    Fried Seafood Udon, Beef Chow Mein, and 2x Crab Meat Siu Loung Bao (yeah we dogged one before i could take a pic…)


    fatnat5.jpg






    Fried Seafood Udon, another dish that i’ve always been ‘unable’ to take pics of. Finally, here it is. The first time i had this Churchboy ordered it, and i don’t like udon. But this was freaking good. The seafood is fresh and abundant, and the noodles cooked to perfection. We’re talking about good shrimp, fish, squid, baby boks, and scallions. deeeeelish!

    Beef Chow Mein, at this establisment, they do a pretty good job with their chowmein. Lots of sauce as you can see, and they dice up their veggies (baby corn, carrots, napa, and scallions) and stirfry it with their beef (you can also get it in pork or chicken too) and put it on top of a lovely bed of fried noodles. So far this place has not disappointed with their type of chowmein.

  • ALOHA!


    my second favorite place in the whole world (LA being the first of course ) is the lovely state of hawaii, and specifically the island of oahu.  it has what every great getaway location needs: breathtaking surroundings, wonderful people (especially the really cute surfer boys i met ) and best of all amazing FOOD!


    i was fortunate to spend a week over there last month with most of my time being spent at a conference selling t-shirts and other stuff for my friend’s company.  unfortunately for me  (but great for my friend!) the sales were pretty brisk so i couldn’t get away from our booth that often to eat.  i missed hitting some of my favorite eats: malasadas at leonard’s, mariposa, giovanni’s shrimp truck, nico’s for their furikake ahi, breakfast at boots & kimo’s and afternoon tea at the moana surfrider banyan veranda but it’s ok because a trip in october is already planned and all those places (and more!) are on the list of dining establishments not to miss.


    even though i missed a bunch of great places i was able to make it around the island a bit with my new camera and documented most of the stuff i ate.  enjoy!

    Three of us got this… it was kinda bland….
    gm6.jpg
    had to add salt…atleast we thought it was salt… 0_o msg?

    gm7.jpg





    This was Alphatrion’s order. it was kinda bland too…





    gm8.jpg

    mmmm needs sauce.

    Alpha loved the korean kiebalsa.
    gm9.jpg






    gm10.jpg

    Hey don’t think we were picking on Merdian Man, he picked this place!!!








    She liked the rice in her soup. But was not fond of the pancakes.
    gm11.jpg






    gm12.jpg

    I didn’t like the food, was very bland. Even the Korean Pancake we got was bland…and it was weird, was made out of potatoes instead of eggs…

    This is also the first korean restaurant i’ve ever been to where they did not serve any banchans…

    gm13.jpg





    - Way to stuff your face Alpha. LOL -

    damn it, I dropped my gum into my soup…doh… service kinda sucked too…maybe it was the hour in which we came? For now i cannot recommend this place. But we did have a good time, great company.

    The last time i was here was probably 2-3 years ago with mugen and boobley’s_mom. It was ok then, but people like mashi_s2k and kevinAKAmonk have been swearing by it, so i thought it’d be a good idea to hit it up. It worked out cause Dimntrg was craving pho, and mariesmist was starving after a long day at work.







    Attendees:

    Pho’d

    tea2






    phot5.jpg phot6.jpg





    so i decided to get the large pho (pronounced ‘fuh’). The meat is very fresh and sweet, however, smaller sliced then my favorite place. a decent portion, broth was good hot, and the noodles were also quite fresh. I think that overall the pho is better then my favorite place except for portion wise. mine was $5.50


    phot7.jpg





    Maria got the Beef with fried tofu over rice. the beef was very well prepared and well cooked (not overly) and the sauce was quite delicious. I will have to sample this dish in great detail next time. $4.95






    phot8.jpg phot9.jpg





    Dee had Pho #16 – $4.50

    phot10.jpg






    I forgot:






    phot11.jpg phot12.jpg





    hehehe forgot to mention we ordered the spring rolls here also (large[8] – $6.75). Crispy skin was good but the insides were somewhat lacking, but not in portion, but in taste. Maybe i’m just use to the other place? their chopsticks suck, i had to use like three chopsticks to eat….great food, great company.







    Bubble Tea @ Sago (Main St.)






    sago1.jpg
    Someone ordered me a god aweful matcha drink.

    yc1a.jpg
    First Fat Nation meeting of 2007. Decided to head back to You Chun, Korean Cold Noodle place. They are known to make their own dough for their noodles and dumplings, which are really fresh.
    yc1b.jpg






    Attendees:






    yc2.jpg yc3.jpg





    Azriha, Kinseeker, John, and Afro Kev.






    Appetizers:

    yc4.jpg






    mmmm Banchans.

    What I also like about this place is that they give you a nice pitcher of hot broth, aside from the tea and water.

    The broth may be overly salty for some.
    yc6.jpg
    yc7.jpg
     




    Main Course:






    yc8.jpg
    Kinseeker got the Octopus Stone Pot Bibimbop
    This looked and smelt very good, but i forgot to try it…but seeing as Kinseeker cleaned house on it, even after he ate at IHOP just before, it had to have been goooood.
    yc9.jpg
    John got the Dumpling Rice w/ Rice Cake
    (we all tried this and agreed we didn’t like it, but to each their own…it was like sour and spicy and just didn’t fit my pallate.)

    yc10.jpg





    LA Kalbi Ribs (these came with Afro Kev‘s Cold noodle combo)






    yc11.jpg
    I got the Fried Meat Dumplings (Mandoo)
    The dumpling skin was so fresh and crispy and they need not skimp on the innards of the tastey dumpling.
    yc12.jpg
    Afro Kev got Cold Noodles
    This place is known for their cold noodles, and it did not let Kev down.

    yc13.jpg





    Man that was some good eats yo. LOL First meeting of the year, quite successful.
    (note to self: Never let John order anything for anyone, not even himself…)
    We then proceeded to the 24/7 H-Mart and got some good korean snacks.
