[Aliso Viejo] [American] Original Pancake House

Entertainment Book is really awesome! Because of it, we found a lot of great restaurants. Original Pancake House was one of them. It's so close to our house, and we didn't even know about it before!
We came on a weekday morning, and the restaurant was completely full. People don't have to work around here? But... we were also there. haha....

Last time we tried Himalayan cuisine at Himalayan Grill. This time we went back with Entertainment Book coupon to try their Indian food.
Condiments
The condiments on the table were all very good. I especially liked the pickled cauliflower.

[Arcadia] [Japanese] Tokyo Table
Tokyo Table
400 S Baldwin Ave
Arcadia, CA 91007
(626) 445-4000
http://www.tokyotable.com
I found out from my brother that Tokyo Table in Arcadia has all you can eat shabu shabu now. He went twice already, and said it was good. Besides shabu shabu, there are also a few appetizers and rolls included in the all you can eat deal. Drinks are included, too. All that for only $15.95 per person. What a great deal! I really wanted to go try it. So I got my parents, brother and sister-in-law to go with me.
Edamame ($2.50)
We started by ordering a round of all the appetizers and rolls included in the all you can eat deal. Gotta have some edamame to start off a Japanese meal. (I wrote the original price here for reference.)

[Irvine] [Taiwanese] 梁媽媽家 Liang's Kitchen
Liang's Kitchen
梁媽媽家
5408 Walnut Ave #1
Irvine, CA 92618
(949) 262-1404
We passed by Takaraya a few months ago and noticed that people were working on remodeling inside. We thought it was Takaraya working on upgrading their decor. But sadly, it was closed. We liked the food from Takaraya. So Liang's Kitchen opened at this location. The line has been crazy since it opened. I went to Liang's Kitchen in San Gabriel before, and thought the food was just alright. It definitely wasn't worth waiting in line for one hour for. But we still wanted to try Liang's Kitchen in Irvine. Maybe it's better than San Gabriel location so the line is always long? Dr. P called and ordered the food to-go before he went to pick it up. No waiting that way.
紅燒筋肉麵 Beef & Tendon Noodle Soup ($6.75)
We got their famous Beef & Tendon Noodle Soup with handmade wide noodle. The only thing I liked about this was that it came with pickle vegetable. The noodle was soggy. Beef was overcooked and too chewy. Barely any tendon in the soup. And the soup was sweet. Hmmm.... Don't like it at all.

[Garden Grove] [Pakistani] Al Madinah Halal Meat and Market
Al Madinah Halal Meat and Market
14282 Brookhurst St #1
Garden Grove, CA 92843
(714) 531-2000
I went to Garden Grove to fix my PlayStation 3. Afterward, I randomly flipped through Entertainment Book to find a place for lunch. Al Madinah's description from Entertainment Book made it sounds like an Indian restaurant.
It still looked like a restaurant from outside. But then I walked in.... and it was a little grocery store.

Kirkland Spiral Sliced Hams
I was shopping at Costco. Passed by one of those food sampling station, and tried a piece of Costco's Kirkland Spiral Sliced Hams. They served the sample cold, and it was really good. I picked the smallest ham I could find for about $18.
Kirkland Spiral Sliced Hams
The ham was already fully cooked and ready to eat. But I wanted to serve it hot. I heated it up in the oven, also added the glaze. The ham was so moist and juicy. It was soooooo good! Turned out the smallest ham was still too big for two of us to finish in a week. I ended up throwing half of it away. :-(
