  • This is my favorite Korean BBQ spot – Chosun Galbee


    This is a glistening prime short rib also known as Seng Galbee Gui.

    This is the prime short rib grilling to perfection. The the color of the meat and the lines on it.


    This is beef brisket which sliced thinly to perfection also known as Chadol Baegi.


    This is a cold noodle that pairs really well with the meat. Its called Mul NengMyun.


    This was my last time at Chosun Galbee. This used to be a tradition coming here for my close friends birthday or even my birthday. It used to be a trio of us going there and ordering prime short rib and beef brisket. I love grilling meat and see it sizzle and transform in color to a perfectly grilled meat with smoky tan lines. I love eating the cold noodles and put a little mustard I believe and some vinegar. It’s so good. When me and my brother and friend used to come we ordered 3 cold noodles. Its a lot of food and we leave with a big smile and a feeling of stress evaporating. The meat is so good. This place uses highest quality of meats. The service is great too, they had servers help us grill the meat and serve to us, so we can eat in a relaxed setting. They have outdoor seating and indoor, both is good. I ate inside and outside too. They have good side dishes, but mostly the attention will go to the meat which I prefer because I don’t want to get full of side dishes, or don’t want the side dishes to overpower the meat. The mushrooms grilling is so good because it heats up and then the juice fills up the mushroom and you can drink after you blow on it to cool it down and then eat the whole mushroom. I don’t know one person I’ve been with that doesn’t like the mushroom. They have valet parking, so its convenient to eat here without having trouble to find parking.

  • Bluefish Montrose

    The salmon sushi has bright orange flesh. It is marbled with white lines. It’s so soft and melts like butter.

    The bluefin tuna sushi has a deep ruby red color nestled on top of delicious rice. The yellow tail sushi has a pretty pale pink with a slight hint of translucence.

    My all time favorite the Johnny roll. It’s so crispy and literally can eat the whole thing because its so good. I can’t find this anywhere else. Love dipping everything in wasabi and soy sauce, but these.

    I got this take out, but look how good the presentation is. It looks spectacular. This is my small adventure of different sushi and rolls.

  • Back one day in Santa Monica parking lot view & pasta & desserts

    One of my favorite places is Santa Monica. Santa Monica beach and pier and fishing and rides and food. The place is so fun. I used to come here in day time and see the beauty. I rode so many rides at Santa Monica Pier when I was younger with my brother. It was a fun time. I came with my best friend and saw the sunset and the blue ocean and orange sun colliding together was epic time. My other close friend took me fishing, we didn’t catch anything, but learning how to put bait on and throw a fishing line was a great experience. The best part about Santa Monica it has so many good food spots. One of my favorite spots is called UOVO and it has the most delicious pasta.

    This is a Pomodoro which is for me the best pasta. The Pomodoro is cheesy and hot and the noodles are delicous. I love the tomato taste because I like a really classic pasta. You mix the cheese in the pasta thats sprinkled on the pasta and eat it because it makes the whole pasta cheesier.

    This is UOVO roasted cauliflower. All I can say is this is the one of tastiest vegetable dishes I’ve tried in my life. I always try to order a vegetable when I eat lunch or dinner. The garlic pieces in the cauliflower is amazing.

    Had to stop by Krispy Kreme after a salty and flavorful lunch. Balance out the salt with some sugar. I love Krispy Kreme donuts. I go to the one in Burbank, but this one was from Santa Monica because it was close by us. I always like to get some chocolate glazed and simple glazed donuts.

  • A day at Americana at Brand

    This is Americana at night after I finished my meal and iced coffee and watched a movie.

    Salmon truffle hand roll at The Bar by Seabutter

    H.Y.E hand roll at The Bar by Seabutter

    Negi Toro hand roll at The Bar by Seabutter

    Lalalatte at Lalaland

    This was last month, a little escape to the mall at Americana at Brand. The Americana at Brand is a treasure. I was in the mood to try something delicious and I ended up going to The Bar by Seabutter. They have the best hand rolls I’ve tried. I’ve tried 2 other hand roll spots, but this place is the best. I got the Lux 3 hand roll which consists of a salmon truffle roll, H.Y.E, and negi toro roll. It was a quick meal, but the rolls are very special because the chef takes his time making it carefully. After a great meal, I went to Lalaland which is a coffee shop. I wanted a quick me up. Their Lalalatte is so good and milky and coffee flavor is out of this world. Lalaland is usually crowded when I go there, so I know its good because a lot of people want it.

  • My favorite beach – Broad Beach in Malibu

    This is Trancas market located next to the Broad Beach. I stop by here before I go to the beach to use the restroom and get a quick pick me up snack at Starbucks. I get a ham and swiss sandwich and a small coffee. I then go to my car, and drive literally across the street and park to enter Broad Beach.

