Komol

Komol has the unfortunate luck of being in the same center as Las Vegas’ most famous Thai restaurant, Lotus of Siam. Since we were craving Thai food on a Saturday afternoon, and LOS isn’t open for lunch on the weekends, we decided to give Komol a try. We were, sadly, the only customers in the [...]

Montana Meat Company

I’m not sure why this was the first time we’ve been to this restaurant. We’ve tried to get to just about every restaurant in our neighborhood, but for some reason I never had the urge to go here. Until, that is, a coupon arrived in the mail last week. Yes, I’m a coupon sucker! At [...]

Day Trip: Death Valley National Park

Up until yesterday, I hadn’t been to Death Valley NP in years… which is funny. When I lived in LA, I probably went every couple of years. It was over a 3 hour drive from LA. Since I moved to Vegas, I’ve not gone once. It’s about a 2 hour drive from Vegas. Maybe I’ve [...]

Bakery Review: Lelysee Bakery

Lelysee is one of the better Asian bakeries in Asiatown. This place has a great selection of breads and pastries. We come here mainly for their U Ta Ne bread, which seems to be a popular item here. A sign claims that this bread is made utilizing a unique baking method, during which the dough [...]

China Mama

This is definitely one of the better Chinese restaurants I’ve been to in Vegas. The food is about as authentic as our other favorite Chinese restaurant, Ping Pang Pong; but the menu items are quite different. The place is supposedly owned by a Taiwanese family. The specialties here seem to focus around the “pastry” section [...]

Easter 2009

For Easter this year, we decided to FINALLY break out our Rotisserie. Sheesh, that thing was a wedding gift, and has been sitting in our pantry for over 4 years! Oh well, better late than never, right?

Pho Que Huong

Another pho review? Yes, it is true! I’ve loved pho since the first time I tried it, and I remember that time quite clearly. I was around 13. My mom, knowing how much I love noodles, took me to a hole-in-the-wall pho restaurant in Hawthorne, CA, that one of her Vietnamese coworkers had taken her [...]

Hawaiian BBQ

My quest for the best plate lunch in Vegas continues…

Bazic

I’m not an especially huge fan of fusion restaurants, especially Asian fusion. I guess I’d rather see a restaurant focus on one type of regional cuisine, and do that to perfection, rather than doing two or more just okay. I suppose it’s possible for a place to do multiple regional cuisines well, I just normally [...]

Spring Gardening in Vegas

I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am that it’s Spring. I HATE winter. There. I’ve said it. I apologize to all of you cold-lovers out there, but I am not one of you!
