Media tasting at Chaya in Venice

Chaya recently had private media tasting event. It's been 7 years since last time I was here. CLICK HERE for pics from 2011.

Event was great. I got to try unique Japanese dishes such as Yagara sashimi and tequila ramen! Everything was fresh and delicious. They also have big selections of Japanese whisky, sake, and other liqueur.

Rolled ice cream at Chelo Creamery - City of Industry

After having dinner at Midoh, we stopped by here for dessert. I always like to finish the meal with desserts.

I think it was Good-zooky, green tea ice cream with toppings
