When you got the time

Paris Baguette + Kungfu

So what do you get when you mix a French inspired Korean bakery with Kungfu?

Nothing. 

Unless you are talking about Kungfu bubbletea then we are in business. Although on the heavier side of combinations, these two places are right next to each other, connected by a doorway. Paris Baguette offers a wide range of pastries that ranges from delicate cakes you only want to take pictures of and never eat to savory pastries that brings you a taste of en francais. Kungfu bubbletea offers exactly that: authentically tasting bubbletea flavors. Be sure to try out their Taro milk tea, although I cannot confirm if its made from just another powder jar or not, you wouldn't care either if you tried it. Their red bean "wow" tea is also worth exploring.

How's the bubbletea? It's "noice". So it's nice? No, there's no ice. HAR!

When Sisters Meet

Baidu Shabu Shabu

Hotpot traditionally has always been eaten with the idea of family as its core value. The act of sharing is best demonstrated with communal pots (although in this case, we got individual ones) and on-the-spot cooking. Baidu is usually packed with loyal customers that come for quality over quantity. Although your wallet will feel lighter after the meal, your stomach definitely will not. 

P.S. Always a good idea to bring your girlfriend's sister here :)

A Hearty Shopper's Meal

Desert Moon Fresh Mexican Grille

What to do after spending a whole day at a premium outlet, shopping over dozens of stores, hunting for that final sale to make the coupon cut and carrying proud bags of your accomplishments? Eat a delicious Mexican food at the local food court! Putting the cherry on top of this one: there is also a coupon for 10% at this place. Do be careful to not order more than you can handle, this place tends to have that effect on its customers :)

Where unlikely organic animals gather

Bareburger - Just about everything in this burger house is organic and natural. Even the furnishings are from recycled materials! Aside from its eco-friendly commitments, the food tastes like ur saving humanity as well. Burgers feature exotic animals from bison to ostriches to wild boars. Mixed in with some delicious mystery dipping sauces, this burger resto is definitely worth visiting. Even if you aren't all hyped about saving the environment or animals' well being.

Where home is

Woorijip - a near perfect combination of Val and I's current social status and food preferences. We are both students, neither of us earn much above minimum wage (I'm not even employed), and we both love Korean food. Woorijip is located in Korea Town, is cheap (6.99 per pound), is buffet styled and above all else, the food tastes great.
