Simmer Huang 黄记煌三汁焖锅 - Temple City, CA

Slave girl and I saw this restaurant and always wanted to try it since we never had simmer pot before. Unlike hot pot, they don't put water into the pot and relying on the water from the vegetables to steam through the whole pot. It was a new concept and we couldn't wait to have it.

RAKKAN Ramen - Los Angeles, CA (Little Tokyo)

Work bro told me about his new ramen discovery called Rakkan in Little Tokyo and he was pretty happy about what he had. I know we have similar taste buds so I dragged slave girl one day to check this place out.

MARUGAME UDON - Los Angeles, CA

Fatty and slave girl got invited to a tasting event with J-Goods Magazine at Marugame Udon. It's true, this place is the chain udon restaurant from Hawaii. For those of you who had the pleasures to dine at this place and happened to love them on the island, well, you don't have to purchase a flight ticket just to fly out for that udon anymore!

My Vi Mi Gia - Garden Grove, CA

I was meeting a friend I haven't seen in awhile for lunch. She's Vietnamese and she promised to take me for some authentic stuff in the area, that's how we ended up here.

Corner Beef Noodle House - El Monte, CA (Revisit)

Slave girl wanted beef noodle soup for lunch and I remembered Corner Beef Noodle House being my favorite so far, why not pay a another trip?

This time we ordered a pork chop, beef noodle soup, and half tendon half meat noodle soup. Drink wise we got passion fruit tea and winter melon tea. Personally I prefer winter melon tea more because it was less sweet, but both were refreshing when it was 90 some degrees out.

Even Life - Rowland Heights, CA

Slave girl and I were in my hood and we wanted something for dinner. We saw this new place for beef noodle soup. I am always up for the new challenge so we went to try the place.

The Noodle - Chino Hills, CA

It was time to meet up with grandma and this time, I felt like having Chinese food. I haven't visited Chino Hills in awhile and was surprised to see The Noodle there. I know, I said awhile mmmmmk?

BreadFish Cafe - Rowland Heights, CA

The first time I visited BreadFish Cafe, I believe they just opened their door and I remembered the food being good. It has been awhile and I wanted to see if the quality still the same so I dragged slave girl with me for a revisit.

MIAN - San Gabriel, CA

Slave girl and I love Chengdu Taste and we were excited when we heard Mian was opening. We have dined here couple of times and still enjoyed each time.

Corner Beef Noodle House - El Monte, CA

I have been following corner beef noodle house's Facebook page for a long time. After my vacation trip, I really wanted to have some beef noodle soup and remembered corner beef noodle house was by slave girl's hood, so why not check out the place finally.

Marugame Monzo - Los Angeles, CA

I wanted to go to little Tokyo for lunch, co-worker wanted noodles, what a good timing!?  After we arrived the area, we saw ramen shops and noticed this one udon place. Well why not, udon we went.

Noodle King - Alhambra, CA

Technically speaking, since I was in slave girl's hood, she usually picks on where to eat for dinner. But I was craving beef noodle soup so I overrided her and decided to give noodle king a try.

Nha Trang - Monterey Park, CA

Slave girl and I tried this place at Rowland Heights but we never tried the "original spot" before. Well, we didn't find it but this one was close by. Since I had a hang over, what's a better time to try this place out?

Luscious Dumplings - San Gabriel, CA

This is my third visit at this restaurant and first time eating here. The first time when slave girl and I came during a late afternoon, it was closed. The second time we came, they ran out of all the dumplings and only had noodles to serve. Well, since they are famous for dumplings, I didn't want to waste my first impression on the noodles. So 3rd time was the charm and I was really excited to finally able to try this place.

CHINA TASTY - Alhambra, CA

Menu front

Originally, slave girl and I were going to go to the ramen place across the street, but since we failed and turned into the wrong plaza, we decided to give china tasty a try.
