First foods of 2012

Before posting for February, got to document the January eats.

Mapodofu, egg and tomato soup, shrimp with black vinegar, cabbage, and wood ear mushrooms

My friend, Hantten, invited Ingrid and I over to her place in South Pasadena for lunch. We were given a tour of the area and then were treated to a 5 course cuisine! Thanks Hantten! :)

Next, Beijing Beef - inspired by Panda Express. Loosely based off of this recipe:

Salmon and simmered pumpkin with (of course) rice.


Tri-tip: salt, pepper, garlic, and brown sugar dry rub.



Perfect on the outside and inside!!

And finally, a pistachio and coconut macaron from Little Tokyo.

The first macarons I had that were actually GOOD. Thanks EDeng!

Other happenings:


I got to meet Sean "Day[9]" Plott at the USC eSports club! He's a game shoutcaster for Starcraft 2 tournaments and also hosts an (almost) daily web series called the Day[9] daily, where we learn how to be a better gamer. <3

Finally, a highlight from a 1 hour 45 min study session for class... we're forced to record and submit it to the professor to watch... every week.

Destroyed.
