Sunday, November 19, 2017 - Tom's Urban, BBQ Chicken, Los Angeles, CA

Tom's Urban
1011 S Figueroa St B101, Los Angeles, CA 90015

I didn't take a picture of my actual food here lmao.
I got the calamari though, pretty good.


BBQ Chicken LA
3450 W 6th St #103, Los Angeles, CA 90020

The green onion sauce was super good.
I prefer boneless chicken lmao 
The chicken is pretty similar to love letter, maybe a bit better and more sides.

Friday, November 10, 2017 - Birdies, Little Fluffy Head Cafe, Los Angeles, CA

Birdies
314 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90015

So the chicken here is alright, I think it really needs the sauce to be better so...yeah haha.
Tried the pistachio lemon thyme donut, it was really good.
More worth it than the $3.50 maple bacon donut I got from Astro Donuts/FC.
It's very decadent and the flavors were really nice.

I like the decor here with the black walls, white floors, wood furniture.







Little Fluffy Head Cafe

Can't access their actual site without getting hit with a warning soooo

I got the black tea with salted whipped cream cheese.
I thought I wouldn't like it but it's really yummy.
The cream cheese is really thick and it gives an interesting taste.
$6-$7 a drink.

The decorations are very minimal, pretty.
I like the neon signs a lot.

The bad thing is the impossibility of finding parking at the time that we were there, which was on a Friday at around 1PM.
Which is understandable in that downtown area but makes it difficult to want to visit regularly.








There are seriously so many treasures in Downtown LA. 
At one intersection, you were near Acne, APC, Aesop, Urban Outfitters, and so many other things.
Will be great to spend some more time exploring there!

Monday, November 6, 2017 - Umenoya Ramen Company, Torrance, CA

Umenoya Ramen Company
24222 Crenshaw Blvd, Torrance, CA 90505

Got the Spicy Miso, of course.
Hmmmm I should have had more of the soup but I always like the spicy soups.
The pork is pretty salty though.
I'm not sure if the egg was supposed to be cold but yeah.
I liked the noodles because they were on the softer side, they should totally let you add more.
I can't really compare to different places but I liked it overall.

Friday, October 27, 2017 - Astro Donuts & Fried Chicken, Los Angeles, CA

Astro Donuts & Fried Chicken
516 W 6th St, Los Angeles, CA 90014

I got a maple bacon donut and a fried chicken breakfast sandwich.
The donut is alright, not really worth $3.50 imo.
The chicken was good but the sandwich overall was just okay.

It was the first time that I could walk around downtown LA so early in the morning, a very interesting experience.
There's so many people and it's really bustling.
I went to the LACCD District Office for a job test and there were always tons of people off to somewhere. 
The environment didn't sit well with me though, I'm not sure if it was because I was so nervous but I'd like to be around there again and spend some more time.

Sunday, October 15, 2017 - Labobatory, San Gabriel, CA

Labobatory
819 W Las Tunas Dr, San Gabriel, CA 91776

Got the NaCaramel and PixelTea.
I really like the Na Caramel, it's a nice milk tea.




Sunday, October 15, 2017 - Skincare: Aarde Cosmetics, LACA Beauty Shop

Aarde Cosmetics
837 W Las Tunas Dr, San Gabriel, CA 91776

Picked up some sheet masks for $0.50 each, on sale!
I think they're called Dermal Korea, I'm pretty sure I've seen them sold on Amazon.

They carry a lot of Korean brands like Peripera, the Saem, Tony Moly, some higher end brands, and they carry the Labiotte lip stains, too.
They have an organic line as well.



LACA Beauty Shop
600 E Valley Blvd # E San Gabriel, CA 91776

This mask is $0.50 cheaper than the Line character ones lmao!
Picked up the Banila Clean It Zero since it took my SFs out so well.
I prefer using it if I'm going to take a shower though, it's so hard to remove it just at the sink since it emulsifies pretty deep.

Tuesday, October 10, 2017 - Coffee Cup Cafe

Coffee Cup Cafe
3734 E 4th St, Long Beach, CA 90814

My favorite breakfast place so far!
I always get the apple sausage scramble, I really love the potatoes.
Also got French toast which took up most of the room in my stomach!
The boysenberry sauce is so so good too.
I got to try eggs benedict for the first time.
I don't really like the sauce because it's a little sour but it was alright!

Sunday, October 8, 2017 - Cafe Solar, Westchester; Document Coffee Bar, Koreatown, Los Angeles, CA

Cafe Solar
6224 W Manchester Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90045

Reallyyyy cute place.
I ordered French toast and grilled potatoes.
The toast was nothing special but lots of fresh fruits with it was nice.
The potatoes were on the oily side but decent garlic flavor.

I'd like to come back here if only for the vibe and decor lmao.








Document Coffee Bar
3850 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90010

Unfortunately I'm not a coffee person so I didn't get anything but this place was really nice, lots of space to do work.
