Back from food heaven
It’s my first night back from Taiwan and I’m cracked out jet lagged. I might as well get some blogging done! Here are some pics from the trip.
This bowl full of warm thick soup was waiting for us when we arrived at the apartment. It was nice to have something warm and comforting in the tummy after a long restless flight.
I can’t believe we spent the whole day at the salon! 7 hours of being pampered was indeed the best way to start the new year, we left relaxed and happy and later crashed at dinner.
Aaand…that was it. Didn’t quite make it through the entire meal!
New year’s eve dinner at the Grand hotel club house.

Wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous new year! Looking forward to another year full of new noodle adventures! 
Gardena, CA: Spoon House Cafe & Bakery
Hot diggity, a Japatalian restaurant! Does anyone have any idea how rare these are?
Love the red tables
10 minutes isn’t long at all! Will wait for good food.
Cod Roe Spaghetti with Uni, Seaweed & Oyster Mushrooms! Yes please!
I ordered the Japanese style clam with shiso leaf topping which I thought was ok. The shiso leaf added a nice freshness…like mint but milder. Japanese style is clam juice as the sauce. I should have followed my first instinct and ordered something with a tomato sauce.
Although I wasn’t 100% content with my order, it was still pretty yummy. The flavors were delicate and light and the noodles were perfectly al dente. The star was definitely the noodles!!! Chewy and doing doing! A new destination restaurant for future L.A. trips.
