Oven & Fried Chicken, Singapore
Singaporean chicken. Yum! Similar to hainan chicken. But the chicken is steamed not boiled. Flavor soup! Love the hole-in-the-wall joint. Would recommend and would visit again. . . .

Thai food at Supanniga - a Michelin rated restaurant. Very good lunch with an old buddy. Haven’t been to Bangkok since 2011. Fresh coconut juice was refreshing and set my expectations high. . . .
Enjoying the experience at Koh Samui. Interesting airport, big Buddha, and the resort. Had a great time. Could have stayed longer. Fun times! . . .
Great outdoor Thai restaurant in Koh Samui. Had the crispy pork belly with rice. Also had the spicy pork neck soup and papaya salad. Yummy lunch. Really spicy and flavorful. . . .
Cantonese Bbq pork and roast pork belly over rice and pork meat ball soup. At short stop at HKG airport with a classic Cantonese deli meal. When I lived in HKG this was my favorite meal. I found great little restaurants that served this classic dish. Yet the first time I had this dish was in LA. I remember my mom bringing home bbq pork in a paper bag lined with foil. I remember later in college, we’d go to Sam Woo’s 三和 in Chinatown to order this or beef chow fun. I later grew to appreciate roast pork belly, too. Bbq pork or chasu or 叉燒 or cha siu. . . .
Nectar of gods or motor oil. Moutai Jiu is undisputed and most popular white wine of China. My classmates and I had a great dinner with Moutai. From the southwest region of China in Guizhou, Moutai has a unique flavor - you have to grow to like it. But some people will feel that Chinese white wine is like motor oil or rubbing alcohol. Strong AF. I do not recommend going up against anyone in a drinking contest if they can drink Chinese white wine. The typical shot of white wine is the size of a thimble. When u was in HKG I had a few drinking buddies who called ourselves the Moutai club. I have loads of stories of Chinese white wine. Another unique thing about this stuff is- you won’t get a hangover. I also think that Moutai, like tequila, get better after the third shot. Sorry for the ramblings. . . . .china
Had a burger today. A Chinese burger - black pepper beef Rou Jia Mo 肉夾饃. These are great. Shaanxi cuisine. Typically lamb is used. But you can find chicken, pork, or beef. The meat is stir fried with seasonings and inserted in a flaky bun. . . .
Scallion oil noodles. 蔥油拌麵A Shanghainese dish. One of first things I had back in Shanghai. Haven’t been back here in years. . . .
Late night eats at an old favorite in a new location. The katsudon - pork cutlet with eggs and onion over rice. I usually get the oyakudon, but tonight I wanted something different. Unfortunately, it was quite salty - too salty for me. So, after the bill was paid, I told the server and owner. They welcomed the feedback and interestedly, they said feedback is great since it comes from customers that care. The poles that don’t care, and have issues, they just won’t return. I know I will return. And I also recommend. Suehiros was part of my college life. I will always associate Suehiros as part of little Tokyo. It is too bad they couldn’t stay at their 1st street location. . . .
Classic American Diner Breakfast at biscuits and gravy, sausage, eggs, and potatoes. Too bad they’re not open 24 hours anymore. They said they lack the staff and cooks to be open all day and night. They said so many people have been asking. It’s too bad since they’re not far from me. I’ve had so many memories of going there with friends from my days at USC, after late nights of fun, and just breakfast. Iconic LA place. . . .
Barbecue at Had the fatty beef brisket, bbq pork belly char siu, roast pork belly siu yuk, pork ribs, dirty rice, and mapo chili. Went with my fellow bbq judges. Big thanks to for setting it up! Glad we got there early, thank goodness for the rain, and the time change - or else we would have had to wait forever. I recommend the brisket - fatty, the roast pork belly siu yuk (if they didn't give me the burnt parts), dirty rice, and the mapo chili (which could have had more sichuan pepper corn seasoning). I'd visit again to try the beef ribs and chicken and might recommend if you're in the area. . . . .
Might be the best Char Siu in LA. If there is a better one please let me know. Check out for more pics . . . .
