Saturday, Sept 2, 2017 - Tokyo Fried Chicken Co, Monterey Park

Tokyo Fried Chicken Co.
122 S Atlantic Blvd, Monterey Park, CA 91754

Kind of wish we could have gone in the daytime because I love the aesthetic of this restaurant!
We got the Truffle Butter Edamame, dinner for 2, potato salad, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese.

The chicken is reallllly good. 
I liked the mashed potatoes a lot but kind of too smooth/thin/pureed for me.
The potato salad is also good, kind of tart/sour taste to it.
Mac and cheese a little too salty for my taste and $6 for it seems a bit much.
The non-spicy ponzu sauce was yummy, the spicy version a little too hot for me lmao.

I would love biscuits, too!

Overall I liked it a lot and would like to come back!
Particularly in the daytime when my pictures will be prettier, kek

Seriously love their lettering work.












Half & Half

I got the iced milk drink with caramel and pudding, sooooo yummy.
Probably one of the better versions of this drink out there.
And the original, apparently?
Too bad it's so far away!

Coco Fresh Tea & Juice
8336 Lincoln Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90045

Got the pudding milk tea because they didn't have any salt cream lmao.
It's just the house tea with pudding.
I thought it was pretty good.

AU79 Tea Spirit

The plaza itself isn't great but the shop is a decent place to study or meet.
Unfortunately didn't take any pictures!

Saturday, August 19, 2017 - Skincare: Mediheal, Innisfree Masks, Banila Clean It Zero

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

I'm pretty sure I never see Innisfree stocked in stores!
They have a lot of Korean brands like Iope, Nature Republic, Clio, Peripera, etc.
Also many Japanese brands!
Nice to find these Mediheal ones with the Line characters.
Also wanted to try the Banila Clean it Zero so picked that up.
Might be back!

Thursday, August 17, 2017 - Hwang Hae Do, Koreatown

Hwang Hae Do
429 N Western Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90004

First time seeing the rice paper wrap at a Korean restaurant (cause it's a Vietnamese thing afaik haha!).
It was ayce for like $18 and up depending on what you want. 
There was sooo much food we didn't even need to order more.

Really good for all the extras but I'm not too picky anyway, kek.
