Friend's Wedding

Los Angeles River Center & Garden
this place is actually where my prom night at! what a surprise! omg..brought back my high school memory. anyway, came back here for my friend wedding! the place was beautiful, didn't realize that back then.

Olive Garden

i haven't eat at olive garden for a long time~ since i often hard bad comments about this place, it's not my 1st choice on Italian restaurant. i guess the only one way to find out is to try it and the food actually turned out pretty good. the pasta is similar as macaroni grill and i think is even better than Maggiano's or Buca. Maggiano's & Buca just got big portion but not really to my taste.

Heritage Park

i heard this park from my co-worker and checked it out over the weekend. This park was really nice. a lot bigger than i thought with good photo spots. Obviously the place is for kids, but i think it's a nice place to stop by for a walk.

McKinley's Grille

4 ★★★★ for the ambiance and the service
4 ★★★★ for the food
$$$ 50~100
i forget to write about it until now. we went to McKinley's Grille for mother's day dinner. we got $75 gift certificate from restaurant.com when spending over $150. it's located inside Sheraton hotel. the place looks nice, but it's very empty since it's a hotel restaurant. their main entry is decent. the steak is flavorful. but we all got the same side which is kinda boring. i also like their cream burlee. they severed in 3 flavors including the regular, raspberry, and chocolate. but i would not recommend their ahi-tuna. it's dry, hard and tasted bad. their appetizers are just so so as well. their service was nice and i enjoyed the meal, but i probably won't come back again w/ the price i am paying. For a hundred buck, i rather try out other steak house instead.

Summer BBQ

4th year bbq. time flown~ it's the 3rd time i attended the event. every year we have bbq at the same beach~ too bad that day was a bit too cold... we went for board game at friend house afterward.
