Lime - Koreatown

Less than a months old, lime offers Korean dumplings, pho, pad thai, chicken wings, fried rice, etc.

When we walked in, I didn't see any server and I smelled something odd. But we decided to try the food anyway. As always, I couldn't make up my mind, keep changing my mind I finally decided to try veggie dumplings.

For Korean dumplings, there are so many better places than lime, like Cho Man Won, Mirai, Myung Dong Kyoja, etc.

Pho + dumplings combo $8.99

Pho

King dumplings

Kimchi dumplings $4.99

Veggie dumplings $4.99
was my least favorite of all.

Taste of Italy 2013

event

I went to Taste of Italy last week. I received general admission, which including 6 food tickets and 4 drink tickets. Usually this type of food events are all you can eat and drink but this event wasn't so I had to choose which food I want, and it was really tough for me because I just wanted to try everything!

Drago Centro and Ferrarini Deli were the popular places. And I wish I got the food from Cafe Firenze because I have cookbook!

Since I'm not a wine / alcohol person, I wish there were more coffee venders. I had 4 drink tickets and I used 3 tickets for coffee. Still, I enjoyed the event. I was very full when I was leaving.

Here's my tickets

Gelato sandwich with panna cotta gelato from Eatalian cafe in Gardena

Verace pizza

Sandwich from Caffe Roma in Beverly Hills

I got three coffees from Pasquini Espress co. From clockwise: latte, cappuccino, americano. I couldn't tell the difference between cafe and latte. When I saw my latte, it looked like cappuccino.

Pasta from Toscanova at Westfiled Century City

I thought I should have at least one alcohol so I told the bartender to make something for me and he made this. Even I said easy alcohol, I saw him pouring alcohol like half way.. I think it was vodka and orange juice.

About two weeks ago, I went to The Artisan Market at Backyard in W hotel. I RSVP'd so I got two free drinks and gift bag. Event was small, but there were some samples and I got gift bag so I'm happy.
