Yes, I wrote about Hide Sushi many many times.  But actually I haven't been there since April, and I miss it BAD.  We got takeout the other day to avoid the long wait on a Saturday night.  Since I wrote about it so many times, let's just look at the pictures this time.... and drool, of course.

Cat in hat makes $10 million for town

This calico cat Tama is sooooo cute! She works at a train station in Japan and made the town US$10 million! I want to go to Japan to visit her now!



Ahhh.... she reminds me of Strawberry. Strawberry was also a tri color calico cat. Just as cute, too! By the way, do you guys know that all calico cats are females?

Thank you, Ayami, for forwarding me this super cute video! ^^

[Monterey Park] [Chinese] Noodle House

My parents love northern Chinese cuisine.  They love noodle, dumpling and buns.  After reading ExileKiss' post on Noodle House, I just had to take my parents to try it.  All their dumplings and buns are made to order.  Anything freshly made must taste good.  ExileKiss has some great pictures that made me drool.  I even wrote down all the dishes that ExileKiss recommended.  And yes!  My parents love it!



Noodle House is a humble looking restaurant located in a Chinese strip mall.  The restaurant is quite small, only about 5 or 6 tables.  As soon as you walk into the restaurant, you can see a group of Chinese ladies busy making dumplings and buns behind the counter.  They have many different buns and dumplings, as well as noodles.

Moving.... and How?

Hey guys.  I am going to move my blog to a new URL this weekend.  I am getting harrassed by a crazy person and I don't want this person to read my blog.  But I am not sure what should I do?  I want to tell my readers my new website, but I can't post it here because Crazy will follow, too.  But even if I change the address, Crazy can still google and find the new address, right?  So suggestions, please?  How can I tell me readers the new website but not letting Crazy know the URL?  Hmmmm....

UPDATE:  ahha!  Problem solved!  Maybe I don't need to move the blog anymore.  I did some googling and figured out how to block certain IP address from reading my blog.  So there....  Thanks to Crazy.  I learned something new!  ^^

For my Animal Handling and Restraint class, we took a field trip to Santa Ana Zoo.  We had a special lecture and zoo tour from one of the zookeepers.  It was very informative and fun.  Santa Ana Zoo is small, but they speciaized in primates.  Lots of monkeys.  Since monkey is my favorite animal, I really like this little zoo.



The zookeeper gave us a 1 hour lecture about various animals in the zoo.  She also brought couple lived one for us to play with.  She was holding a iguana in the picture.

[Alhambra] [Fusion] Savoy Kitchen

I told Dr. Park about the famous Hainan Chicken Rice at Savoy every time we pass by the tiny restaurant.  There are always people waiting on the sidewalk.  After hearing me talking about how great the Haiana Chicken Rice is at Savoy, Dr. Park suggested to try it on a Saturday night.  The wait was not as long as we expected.  15 minutes, got a table inside.


Iced Cappuccino ($2.00)

We started the meal with a cup of iced cappuccino.  I've always liked Savoy's cappuccino.  Perfect blend of sweet and bitter.

For my Exotic Animal Management class, we took a field trip to Shambala Preserve.  It is a rescue center for big cats.  They have more than 70 cats, including lions, tigers, cougars, black and spotted leopards, servals, bobcats, Asian leopard cats, jungle cat, lynx, and liger.  The preserve was founded by Tippi Hedren, an actress who starred in the move "The Bird".  We had a very informative and fun tour at the preserve.



The entrance, also a small gift shop inside.
