Hollywood Bowl

this past Saturday, a couple friends and I went to the Hollywood Bowl

Korean Music Festival

I had a blast!! 

we decided that next year, we'd buy the tickets to sit up front ^^

looking through the pictures I took, 

I realized that they're all food pictures....zero pictures of humans -___-

oh well...let me share with you our adventure!

before heading to our destination, we made a couple stops ensure that we wouldn't go hungry

or original plan was to go to Julienne, pick up food from the market and go...

but when we got there, the food wasnt really want we wanted, so we just picked up some desserts.

off to Portos we went for some sandwiches and well..more desserts!

as soon as we got settled into our seats, we put together our plastic wine glasses

enjoyed our drinks, ate cheese and crackers and our food and enjoyed the show.

so under these cake pops were:

slice of white cake with cream and strawberry from Porto's

we also got mango mousse from Porto's ....

but I guess i forgot to take a picture of it

it was very delicious.

 

 creme brule - from Julienne

coconut macaroons - Julienne

these were huge and pretty good.

if you're a fan of coconut and don't mind coconut overload,

you would love these.

lemon meringue in between 2 almond cookies-Julienne

these were my favorite i think

the lemon meringue was very tart and light 

and the almond cookies = perfect compliment

yumm....

cookie with chocolate mousse and chocolate cover - Juliennes

perfect bite for chocolate lovers...

Glendale Veggie- Porto's

roasted egg plant, peppers, and zucchini, with havarti cheese, hummus spread, lettuce, tomatoes, on wheat

Pan con Lechon (Roasted Pork Sandwich)- Porto's

slow roasted pork, mojo garlic sauce, and grilled onions, on a grilled Cuban bread

Cubano (Cuban Sandwich)- Porto's

slow roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, mustard, and pickles, on Cuban bread

this one was a bit salty...they messed up on our order -___-

we asked for no mustard, no cheese

we got no mustard, no pickle -_____-

we also had their famous potato balls...

but we ate them all before i managed to take a picture :(

can't wait for my next food adventure....

until then...here's a picture of a cute owl piggy bank I saw at Target

*this one is for you Pauline*

~~*hoot hoot*~~

Cake Pop Test Run

After being asked to make edible wedding favors, 

I kept thinking of cake pops and decided that I would give it a try.

This past weekend was the perfect time to test these out because well..

Saturday was the Korean Music Festival so that meant I had guinea pigs for my first set. :)

boxed and ready for pick up.

*i think i would've cut the box to make it shallower...make it easier to take out of the box and more presentable*

Tour of Riverside

i went to Riverside last week to celebrate a friends birthday.

we decided to eat the cheap comfort foods of riverside ^^

so the 4 of us met up and headed on our journey.

 

TIO'S TACOS - they have some amazing ONE DOLLAR tacos (mon-thurs)

this place is actually in Moreno Valley....its very very good and pretty big...extremely filling.

**here, we found 10 bucks on the floor and this made our trip almost free haha**

 

then we came to a place called "GETAWAY CAFE" for their MONSTER FRIES.

this tastes like animal fries from IN N OUT.

fries, cheese, thousand island sauce.

*paid with our 10 bucks*

 

TACO STATION - then we went to get my favorite churros of all time!!

STUFFED CHURROS!!!

they're stuffed with bavarian cream.

*paid with the remaining of our 10 bucks + 2 dollars*

 

look at that center...i wish you were there to see it in real life...

its just the perfect amount of cream in the center. ^^

seriously makes me happy inside.

perfect way to end the night.
