Kaori

we sat at the bar and had omakase style. the chef is young and what surprised me was the uni soup. it looks stylish, like a dish i would see in a French restaurant. but other than that, the omakae didn't impress me. i like the meal in little Tokyo a lot more.
oh no! where's my head.... lol

Roman Cucina

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.

Summit House

it's my 2nd time eating here. last time i was here with company dinner and this time i came for the $19 prime rib on Weds.!!! they said they have the best prime rib in the OC. i totally agree! people could thought of Lawry's when comes to prime rib, since i never been there, i can't compare them, but i love Summit House! we arrive a bit early, so we kinda looked around. the restaurant itself is beautiful with a little garden behind it. we were sited around 6:30pm and the restaurant was already pretty full. i had my cottage cut rib medium rare with cream spinach and cream corn on the side. i like their cream corn a lot, but i still think Lawry's is better. the cream spinach is a bit bland.

we ordered dessert samplers after the meal and i like the chocolate torte the best!! (the one on the right) the chocolate is very rich and smooth! and it's not too sweet. i think it's the best chocolate torte i ever had~~

Fullerton Arboretum

another cost-free afternoon~~ free admission to the park which located right next to Cal. State Fullerton. it's an Okay-size park with the section of desert and forest. there's a pond in the middle of the park wich is a nice place for picnic. but i am not sure if food is allow in the park.
Desert
it got hotter when we walked toward the desert. there were few big cactus~ but most of they are still samll. i guess it's not really hot yet. there's wasn't much crowd either and it took about an hour to finish the park.
