixed berry crepe w/ chocolate, i always get the most deluxe one. i didn't know it's $ 2 extra for adding the chocolate sauce~ awww... the crepe become $12~ so pricey~~
the garden is about the fall & pumpkin~~ they have pumpkins weight 900 lbs~~ i wonder if they exhibit it every year.

Joe's

4 ★★★★ for the ambiance and the service
4 ★★★★ for the food
$$ 30~50
we went to Joe's for lunch located inside Forum Shop at Caesars Palace. I've passed by this restaurant many time but never know about it. it's actually pretty famous for it's stone crab, originally from Miami. i think the crab claw is pretty cute with black claw in the front. we had the large carbs, the meat is pretty fresh and juicy, but not as sweet as the waiter described. i didn't really check the price until latter. it's actully not cheap! LARGE STONE CRABS for $52.95!!! wow... i guess once in a while for me is good enough.
I ordered the bacon wrapped scallops which they called "Filet Mignon." it surprised us when it brought to the table. it's like the scallop STEAK according to it's name.

Halloween @ Vegas

we lived at Palms hotel this time. play boy club~ i was planning to check out the club at Palms since we got VIP pass, but there were a lot people since it's halloween weekend and we don't wanna pay to get in..... anyway~~we got spa pass with our room. the spa experience was wonderful though. the room is pretty decent w/ jacuzzi bathtub, but they ran out of king size bed, so we end up w/ 2 queens... that's kind lame... >:(
the view from our parking lot~ haha~ too bad it's not the view from our room...
we went to Hikari for dinner. we ordered the sushi all you can eat. the bar service was super fast... like the next second after we order, the food is ready. the sashimi is above average, nothing surprise me though, but it's good quality for the price we are paying.
