Grand Opening! Cafe Gunul 2 - Rowland Heights

Cafe Gunul 2 just opened up in Rowland Heights. The chef actually created the food menu at IOTA and HAUS cafe in Koreatown. So now you can get their mentaiko pastas, fried rice, and other dishes in Rowland Heights. They make everything from scratch, and all the food are chef's original recipes.  Everything was absolutely delicious. My favorites were hamburg steak, casserole, and steamy buns.

This restaurant is filled with amazing artwork done by the owner, Mimi.

Hamburger Hamlet - Sherman Oaks

Thanks to Trip.com, it was great tasting event. I had a great time at Hamburger Hamlet. Their menu is huge, they have all the America's favorite foods, such as burgers, steaks, milkshakes, eggs, sandwiches, nachos, wings, fish, spaghetti, etc, etc.. They also have Happy Hour, they are offering $1 oysters, $3-$5 alcohol drinks, and appetizers for around $5.

I haven't had split pea soup for so long, I had to try it when I saw it on the menu. It also came with cornbread. It was delicious.
