The Sycamore Kitchen is a restaurant that has been on my list for a really long time. It almost did not happen this time either, but a series of unfortunate events that ended up working to my advantaged occurred. 🙂 I was headed to a sewing blogger meet-up (for Vintage Zest) and ended up almost […]

La Boulange (Los Angeles, CA)
Today, I had the pleasure of going to La Boulange and it was simply magnificent! With so much to eat, drink, and see, I am amazed that I only sampled a fraction of the menu. A return visit is already on the works! Here is a sneak peek into the restaurant before it opens this morning! […]
Lee’s Sandwiches (Western U.S.)
Today’s post is about a chain that is a bit under the radar, even if you have one in your area. It’s Lee’s Sandwiches, a casual spot that serves both Vietnamese and European-Style sandwiches. Let’s dig in! The outside is the same at each location, and tends to blend in to surrounding shops. The menu […]
Candle Light Bakery (Norwalk, CA)
Remember when I received a few treats from Candle Light Bakery a couple months ago? My friend was so lovely to bring me a few treats for my birthday, and this time I decided to photograph it just a bit better… 🙂 First, a rainbow of French macarons of all different flavors! Fruity or chocolaty, I […]

But first, a bit about the building itself! It was actually converted from an old Sunkist packing house […]
Slater’s 50/50 (Southern California)
I had heard of Slater’s 50/50 a very long time ago, and I figured that I would eventually get around to it. I was in Riverside, when a large group of us needed to find somewhere to eat. Luckily, the winning suggestion was their local Slater’s 50/50. Another one to check off of my list! So, […]
Spago (Beverly Hills, CA)
Okay, so this is a mess of a post. I sat down to write this excitedly because I had SO many things to share from Spago: a wonderful amuse bouche, a beautiful bread basket, five tasty appetizers, five delicious entrees, two delectable side dishes, and three gorgeous desserts. And then the worst thing happened… I […]
La Parolaccia Osteria Italiana (Long Beach, CA)
For a quick dinner, the family and I went to an Italian restaurant that we had been hearing about for a while, called La Parolaccia. I have a feeling that we will be coming back soon! It definitely has an old-school Italian decor. The normal bread was good, but instead of butter, it was served […]