    This is the entrance to Broad Beach. I absolutely love it because theres a gate that opens into the beach. It really feels like entering a new world. A special paradise. The beach is so clean and water is so clear. This beach isn’t too crowded. If you want to go to a more crowded active section you can walk downwards the beach and it transitions into Zuma Beach.

    The houses along the beach are magnificent. For me, since I love the beach, any house on the beach would be a dream come true. My brother likes to walk with shoes on the beach because he doesn’t like the sand, but for me I love walking bare feet in the water and letting the cool cold water on my feet shock me and get rid of my pent up tension and worries.

    Wow! look at the ocean, so clear and beautiful. I walk for a hour back and forth down the beach. I like letting the sea breeze on my eyes. My eyes feel so fresh. This beach is a place of healing.

    This is Broad Beach. It’s a beautiful beach to just walk and have a picnic. It’s my favorite beach. I’ve been to a lot of beaches. This is a really comfortable getaway for the weekened.

  • My favorite lobster spot – Newport Seafood


    Dreams become reality. At one of my favorite restaurants: Newport Seafood. Love me some lobster. Seven pound large lobster, more like a jumbo lobster. Special seasoning. Best lobster I had in my life. Second time eating it was good with noodles in it. So much meat. Didn’t regret at all. Love the orange color. My friend was laughing because it was so good that I was eating like a pig: one hand on the cup of water and other hand grabbing noodles with the chopstick. It was funny because he thought he looked like a pig eating until he saw me eating. Too funny. I couldn’t help it, it tasted so good. Ordered some other sides like soup, kung pao chicken, and clams. Wowza. It was so good. I might just go back for kung pao chicken, soup, and clams. It’s a set for like an affordable price. Lobster for me is only on special times of the year. There’s these small red pieces in the lobster that taste so good. It just crumbles when you eat. I don’t know what it’s called but if you see it you know what I’m talking about. Lobster can get a little tricky and messy eating but that’s why there’s napkins. It’s not embarrassing because it’s so good. Didn’t finish the lobster because wanted to take some home. The lobster and noodles and kung pao chicken were a great reminder the next day of the fabulous night I had before.

  • My favorite outdoor seating restaurant

    This was a very special dinner I had with my family at BOA Steakhouse. This restaurant has the most beautiful and spacious outdoor seating. My family which was a party of three. We ordered 3 sizzling ribeye steaks, 2 asparagus, and 2 delicious, gourmet, creamy mac & cheese. This combination of food is perfection. We all had big smiles throughout the whole meal. It was a fantastic time, I wish I can go back again in the future. What an amazing celebration I’ll never forget and cherish.

  • My favorite Japanese BBQ spot

    This was 3 years ago when I visit Beverly Hills and ate at Yazawa. I had the most delicious certified Japanese A5 Wagyu beef. It taste so delicious and its grilled to perfection by server. The meat just melts in your mouth. I’m not kidding, it really melts and so tender. The dipping sauce that is accompanied with the beef is amazing. The cuts of meat are sliced perfectly. This place is a must for someone who loves high quality premium beef with perfect sauce and seasoning. Definitely one of the best food experiences of my life.

  • My favorite sushi spot

    This sushi restaurant is my favorite spot and its called SUGARFISH. I love the restaurants ambiance. Its so clean and neat. The salmon sushi is so good, but my favorite now is the Toro sushi. Toro is the pink fish. It taste so good. I like to put the wasabi, just a little, on top of the sushi without soy sauce, and eat it just like that. Both ways taste good, the other way being dipping the sushi in wasabi and soy sauce mixed. I love how this restaurant gives edamame in the beginning as kind of an appetizer. I love how they serve hand rolls too and you can sub it out for more Toro if you don’t like the Crab handroll.

  • Orange Corvette at LA Auto Show

    This was last year LA auto show, I saw my dream car which is brand new orange Corvette. The auto show was so fun. I love seeing the new cars that are coming out. I love this orange Corvette. I wish I can drive down the beach or to friends house and surprise them to show them how good I’m doing. The 4 exhaust pipes lined up like that makes it look even more sporty. This would be the perfect car for when its summer time like right now and be in the sun, and listening to music on the Corvette speakers. New Corvettes look stunning, but Corvette was always one of my favorite cars even previous models. I’m looking forward to next year LA Auto Show because its going to have new cars and the pizza is good there too. It’s been a tradition now going, I went like 3 times in the last 5 years I think. Last year they had a JEEP ride which was really cool to be able to experience because I haven’t been able to go on it previous years. Pizza is good because its hot and cheesy and has pepperonis, kind of like eating gold. The tickets for LA Auto Show is affordable and made family friendly.
