Awhile back, Jan and I had the pleasure of doing a food tasting for our good friend Tim.   It was fun and a night out with out the kiddos.  His new restaurant is called Soi 7 (Thai Fusion).  It’s not open yet, but it’s coming soon and it’s located in downtown LA.  I haven’t gone to see the location and place, but Jan said it’s going to be pretty awesome. 

I’m not much of a food critic because I loved everything..hahah!  Sorry Tim, I hope I was able to give some good feedbacks.  Jan and I came out of the tasting so full and really enjoyed a sneek peek at their menu.  We definitely can’t wait for the restaurant to open.  The food was deeeeeeeeelious!!!  I took a few pics..  Enjoy!!

This appetizer is pretty unique. It had all kinds of flavor going on. I enjoyed it!

This is sooooo good.  I love seafood!!  The scallops were perfectly cooked. One of my favorites!!!

Yummy trout dish!!!

Steamed fish… very yummy too.

OMG!!! The best pork belly salad around. The pork just pulled right off and the salad had a nice light citrus dressing.  The combo was excellent!!  Another favorite!!!

I really like this dish too… Jan ate most of it because I was too full to eat it :(

You definitely have to save room for this AWESOME dessert!! Even though I was full…I ate the whole dessert by myself… it was that good :)  That’s probably why I can’t seem to lose weight

They also made clams, but it was sooooo good that I was too busy eating and forgot to take a picture .. Too bad, it’s not open yet…  but no worries.  If you want good reasonable Thai food, Tim does have another restaurant called Green Papaya in Alhambra. It’s the best Thai food in LA in my opinion. Go check it out…

Have a wonderful day!!!

July 4th was a crazy day for us.  Jan was up early claiming our picnic area at the park.  I was running around getting stuff ready for Lucas’s birthday party.  All in all, we ended up having a very nice day and Lucas had a blast.  Later that evening, Tim, Lisa, Dennis, Wendy, Jan, Nathan and I went to Downtown Disney to watch the firework show.  Lucas went with Mum, Danny, Mutya and Mark to watch the Irvine firework show.  I was a bit sad that Lucas wasn’t with us, but that’s okay I’m sure Mum enjoyed his company … and plus he’s seen the Disneyland show already up close and from inside.  Here are some pics of us chillin and waiting outside of Disneyland:

I know, I know… I’m so late this week. Sorry, I’ve been super busy these days. We had a big day today. Jan’s cousin Mutchie got married in Torrance. It was a small simple wedding with just family. I’ll probably blog more about it later. Let’s get back to my weekend update!

Friday night was so much fun. Jan and I had our second date night and it was a blast. Our good friends Mark and Jason graduated from USC Grad School that night. We didn’t make it to the ceremony, but joined them later for some fun. We headed out to LA and met up with our friends at Honda Ya for some drinks. Mark was having dinner with his family there, so we hung out with Jason, Tim and other peeps who were there too. We haven’t gone out like this for a long time..since we had kids. It was so fun and totally brought me back to my college days..hahah! After a few beers we headed out to J Lounge in Downtown LA. It was a pretty cool place. You know i’m old when I referred this place as clubbing earlier that night…LOL!! Jan and I saw a lot of people that we don’t normally see and it was fun! We were able to chill, drink and enjoy adult interaction..yay for us!!. It was kinda weird to see all these young girls trying to find guys there. Tim did make me feel old because I was wearing jeans..hahhaha! The in thing nowadays are skirts or tight dresses..hahahha! Yes, I am old because I did look around and nobody wears jeans anymore to these lounges It’s okay… I got a man I had a great time with Bub. I left him alone most of the night so he can have fun with his guy friends. Jan was a bit drunk, but i’m glad he had fun…Haahaha! Here are some pics from friday night!

Us again.

Saturday was a pretty relaxing day. I went to Juna’s birthday lunch at Open Sesame in Manhattan Beach. It was fun and the food was pretty good. I got to see my girls and enjoyed a lunch without the kiddos. Jan was on kid duties that day/ afternoon. He ended up having lunch with Timmy and Dennis so it wasn’t too bad. At least he had them to help him out with both kiddos :).  After Juna’s lunch we went to Wendy’s apt. to hang out since we were in the area and don’t get to see the LA peeps that often.  For dinner, Wendy and Dennis took us to this Cuban restaurant called Versailles.  It’s pretty well known in the area and got great reviews on Yelp.  The food was good and it totally brings in a lot of different people.

Sunday, was a weird day. We had made these plans to go to California Adventure with Lille and Mutch. They slept over and we ended up just chillin all day at home. It was a blistering hot day and i’m kinda happy we didn’t. The kiddos would have miserable and don’t even get me started with Jan and hot weather Plus, by the time we were almost ready to leave it was nap time for the kiddos and then we would only have a few hours before Jan and Lille had to go to LAX to pick up Tita Peggy, Lola and Tita Ad. We all drove to Cameo for dinner and on the way we had to make a stop at Yogurtland.. yummy!!! The kids had a good time hanging out. Later that evening I had a hard time getting the kiddos to bed. Maybe it was the heat, but they did not want to sleep. Lucas was getting cranky.. Finally, about 10pm I was able to get both kiddos to bed and relax a bit.

Hope you all had a nice weekend!!
