[Cook] Stirred Fried Kimchi Rice Cake

Mother-in-law gave us some kimchi and rice cake to take http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com.  I had pork and tofu at http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com.  I remember this Korean dish with kimchi, pork, and tofu I had in restaurant.  Maybe I could add those ingredients together with rice cake?  The kimchi was http://www.eileenlikestoeat.commade.  It wasn't as strong/salty/spicy as store bought ones.  The taste was milder, but it was crunchier and fresher.  Since it was the kimchi that give the stirred fried rice cake its flavor, I thought I could add a little bit more Korean spicy chili bean paste to make it spicier.  Too bad I don't have any at http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com.  Also I think Korean people usually add green onion to their dishes, not cilantro.  But I only had cilantro in my fridge so that was what I used.  Dr. P said it tasted like a Korean Chinese dish.  haha....

Did you register to get your free Spicy Chicken Biscuit from Chick-fil-A?  You still have time if you haven't done so.



Do you have a Chick-fil-A calendar?  The calendar's pretty awesome.  Every month there is a coupon for a free item.  I printed out my free spicy chicken biscuit email and January coupon from the calendar, and went to Chick-fil-A in the rain.  I hate driving in the rain.  But for Chick-fil-A, I would do it!

So much rain!  When is the rain going to stop?  It was raining on the second day of 2011.  We had plan to go out for lunch.  But it was raining so we didn't want to go far.  I had a Groupon for Mobtown Pizza Cafe right near our http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com.  Pizza for lunch sounded good to me!



It's a pizza cafe with mob theme.  All of their menu items have some kind of mobster name in it.  They serve New York style thin crust pizza.  We also saw thick pieces of stuff pizza on the counter.  After we placed the order at the counter, the guy popped the food we ordered into the oven to heat them up.

[Rowlands Heights] [Korean] Feedable B-B-Q Buffet

Feedable B-B-Q Buffet
18311 Colima Road # A
Rowland Heights, CA 91748
(626) 964-9559

After having dumpling dinner with family in LA, we hurried down to meet with friends for dinner #2.  Our original plan was to go to Sam Han Korean BBQ.  When we got there at 7:30pm, they told us they won't have table for 10 till maybe 10pm.  Guess we just had to go somewhere else.  So we drove down the street to Feedable.  We used to come here back in the day... like 10, 15 years ago.  We used to think this place was pretty good back then.



I didn't really take pictures of the food because I was busy chatting and eating with friends.  But we did got a whole table full of food.  Comparing to Sam Han, Feedable seemed older, dirtier, and didn't have as much food to choose from at the buffet.  No wonder it was only half full on a Saturday night.  Because business was somewhat slow, the hot food and meat/seafood at the buffet looked like it had been there for a while.  We didn't really like this place that much.  The bill came out to $27/person not including tips.  Hmmm... not worth it in my opinion.

Teddy & Twinkle's New Year Party

We brought Teddy and Twinkle to mother-in-law's house. Dr. P's brother's girlfriend brought her dog Sophie. Dr. P's cousin brought her dog Peanut, and another cousin brought his dog Daisy. So the little ones had a party of their own!

My babies Teddy and Twinkle.  Aren't they adorable?

Korean New Year Food

Happy new year!!!!  How was everyone's new year?  We had a really fun day with family and friends.



When we got into the car to drive up to my mother-in-law's house, the time was 11:11!  So at that moment it was 1/1/11 11:11!!!!  Gotta take a picture for that special moment.
