Feng Mao Mutton Kebab

we ordered 50 kebabs combo + noodles + beer for $99. we latter figure out it's actually cheaper if we order it separately. what the heck... this place is kinds small and not a lot of people, but i would recommend their lamb kebab. too bad i didn't order internal organs and i think i'll come back for it next time.

馬家清真館

i love their beef hot pot! a lot people like their sesame onion pancake. i am usually not a fan of it, but their pancake is good.

The Promenade Shops at Dos Lagos

it's actually a shopping mall and there's a man-made pond right next to it. the construction is beautiful. remind me of the Mastro building in vegas~ lol~ there wasn't much people that day, i think maybe it's too far away from the city. but it's a lovely afternoon to hang out. the bridge also lights up at night which i think it's worth visiting. i just wish there are boats to row in the pond for visitors~

The Habits

the 1st time i had the habits is at santa monica and i've always want to try it again. now it's grand opened in chino. the line was always busy all the way while i was there. i had the tri-tip sandwich and teriyaki burger. i love both~ i just wish they could cut the tri-tip into bit sizes, so it's easier to eat.

Roman Cucina

4 ★★★★ for the ambiance and the service
3.5 ★★★ for the food
$$ 30 and below
i came here with my girls. it's located in downtown fullerton. i love the decor! they have a lot chandelier on the ceiling and it's pretty romantic. it's a cute little place to dining around fullerton. their menu selection is kinda small and pretty much old fashion, i ordered their shrimp scampi. it's pretty good and the portion is big. but i would not recommend their dessert. i had tiramisu and it's awful... it's a bit dry and no coffee taste.

Trader Joe's

Chocolate torte from Trader Joe's!
i added the bananas myself and heated it up in the microwave for 15 sec. Delicious!! the torte is very rich, but not as soft as the one i had in summit house. i also tried Trader Joe's panna cotta, opera cake, and tiramisu. Tiramisu is one of my favorite!!

$$$ 50~100
valentine's dinner~ i ordered their Sunday dinner prix-fixe menu for $40 dollar. the bread was soso~~ i felt i would get it in a grocery store...
asparagus soup. i actually wanted their soup of the day which is the beef shoulder. but they bring up the asparagus soup instead....
foie gras.
they cooked with strawberry~ how unusual~ it brings out the sweetness~ interesting~
Duck Magret roasted with red wine. i love the meat, but the pear in the bottom is a bit bitter. i should get the sea bass which i was intended at 1st~ b/c i latter find out it's actually their speciality...
babe had the lamb chop~ can't go wrong with the lamb chop in French restaurant. it's always good~
the cheesecake souffle. a bit too sweet for me...
creme brulee. it has 2 layers, chocolate brulee at the bottom. love it!
the ambiance was lovely~ babe happy v-day~ ♥ ♥ ♥

Curry House

i love curry house's tofu cheesecake. but a lot of time they are sold out when i visit. they start to have a lot of new menu and this time they have Jambalaya seafood pilaf. anyway, i didn't order anything i said above. i stick w/ curry~ lol~ i think i love all the dishes curry house have including the spaghettis.

Road to Soul

all you can eat bbq for $19.99
i love Korean bbq, but i can't have too much, b/c every time it gave me a stomachache afterword... orz.. they have beef rice cake which is something i don't see in other bbq. it's quite interesting, remind me of bacon wraps. they also have whole squid, beef steak, & intestine.

Frisco's

frisco's girl~ they wear roller skates and roll around while serving. i've been here couple years ago and felt the dinning experience was so much fun. they used to do some dance during the meal, but this time we didn't see any performance. the interior was retro w/ car seats design.
chicken sandwich. not bad~ didn't really came here for the food, but for the experience and we actually got a deal from groupon, so our meal end up to be $1.60~ haha~

New Port 新港海鮮

this place has been re-renovated. i think the new model looks a lot more young and hip. they also design their pager as a lobster. how cute!!
the real lobster~ ha~ i always order the lobster everytime i come. it's the best i ever have. i heard their curry crab is also very good.

Chinese new year eve

we decided to get food from 三合 and ate at home. there was a line at 三合 and i waited in line for 30 min. why is it so popular on this day! it's a must to watch 春晚 on Chinese new year, but i felt it's kinda boring. i remember i used to watch 紅白 before which i enjoyed a lot more.
