Momiji Manju
I recently bought this Japanese wagashi called "Momiji Manju". It's red bean paste inside, I like it but my husband doesn't. Some people like it, but some not.

Homemade Banana Cake
I recently made this banana cake. Recipe link is below. I added chocolate chips as well since I know that chocolate and banana is a perfect combination. It was good, but it wasn't excellent.

Bellagio - Cafe Bellagio 2007
Cafe Bellagio. Food was so-so. I can eat them but really not delicious. Our crab cake was burned and it wasn't good at all. My husband was disappointed because his crab salad tasted just like crab cake except not cooked. Pot sticker tasted weird, tiramisu had waaaaay too much cocoa powder on top. But still dessert was very good.

Paris - Mon Ami Gabi
Mon Ami Gabi at Paris hotel in Las Vegas. Reservations are recommended. If you wanna eat on the patio / outside, usually you have to wait about 40 minutes and for the patio they don't accept any reservations. Overall, service was good, food was just fine/OK. We both didn't think this is the place we wanna come back. There are so many better steak restaurants,and this place is not the one.
Appetizer prices range between $10-$15, salads $8-$17, vegetables $5-$7, steaks average $25, most desserts are $7.95.
At this place, if you wanna use your Total Rewards credits, you have to go to the players desk first and get a voucher for whatever the amount you wanna spend. You can't just show your Total Rewards card to your waiter. They won't accept it.
Bread was good. Tasted fresh.
Crab cake $13.95
celery root remoulade and gribiche sauce
Daily soup (kabocha pumpkin soup) $6.95
Steak Bearnaise $23.95
tarragon shallot butter
Seared Sea Scallops $21.95
spinach, whipped cauliflower and brown butter
Chocolate Mousse $7.95
It was heavy, too heavy, too much chocolate for me.

Chef Boyardee mini-bites, overstuffed ravioli
My husband was eating these so I took pictures. I actually never ever tried these before so I don't know what it tastes like (they never looked good to me), but what I know is these are high-calorie, high sodium, using lots of corn syrup unhealthy food. Also usually things like this doesn't have enough stuffing or meat inside the ravioli, but this does.
