"Casual" Weekday Lunch

Parents went to Chinese supermarket to buy grocery in the morning.  The came http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com and dad said casually, "lunch will be ready in 40 minutes."  When they called me to go downstairs for lunch, I was surprised how "casual" it was.



Dungeness crab and shrimp!  Everything was brought alive from the market.  My dad just boiled them.  The thought of throwing live crab and shrimp into boiling water still made me go "ouch".  But the taste of live seafood was so good and I soon forgot about the suffering of the animal.

The Beautiful Bazaar

Yesterday I blogged about the food at The Bazaar. Today I want to show more pictures of the place.



The first time I went to the restroom, I didn't bring my camera with me.  I actually went back to the restroom again just to take pictures!  haha....  The bathroom is huge!  And you can see yourself on the toilet from every angle!  Seriously!  The entire stall, including the door, has mirror walls.  It was.... different.  And I didn't know whether I should stare at myself peeing or not.

What is THE one new Los Angeles restaurant everybody's been talking about?  Gotta be The Bazaar by Jose Andres.  The restaurant recently received a rare 4 stars reviewfrom Los Angeles Times!  This was one of the restaurants I really want to try from the dineLA list.  Unfortunately, we didn't make it during that two weeks.  But since dineLA has been extended till the end of February, Dr. P took me to Bazaar to celebrate my birthday.  It was my first experience with molecular gastronomy cuisine.  I never knew "foam" could taste so delicious!



The Bazaar is located inside the posh SLS Hotel.  We checked in with the hostess at the lobby, and seated in the Rojo Room.  We could see the busy chefs + Marcel Vigneron working at the kitchen.  It was Marcel Vigneron from Top Chef Season 2!

34

My birthday was on 2/16.  I turned 34!  I can't believe time went by that fast.  I mean, I still feel like 16 inside.  haha....  For some women, age is a secret that you don't tell or you try to hide.  I really don't understand that.  For me, I don't mind sharing at all.  I am quite proud of my age.  I have 34 years of life experience to make me the person I am today!



Dr. P gave me the cutest birthday card ever!  The cute kitten brings a smile to my face every time I look at the card.  I had mentioned to Dr. P about this book "Heat" that I want to read.  I thought he wasn't really listening.  (Yes, I talk a lot.  And most of them time he just answers "uh-huh uh-huh" like a typical guy who doesn't listen.)  But Dr. P actually listened and remembered!  He bought me the book!  Ok, so I guess men do listen, sometimes.
