my neck of the woods

I went to a park near my house the other day. No one was there besides 2 lovebirds who were making out on the benches. hehe. I'm trying to be less lazy and utilize all by bags and clothes, because otherwise they just sit in my closet/ racks and never see the light of day. I got this bag for Christmas last year and have worn it like once. The sheer tank I also bought last year and wore for the first time! I'm loving my new jacket from F21, with its faux suede finish and cascading ruffle front collar, so soft and warm.

 Since the weather has suddenly become so chilly, theres nothing better than having this spicy seafood/pork/ noodle concoction. Jjambbong: a classic Korean/ Chinese dish, this seafood base soup is spicy and delish and will certainly warm you right up. It contains pork, squid, carrots, pumpkin, onions, black mushrooms, and noodles! I'm usually very wary of restaurants inside of markets, but this place is pretty legit.

 Tang Su Yook- crispy fried pork with sweet and sour sauce. yummy~

Hong Kong Ban Jum inside of Ka ju Market- Koreatown.

TAPS

 So the bday celebration continues, but I'm happy to oblige. I love food :)

We went to Taps Fish House and Brewery. I love how big and open the space is with really high ceilings, separated into 2 different areas: the dining room and bar. 

 Yummy and fresh oysters

 I love bread, with evoo and spicy balsamic vinegar

 Crabby cakes, very creamy and delish.

 Granny Apple Salad

Miso Marinated Chilean Sea Bass
Pan roasted marinated Chilean sea bass served on Japanese rice & sauteed spinach. Accompanied by red, green and yellow pepper jam. SO GOOD. The sea bass was cooked to perfection and  so soft and flaky. LOVED this dish.

 16 oz, rib eye. eh... we are at a fish house afterall...

 Salmon

 Shots!

 As you can see I enjoyed my sea bass very much (no carbicide). Not so much my bf's rib eye.

 I found my new fav alcohol. RUMPLE MINZE. Peppermint Schnapps. So minty and refreshing~

Home for the holidays and it feels so good. The weather finally cooperated and felt like a so-cal winter. I busted out my boots with the fur and my little sweater dress. hehe. There's nothing like the feeling of coming home to a house filled with love and yummy food. And of course opening presents underneath our fake white wire Christmas tree thats up year round. lol
