i'm telling you bro....the targeted demographic for restaurants from japan always seems to be l.a. over san francisco...the last several japanese eateries that opened their doors on american soil for the first time have ALL opened in l.a. (except the bakery below) as far as i know. this short list is not exhaustive.

well there's asahi ramen across the street but i suspect that chabuya is better...it's on the same side of the street as furaibo just up the block.

somewhat would rather have the ice cream bars, of course. :hehe:

i think my weight has been stable as well, and i do some running.
During my dating days :sweat: , i gained a bit more weight from eating out a lot and once hit 180lbs, now i am down to 160lbs.

frozen snickers, never bothered to try that, but frozen butterfingers, that sounds good. :hehe:

when i graduated high school, i weighed 145, then i got a desk job, and by last year, i'd gone up to 205 (free soda here).

now im down to 185, lost most of it just by drinking water instead of soda... i barely exercise, other than snowboarding.

i have a craving for "stinky tofu" :puppydog:

need to find a place in the south bay that serves it.

General Tao Chicken with rice (mixed with green peas and scramble eggs).

Only 2.50$ :thumbsup:

I don't know if he ever existed, but the chicken is good.

damn.....you lost 20lb. Way to go Krim :applaud: :applaud:

I need to lose that much.

Been eating good food, but haven't been excercising enough.
gained 20lb since high school :beaten:


stinky tofu????? what that???

yeah, working behind a desk with all those food-temptations, can be lethal. esp. with all those cakes and other foods co-workers would bring in. I have all this time, and run/exercise and watch more what i eat more...snowboarding is good exercise, and it is fun, but its more of a season thing, ne?

girls/work = more weight gain potentially?
i hear that marriage makes it even more of a weight gain...
:hehe:

it's a taiwanese dish, basically, it's rotten tofu that's deep fried... smells like gym socks, but tastes like heaven. :victory:
