Plum Tree Inn - Chinatown, Los Angeles
Plum Tree Inn in Chinatown, Los Angeles. I don't have any info for prices or names of the dishes.
Food was OK. Service was OK. But I didn't like the waiter keep asking for check. Waiter came to the table 5-6 times for check. I also had green tea ice cream and it tasted so weird. Reminds me of nasty green tea ice cream at Naga in Stratosphere casino in Vegas.

This is the only place I actually can eat Mexican food. I don't like Mexican food so I never go to Mexican restaurants, but this one is different. This was our second time eating here, and everything was delicious. But it took about 20 minutes to get our food.

Sonic Burger
At last, our first time Sonic Burger. There are no Sonic Burgers in Los Angeles, the closest one is in O.C., I believe, but there are so many in Las Vegas. So we went to the one across from the Palms casino. This one is open 24 hours.
I thought the taste was better than other fast food burgers. I really liked my popcorn chicken. The French fries were very salty. Cookie Dough Blast was sweet, it was too sweet for me, but my husband said that's what the taste is supposed to be. He really liked it.
#1 Combo Meal - Sonic Burger, Fries and Medium Drink $4.69
Popcorn Chicken $2.99
Cookie Dough Blast (reg 14oz. size) $2.49

Carl's Jr - teriyaki burger
Teriyaki burger at Carl's Jr. If you eat this thinking you are eating a teriyaki burger, you'll be disappointed. Because teriyaki sauce is only on bun and pineapple, no sauce on meat, so meat patty tastes just like regular hamburger. I'm not sure about the combination of cheese and teriyaki, but it doesn't matter, I can't eat cheese anyway. While I was eating, I couldn't taste any teriyaki, only thing I could taste was regular hamburger. And if you see teriyaki burger photo at Carl's Jr online, the pineapple is much thicker. It's very different from what you see online and what you actually get.
pineapple was very thin

Fleur de Lys - Mandalay Bay
Fleur de Lys at Mandalay Bay. I got the $79 Prix Fixe menu (appetizer, entree, dessert) and my husband got the $89 Prix Fixe menu (appetizer, fish, meat, dessert).
My choice was Ahi Tuna Three Ways, Duo of Kurobuta Pork with Truffle Chicken Sausage, and Citrus Trio. My husband chose Terrine of Duck Confit and Yukon Gold Potato, Scallops, Slow Braised Beef Short Ribs, and Chocolate Feast. We also got amuse bouche.
Some of the food tasted very good, but some not. Half and half. Probably either you like it or you don't like it. I probably won't come back here. It was fun though. At least I enjoyed the food by looking and I can tell that chef is spending quality time to prepare the food.

amuse bouche
Ahi Tuna Three Ways - seared with lobster essence, tartare with ginger, tarragon rillettes
One of them was delicious (I don't remember which one), but other ones were not. I wish I'd gotten crab cakes instead.
Terrine of Duck Confit and Yukon Gold Potato - foie gras torchon with brioche, frisee salad, truffle coulis
Pan-Seared Maine Diver Scallops - porcini lasagna, wild mushroom tea, black truffle chantilly cream
This dish was delicious.
Slow Braised Beef Short Ribs (boneless) - jumbo asparagus, applewood smoked bacon polenta, kaffir lime scented red wine sauce
My husband was amazed about this cherry tomato. The waiter explained how a sugar cube rubbed on an orange peel is melted over it.
Duo of Kurobuta Pork with Truffle Chicken Sausage - caramelized cippolini onion, sweet young carrots, English peas, five spice jusKurobuta was delicious, but sausage wasn't. The sausage didn't taste like sausage.
Lemon Creme Fraiche Panna Cotta from the Citrus Trio
It was good.
Orange and Grapefruit Tarragon Gelee, Citrus and Thyme "Tart", Mandarin Orange SorbetGelee and sorbet were good, tart was not my favorite.
Chocolate Feast - caramel milk chocolate and banana mille feuille, chocolate pound cake, chocolate pot de creme, dark chocolate vanilla sorbet, milk chocolate macadamia nut tartChocolate was very rich, to me, too much heavy chocolate.
