As you might know, sweets is my favorite things. Because of this reason, I used to work at a patisserie in rowland heights for half year. When I worked there, I gained almost 6 pounds because I can eat cakes, drink coffee, and tea when no customers. One of my favorite dessert is Creme Burlee. The first time I had Creme Burlee was at the vegas Wynn buffet. I was wondering how can a pudding-like dessert be so delicious. Maybe it's the melted sugar on the top. Here is one of the creme burlee I found near my house. They taste not bad but the creme burlee is too small. The store called Vanille de Patisserie. You can try if you around huntington in san marino.
Have you ever tried all you can eat BBQ before? One of my favorite besides sweet is Korean BBQ. There is a restaurant called Road to Seoul in korean town. Their BBQ is the best all you can eat in L.A. Some all you can eat Korean BBQ restaurants have not so good meat quality, but Road to Seoul has good AYCE bbq . I love their menu has whole squid and beef rib. They always packed at dinner time. They have Tvs on the wall and play loud music like you are in a club. It's only $17.99 and $19.99 is for additional shrimps. Everything is good here, but I have to say they have bad services. Waitress always cook our food and push us to eat quick. If you have a waiter to serve you, you are lucky because male don't hurry you eat quick.

The dessert Honey Toast has been really popular in my native country. I just found out there is a store selling honey toast in San Gabriel Valley, so my friend and I give them a try. The store was really busy. Maybe it's memorial weekend. They sell drinks, cakes, and breads there. After we ordering the honey toast, they kept us waiting for more than 30 mins. It's such a long wait. Especially when I saw people have their orders on their table.
Here is our Honey Toast!! It's green tea red bean flavor. It's a little bit sweet for the chocolate part, but the toast taste not bad.
Half and Half is one of my favorite tea house. It is just like a coffee shop in U.S. They sells drinks with boba, pudding, grass jelly, and coconut jelly. I always order milk with boba and pudding. They make the ice into slush and add to milk and with boba and pudding at the bottom. Then I stir them all together, I taste the brown suger and the milk mix together. It's yummy!!!

By reading my blogs, you might know I love sweets. Macaroon is one of the dessert I love. I went to Paulette and bought 6 pieces of macaroon. It taste so good but pricy. For me only two bites then one macaroon is gone. Hence, my friend and I were thinking maybe we should make our own macaroon. So, she looked up the recipe on internet. Then we bought 2 dozen of eggs. Be honest, macaroon is so difficult to make, it took almost 5 hours and forever. The first time we made, we failed! After taking out from the oven, the cover of macaroon cracked. Also, we only found how to chocolate flavor. No wonder macaroon can be pricy because it is so difficult to make. We are thinking to look up more flavor recipes. Hope we can be success next time, just by doing one time!!!
This one bought from the store.
This picture is the one we made! This is the THIRD times we've tried!
Me and my friends are big fans of korean drama. We heard people who work at Haus are cute and handsome, waiters look like korean celebrity. We've been here few times after the first visited. This place serve with cake, coffee, and pasta. It's an asian cafe-like. Something I don't expect here is they also serve wine and beer. It's a great place to chill. They have big TVs, they play korean pop music/video. Sofas are comfy. Also every table has three little buttons labeled with water, bill, and service. You can press whatever you need and the waiter/waitress comes. It's cool. I like the idea every table has the button, if the waiters not around you, they still know what you need.
I am not a big fan of cupcake but there is always a line for a Sprinkles Cupcake. So my friends and I waited in line for almost 20 minutes, the cupcake was a little disappointed me! I bought the red velvet and chocolate marshmallow. Just by seeing the name, I thought chocolate marshmallow cupcake must have marshmallow inside but it turns out only the cake and whipped cream. Red velvet is delicious and I like the frosting.
There is something special for the Sprinkles Cupcakes which is they have cupcake ATM. The line for cupcake ATM is shorter and is open 24 hrs, the ATM take credit/ debit card, but is 50 cent extra than buy in the store. It's very convenient, people can buy a cupcake at 2 A.M., if they want some cupcake. The machine only deliver one cupcake at a time. I suggest to wait in line if you want to buy a lot, so don't get charge for many 50 cents extra.
Here is the ATM for cupcake, cupcakes are behind the machine.
