Green Island


Cantonese style cafe, just like Garden. it's their 2 years anniversary and they give free eel stone fried rice when you order $30, or beef stone fried rice when over $50. we aimed for the beef rice and that's the best dish out of all.

Chicken Now!


located inside the Arcadia mall. i ordered it b/c i want to eat grill cheese. but it is not grill cheese at all!! it's just a toast with butter on it.... at least their chicken was good, but for $8 bucks? maybe no next time...

La Petite Crêperie

4 ★★★★ for the ambiance and the service
4 ★★★★ for the food
$ 30 and below
crepe lover~~ this place made crepe out of wheat. the location looks kinda ghetto, but the decor inside is nice. i ordered the asparagus w/ Proscuitto. the crepe looks appetizing, but wheat crepe taste so dry... just wish they could add some sauce on it. and i love their press coffee!!

Cherry Blossom @ Lake Balboa

cherry blossom season~ there's couple cherry trees in the park, and it's lovely. the park itself is pretty big with a big pond in the middle. but there wasn't that many cherry trees. they all looked kinda small... but it turns out nice in the pictures.

Cafe Bizou

4 ★★★★ for the ambiance and the service
3.5 ★★★ for the food
$$ 30~50
i came here for the squid ink pasta~~ i order the shrimp w/ scallop black spaghetti w/ lobster sauce. i can't really taste the squid ink since the sauce is too strong. i also tried the monk fish w/ risotto~ interesting~~ it tasted just like regular fish fillet.
we ordered the tiramisu, creme brulee, and bread pudding. the dessert is okay~ i had better one at other places.
