2day went 2 my godmom's restuarant wit two friends. One ate till she was full, da other ate till she couldn't move :hehe: The food was awesum :say_yes:

This is probably my last recommendation for a while. Its Thai food, so if u Thai food lovers feel like it, its located on 3116 Alum Rock Ave. SJ, CA, 95127. Called Thai WHite ROck Cafe. Looks nice on da inside. Its a small restuarant. My Godmom recommened me to tell my friends to go during lunch instead of during dinner on da weekends.

well, Westminister has a ton of great vietnamese food places. Some here in OC, but out in LA i am not sure since i live in OC. There are good Japanese Ramen/Restarant places in Costa Mesa. Probably some more in Torrance/Gardena area since there is a big Japanese community there.

Ate a hot dog (Polish) and drank a 32 oz. diet Coke from Sam's Club: total charge, $1.50 (that's right, a buck fifty). Being able to finally do so (this particular Sam's Club location opened up only in October) in an area where a plate lunch can run $5-$10? Priceless.

And, it tasted good (w/onions and mustard and ketchup; for some reason, if you want sauerkraut, you must needs ask the attendant/cashier).

Now, I don't usually dine on such fare . . . not being high-nosed about it, either, it's just that I usually DON'T eat lunch -- no time. Still, I was hungry this time around and with all the great holiday food I inhaled over the last three weeks or so, hot dog and soda seemed to be the right thing to do.

If it's still fresh in ya'll's minds, would any of ya'll like to inform the board of ya'll's
FOOD(S) THAT YOU
DINED ON DURING
THE HOLIDAYS???

During da holidays.....i remember durin christmas there was mashed potatoes and Ham...salad, potato salad....corns....and sum garlic bread.

At my gramps place we had more of an asian touch. THere was sum crab soup, like those type of soup they have at dim sum places, goi ga (chicken salad wit a viet touch...think i spelled it right) and noodles with lobster meat to go with it. :woot:

Augh, I hate that place.

One of the few, if not the only, restaurant that only takes cash... I think it's because they're laundering money... :hehe: :hehe:

I don't what's worse, places that accept only cash or those that require a minimum amount before you can use a card. I usually have to hunt for cash in all my pockets. :sweat: I thought that forcing a minimum wasn't allowed. :headscratch:

If you're at a sushi bar, it won't take much to pass the credit card minimum... :)

At the sushi/teriyaki place I go to all the time, they let me slide on the minimum, 'cause I'm a regular... :D

I'll go slow with informing some of the delicious-nesses during my Christmas - New Year's break.

I was accorded some baluga caviar during the holidays. Hoooo, yes. I ate 'em w/Ritz crackers and sour cream on top . . . still, though, the buggah went down smooth (I've had other caviars before, but, this one was nice. Now, I'm spoiled).

Highly recommended if you can get some.

Hahah. EXACTLY what my ma' exclaimed.

Caviar, I suppose, is one of those "acquired taste" foods. But, when I first tried it way back when, I was hooked. Probably helped that, as an island boy, I had -- like many other Hawai'i-ites -- been exposed to much sushi and fish dishes, broiled, raw, fried, grilled, et al.

Damn yummy. :dancing:

no kidding about acquired taste. caviar, just like ikura (orange salmon roe) are the same to me. Edible but just OK on the taste.

The Man: hey, i didn't know they have buck-fitty dogs at sam's club now. how do they compare to costco's? so far, costco is one of the best deals. and you don't eat lunch??@! what?! i don't eat any breakfast, but i'd probably faint if i didn't eat a plate lunch or something.

niko2x: is caviar really like ikura? i've tasted ikura at the sushi shops, and it's decent. but don't think i've ever tried caviar.

Ah. We're epicurean opposites of sorts, I suppose, when it comes to daylight meals -- I'm very pro-breakfast person. I eat before I leave the house. Here's what the morning sounds like 'fore I leave for the workage:

[silence]

[clink, clink, clink . . . ppzzzzzzssssssssss . . . sizzle sizzle . . . ]

[munch, munch]

[w/remote, turns on TV]

". . . top of the hour . . ."

[slurp, slurp, slurp . . . munch, munch . . . COUGH . . . gulp, gulp]

Yeaaaaaaaaah, ya'll's get the idea.

And I eat so dang much breakfast because I know I will have no time for lunch.

'Cept for the other day.

I've never tried the Costco hotdogs. I can, however, say that the Sam's Club Polish hot dog I had was quite substantial. And that's $1.50 WITH a 32 oz. drink. What. A. Bargain.

That is all.
