When I went Los Angeles last August for the last leg of my US trip I stayed with my cousin Sidney in Valencia which was about 30 minutes from L.A. Unfortunately when I arrived his family was still on vacation in Napa. Good thing I had yaya Lorna for company. We went to the nearbyContinue reading “Dinner at Red Lobster”

If you’ve been following my blog I started out my trip in San Francisco and ate my wayContinue reading “Lunch at 26 Beach”
Lunch at Founding Farmers
After visiting Newseum I walked to the restaurant my cousin Sharon chose for us to have lunch at. Sharon told me I could take the bus or the Metro but I decided to walk the 14 blocks from 6th St. to 20th St. It didn’t look that far from Google maps which said I wouldContinue reading “Lunch at Founding Farmers”
Lunch at Restaurant Eve
La brought me to Old Town, Alexandria to try one of the most lauded restaurants in the Virginia/DC area, Restaurant Eve. The restaurant was located in a historic warehouse that the owners converted into a quaint restaurant. To get to the restaurant’s front door you have to pass through this dark hallway. The restaurant hadContinue reading “Lunch at Restaurant Eve”
Lunch at Waffle House
My wonderful cousins granted my wish to go to New York. Even though it was only for a weekend and way to short it was good enough for me. Halfway through our 4 hour drive from DC to New York we decided to eat lunch. I realized that the hardest thing on a road tripContinue reading “Lunch at Waffle House”

The dishes feature a vast array of seasonalContinue reading “Lunch at PassionFish”
Brunch at Carlyle
My cousin Sha and her friend Carmela really know all the best places to eat in Virginia and DC. They brought me to Shirlington, an urban village in Arlington, Virginia. I really liked the way it looked, with red brick roads and so many restaurants side by side. We went to Carlyle for brunch. CarlyleContinue reading “Brunch at Carlyle”
Dinner at Clyde’s of Reston
My recent trip to the USA had me rethinking about American Food. It’s definitely not the stereotype I had in my mind. My meal at Clyde’s was definitely good American food. Clyde’s of Reston is just one of the 13 restaurants under Clyde’s Restaurant Group. This was located in my favorite Reston Town Center. TheirContinue reading “Dinner at Clyde’s of Reston”

Before going to the USA for a vacation I really planned to try as many burgers as I can to find theContinue reading “The best burger I ever ate – Ray’s Hell Burger”
Dinner at Bonefish Grill
Bonefish Grill is one of my cousins’ favorite restaurants for fresh fish dishes. I was curious why they liked it so much. I always thought Americans didn’t eat much fish and seafood so I was surprised to see the restaurant packed so early. The bar area was equally full. It was a good thing weContinue reading “Dinner at Bonefish Grill”
