Kurobuta Pork

I’ve never been a fan of anything coming from a pig. For most of my life I’ve disliked pork chops, ham, and even bacon and sausage. In the past few years I’ve come to appreciate and even like bacon and sausage, and I’m trying to make the taste transition to pork chops. Ham, on the [...]

Las Pupusas

I’ve driven by the Valley View location several times, then finally looked them up and found there was a location in North Las Vegas, which is closer to where I live. I stopped there on my way home one day to get a couple of the pupusas, which are a bit like quesadillas, but in [...]

Hot N Juicy Crawfish

While I may not be a HUGE shellfish fan, I do like it enough to crave it at least occasionally. So, when I found out that my shellfish-allergic husband was going to be out of town this week, I thought… time to hit up Hot N Juicy Crawfish! I ordered to go, and I’m glad [...]

Bakery Review: Crown Bakery

There are a plethora of Asian bakeries in Vegas’ Asiatown, all of which I intend to review immediately. Okay, maybe I won’t get around to reviewing ALL of them anytime soon, but it’s not such a bad goal, right? =D

Sushi Tachi

I’d driven by Sushi Tachi several times, then heard from a colleague that it was good. We decided to go there one afternoon to check out their lunch specials. The best deal is the special above, which is the Chicken Teriyaki lunch box. As you can see it’s quite a bit of food! It comes [...]

St. Patrick’s Day 2009

St. Patrick’s Day is the ONE holiday when I known exactly what I’m cooking for dinner. I don’t think I’ve ever not had corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day, even though I don’t have a drop of Irish blood in me! It’s a tradition that my mom started, and I’ve continued through the [...]

Birthday celebration part II (Vegas)

One of the things my best friend Amy wanted to do to celebrate her 40th birthday was the flightline at Bootleg Canyon. Five of us trekked out towards Boulder City, about a half hour Southeast of Las Vegas. It was a perfect day, sunny, yet cool with just a slight wind. There were four lines [...]

Weekend trip to LA part II (Birthday celebration!)

Since the Santa Monica Pancreatic Cancer Research Walk roughly coincided with my best friend Amy’s 40th birthday, a few of us had a little celebration the night before. The night started with dinner at Musha in Torrance. It has the appearance of a typical izakaya inside; cozy, yet extremely lively at the same time. Myself, [...]

Weekend trip to LA, 3/09

March is quite the busy month for me. There are multiple birthdays to celebrate, AND my wedding anniversary is in this month. So being in LA this weekend worked out well, as I was able to celebrate a few birthdays! For my dad and brother’s joint birthday dinner, we went to a Korean BBQ buffet, [...]
