PASTA e PASTA by Allegro - Los Angeles, CA

Ever since they opened, I have been eyeballing this place but every time when I was ready to go, the thought of post-pasta-meal coma prevented me from going. Finally in the name of ex work wife 0.5, I made it there for a lunch gathering while she pulled a no show... It was OK, I got slave girl and work wife 2 with me.

Pizzicotto - Los Angeles, CA

One of my work bros was craving for pizza. He never really eats out and for him to say he wanted pizza, I must fulfill that wish! After some looking around, we were settled for Pizzicotto.

Maison Akira - Pasadena, CA

To celebrate my engagement with slave girl, and also gathering with my long time friend, we picked Maison Akira for our weekend happy ending.

El Cochinito Restaurant - Los Angeles, CA

Work bro and I were looking for lunch spot in the Silver Lake area. He asked his friend for recommendations while I was on my phone searching around, El Cochinito was the result. I've always loved Cuban food so I was pretty happy about our decision.

Koi Japanese Cuisine - Seal Beach, CA

This has been my 5th visit to Koi and I must say, thank goodness they are not around where I live because I would go broke real quick.

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.

OC Fair - Costa Mesa (CA)

OC Fair is definitely not something new to me and slave girl. Since it was coming to an end for 2017, we figured we would go on the last weekend to see if there was anything different from our last visit.

Boba Gogo - Rowland Heights, CA

I was in the plaza getting a haircut and couldn't help but smelling deep fried basil on the way out. I have passed this place many times but never tried it.

Well, that stupid basil smell got me.

The Pizza Press - Whittier, CA

Do you love pizza? If you do, you will love to hear that The Pizza Press is opening its 13th location in Whittier! For a newcomer that was established in Anaheim in 2012, they sure bloomed pretty fast. Fatty and slave girl was invited to try their food before the grand opening on Thursday, 8/10/17, so that we can report on our findings.

Fisherman’s Outlet - Los Angeles, CA

Work wife 2 wanted seafood for lunch and she remembered this place from her childhood. It was a bit far from work so I haven't thought about going yet. Since she was driving, I was like, hells yeah let's go!

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.

The Mar Vista - Los Angeles, CA

Friends wanted to do an all girl Sunday brunch with slave girl and I was added to the brunch list at last minute. Yeah yeah I know the girls love to see me because how could they say no to fatty?
