舞

went to the japanese restaurant in beverly hills called Mai last night. it's a buffet and even tho it was a buffet, the place was really small. not cramped, but kinda small. でも、その分、料理のクオリティーは高かったと思う。そこいらにあるバイキングよりよっぽどおいしかった。

they had a lot of fish! 私焼き魚とか大好きだから、メッチャうれしかったですね。後はお寿司も結構品揃えが良かったですね。そのほかにも揚げのあんかけやてんぷら・フライ、おでんなど等色々ありましたね。they also had quite a few different desserts too. and because the place was small, they would only have a few of each dish out so for the most part, the food was really fresh. ま、普通の和食レストランにはちょっぴり及ばないけど、やはりバイキングにしては絶品でしたね。

Fat Spoon

went to Fat Spoon, the new curry and pasta place in little tokyo. it was to celebrate my birthday as well as someone else's. 自分の誕生日はまだ先だけどね。anyways, quick question. what's up with japanese restaurants teaming up pasta and curry??? 日本ではそういうの無いと思う。自分は見たことが無い。でも、こっちだとなぜか大体のパスタ屋さんはカレーもやってる。like, curry house, and ducks, and akane chaya. なぜ??

anyways, so we went to fat spoon. there were 6 people total. 二人はカレー、四人はパスタと分かれた。私はパスタ。i got the shrimp and fresh basil. the others were bolognese, carbonara, and pescatore. the curry's were pork katsu curry and beef curry. most of us ended up getting a bite from most of the others so i was able to try all the pastas plus the pork katsu curry. おいしかった!和風でしたね。麺の湯で加減も絶妙。ただ、自分のパスタがイマイチでしたね。残念。でも、カルボナーラとボロネーゼがおいしかった。ペスカトーレもさっぱりでおいしかった。

they have other things, like salads and mini appetizers. i'd like to try some the next time i go!

Bar Celone & 二世ウィーク

darn, it's been a while since i've updated.... 最近ちょっぴりメンドクサイなぁなんて思っております。ごめんなさい。

so, had a hang out/going away dinner for my friends this past saturday. went out to Bar Celona in Old Town Pasadena. 最初はなんか、予約が無いと座れないとか言ってたのに、結局は座れることに。意味分からないね。got a pitcher of red sangria and some tapas as well as a paella. mmmmm. delissssssssssh! the sangria was whatevs, since i'm not much of a wine fan. 運転してたから、一応1.5杯に収めておきました。the food was really good tho. i really liked it. i think this was my first try with Spanish food. but it's sticking :)

afterwards, we went to a friends house to hang out with other people that didn't come to the dinner. 高校からの友達が多かったけど、ほとんどあんまり会う機会が無いから、うれしかったね。the guy whose house we kinda took over was someone i didn't know so that was a bit awkward at first but he was really nice so had some fun.

で、日曜日は二世ウィークパレード。知ってる人が結構出ててビックリ。仕事関係の人が何人か出るって聞いていたけど、それ以上に出てたね。（笑）man, it was kinda hot at first but once the sun went down, it got cold real fast. i think they had a lot more variety in the parade than when i went 2 years ago, but the nebuta was really sad. ホントしょぼかった。ハネトさんの数も激減。「ねぶた」自体も全然小さいし盛り上がらなかったね。o well, 残念。

ま、来年はもっといいのが見れるといいな。
