Song/MV of the Day
New mv from 2NE1 – which is nothing short of drama and intrigue. “Go Away….eh, eh, eh ,eh….Go Away….eh, eh, eh, eh….슬픔은 지금 뿐이야, boy…..Cause love is over, love, love is over tonight”. Love that dramatic car race!
Los Angeles Korean Festival – lots of food and goods from Korea, cultural shows, concerts, beer and more. The four-day event ended last Sunday. It was fun hanging out and checking all the booths selling different kinds of interesting stuff.Food all over….hot and spicy…..
Don’t know what’s in that big pot…I scored a few chicken wings, fried and sauteed with Korean spices….
There were people all over, it was like somewhere in Seoul…..
Even more crowded inside the shopping section / they have Korean toilet seat cover for sale too…..
Some sort of dried fish (left) and a garlic food product in a box set (right)
I was quite hungry afterwards, so we went to Sweet Lady Jane for a take-out – “Princess Cake” – with layers of custard and berries. The tiny roses and leaves are made of whipped cream, while the whole cake is cloaked in marzipan (almond paste) atop a thin layer of vanilla buttercream….
Side view…..
Anyone interested? A noodle joint which we frequent has this annual contest again. I’m not sure how much wonton noodles the winner has to chow down, but I’d love to find out this Saturday.
The cook making the noodles from scratch (left) / Shrimp & fish-ball noodle soup…..
“Beef tripe lo mien” – dry noodle with beef tripe n’ sauce…..
They also serve delicious boiled meaty dumplings…..
Steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce….
Steamed rice goes very well with the pork ribs…..
Appetizer – seaweed with potato, drizzled with spicy sauce…..

Thanks guys! More to come! *nom nom*
this is amazing! looks like you had such a great time! glad you are back in blogging action.
So glad to see you here again Gary. The pictures of the food look so frikkin good. I am not sure about that crowd in the top photos. I would be very uncomfortable with so many people around me.
Did that cake taste good?
I’m surprised you didn’t go to the Food Truck Rally on Saturday!
@morningmoka -
Haha~I’m glad to see you stopping by! Hope you have prepared your Paris trip!
@ZSA_MD -
Well, the crowd behaved very well that night, so no drama. Hehe~The cake was excellent, not too sweet and it was very fresh indeed! This shop has been making delicious pastries for the last twenty years. *whew*
@CareyGLY -
Aww…too bad, I was with all my K-friends at the K-Fest Saturday. I think you missed all the Asian eye-candies, should go next year!

@rudyhou -
I’m glad that you like my food porn! *nom nom*
wow…. so it’s true that lots of Korean living in Calif…
haha I just like the concept of the eating noodles competition!
@agmhkg -
Well, I guess it’s time to do some binge eating this Saturday! Yes Angel, L.A. is the second capital city of South Korea!
Yum yum yum! It’s strange how those three edamame make the rice so much more elegant. Any Korean hotties?
@brooklyn2028 -
That’s a nice touch for a plain bowl of rice! The later the night, the plentier they come! Sounds good?
@CurryPuffy -
Haha sounds good. I enjoy some eye candy.
Haha that song MV was so dramatic! I liked it though
. That food looks so nice!! I wanna go to a festival now haha. I also miss wonton noodles that are made from scratch D:, I had some in HK and they were soooo good.
@whoosh90 -
Yah, can’t beat those yummy wontons from Hong Kong! You should visit more often too. *nom nom*
@CurryPuffy -
I wish I could! If only I had more money…
I love wonton noodles, hehe. I have not tried the Bamboodles’ place, any good? Did you join the competition? By the way, I was searching through your previous blogs today to decide where to eat in HK, hehe. Enjoy your food blogs a lot, and also W’s food photos.
Quite a great source of food porn information, thanks!
@stevew918 -
The noodles are fresh and delicious, and that place has become our regular haunt. Well, I did not join the eating contest, fearing of throwing up…..Oh, try agmhkg for his recent Hong Kong eats. Bon Voyage!
<3 Go Away…and almost all of 2NE1′s songs. haha
omg I didn’t know LA had a Korean festival! D: <3 Korean food.
The Bay Area definitely needs to hold one of these. XD
How do you find all these yummy places to go too?? Maybe you should come visit the Bay Area, try lots of places and then let me know what places are good. XD
I must have missed this entry… *slaps head*
J would have loved that Korean festival (especially for the eye candies…). The food pics as usual are very good. Do you crop them afterwards or do any type of editing?
@ElusiveWords -
Yes I do crop a few of the photos, and increase the brightness as well.
