Hime Sushi (San Francisco, CA)

California roll draped with eel and buttery avocado, sprinkled wth masago and garnished with wasabi and ginger. The pieces per serving... quite respectable :)

Samurai roll: California roll topped with spicy tuna and homemade potato chips. To enjoy the roll and potato chip together... ideal, but unless you have a large mouth... painful.

Hamachi Jalapeno sashimi slices... each slice topped with jalapeno, soy sauce, garlic and olive oil... whoever thought to pair these two together...ingenious.

Melting Pot (Old Town Pasadena, CA)

Chunks of bread, slices of fruit and florets of broccoli and cauliflower.... they are made for cheese dipping.

We ordered several combo plates of meat... chicken, shrimp and different cuts of steak... each with its own special marinade and seasoning. Once battered, boiled or deep fried, the array of dipping sauces were a fun, flavorful compliment.
Dunking creamy bites of cheesecake, slices of bananas, strawberries and bits of brownies into a warm tub of milk chocolate... a perfect ending....and the perfect beginning to the start of our diet~

Shakas (Alhambra, CA)

Shakas Hawaiian restaurant-started off dinner with some mango soju~

Probably the best dish on the menu....'The Sampler'.... Spam musubis, beef sticks n' fried chicken wings. Aside from the spam, it didn't scream 'alooooohaaa'...but yummy nonetheless.

Cafe Luxe (Venetian Hotel, Las Vegas, NV)

After partyin' VIP style at Tao, a kobe beef hotdog is the perfect way to end the night. Hands down, best hotdog. The hotdog was grilled to perfection and the spicy mayo dip for the french fries... heavenly.
Since Cafe Luxe is the sister restaurant to Cheesecake Factory, they also serve chunky slices of their creamy white chocolate raspberry cheesecake.

Gaslamp District (San Diego, CA)

A lil' something about us... we like the good life.... hotels with plush bathrobes, room service and yes, the food got'sta be on point. To rejuvenate our bodies from our drive... we ordered oriental chicken wannngs! mmmhMmmm Note: the sauce accumulated at the bottom of the bowl, perfect for double dipping.

For dinner, we found a nice Italian restaurant... we wetted our appetites with fresh caesar salad....
.....and a caprese salad.....
These crabcakes... chunky, plump and full of crabby goodness.
Baked oysters topped with melted cheese...
After a night of partyin' at BeLo.... hopping into a plush bathrobe and ordering room service beat getting out of bed, getting ready and getting food.... so we ordered fresh berries and yogurt for starters... hahah
then we indulged in this heavenly smoked salmon eggs benedict with a side of crisp hash browns and a skewer of fresh fruit to make us feel slightly healthy.


....the food, hotel n' nightlife will definetly bring us back for more.

Vegas Adventures

Morton's Steakhouse: Even though it's located a few minutes off the strip, it's a restaurant worth trying. A 3-course steak dinner for 2... $100. With the option to choose from the selection of starters, side dishes and desserts, going with a bigger group is best. This way, you can sample everything!



Key Lime Pie...holy heaven... it was smooth, creamy and refreshing.

Molten lava cake with ooey gooey warm chocolate filling... together with the creamy vanilla icecream... YUM :)Sushi Roku (Caeser's Palace) Too pricey for the quality and portion....but when you're in 100 degree humid weather and you're craving something fresh to eat, sushi hits the spot.

Saddleranch (Universal City Walk-Hollywood, CA)

Their sampler, caeser salad and ginormous drinks are a must. Their caesar salad is the ultimate: fresh, crisp and not too creamy. For those that appreciate good onion rings, chicken wings and mini burgers... the sampler is the way to go :) ...and for those that need the extra 'oomph' of encouragement to ride the bull.. we recommend the S.R.A.M.F.... (Saddleranch Adios Mother F**&^%)
Shots of patron- these will definetly give you the courage to get on the bull and the strength to clamp your thighs together...which will probably give you a gooooood 20 seconds...before you are violently bucked off~
