Yummy waffles at Shaky Alibi - West Hollywood

If you want some yummy waffles and good strong coffee, then try this place. Their coffee are $2-$4, pretty reasonable compare to the coffee places in Koreatown.

Also their savory waffles and waffle ice cream sandwich caught my eyes. I must try their savory waffles and waffle sundae next time. That sounds really yummy.




























menu




































Cafe latte $3.50


























Traditional Liege waffle ($5.5) with pearl sugar, whipped cream ($0.99) and strawberries ($0.99)

It was very tasty. I think pearl sugar made it taste much more flavorful. I love it.

Ton-Chan ramen - San Gabriel

Newly opened Japanese ramen place in San Gabriel. Very small place. Maybe total 10 tables or under so I wouldn't come here during busy lunch/dinner time.
Also I guess because they are new, the service wasn't good enough. I hate keep asking for refills.

I ordered shoyu ramen + mentaiko bowl set $11.50, also gyoza and fried rice. Check their twitter page, because sometimes they are giving free gyoza and dessert.













































menu

























Cha han fried rice $5.50
Rice, eggs, pork and green onions mixed with soy sauce combined to make the special bowl. Yes, it was oily and I liked it.













Gyoza $3.50
Their gyoza wasn't my favorite. It didn't taste like homemade, and also it wasn't warm. They also forgot to bring us the sauce.













Mentaiko bowl
I liked my mentaiko rice bowl. Recommended.


























Tonkotsu Shoyu
Good flavor and good portion, I liked it. It came with egg, chashu, green onion and nori seaweed, plus you choose 2 extra toppings. For my extra toppings, I choose egg and corn. If I knew I'm getting egg without ordering as an extra, I didn't get one more egg. I wish they described to their menu.







































Complimentary green tea ice cream.



















For overall, good food, fair prices and yes, I'll go back.

Din Tai Fung - Arcadia

One of the most popular and famous dumpling restaurant in Arcadia. This place is always crowded, but the service is very fast and we never had to ask for refill, they always brought us everything we need before we ask.

CLICK HERE for pics from another Din Tai Fung restaurant


































This is the menu



















Juicy pork dumplings (10pcs) $7.25
1 minute after we placed our order, we got these dumplings. These are the most popular items on the menu, so I guess they always keep making it, otherwise we won't be getting these in 1 minute. It was good and juicy, but unfortunately, I could tell that these dumplings were sitting in the kitchen for a while. I wish they steamed after we placed our orders.













Shrimp & pork dumplings (10pcs) $7.75
Yes, these were good.













Don't try to bite only half, eat all in once, because all the juices will come out.













Sweet taro buns (2pcs) $3.60
I like taro, so I liked it. The bun was moist, not too sweet, perfect to end my meal.
