Mayflower

After watching Disney's OCEANS with Donny and his friends... we decided to eat Chinese food. Donny had a craving for seafood... lol Anyway here we are at Mayflower, one of the hidden jewels of this city. And theres Manny Pacquiao's pics posted all over the place. Hahaha!


Donny waiting for our order

Yum!

So there was this weird strange black British guy who asked us for food. He wanted to try out one of our dishes. We were all shocked... noone really do that in LA. Is it a cultural thing? At first we thought he was rude... but he seemed normal. But still...
I think he was dating a filipina too... and she was just laughing. Im like thinking... "control your date, ma'am". LOL!


It was a good dinner.

Hurry Curry Redux

Do you remember that day in September? We loved Hurry Curry so much we went back, LOL. Oh and I also got some cool pins.

Rainforest Cafe

Next stop, Rainforest Cafe. After attending the Harvest, we got a little hungry. We decided to drop by Downtown Disney to grab some grub. We ended up dining at the Rainforest cafe. It was pretty great... I ordered Nachos, Ervin ordered a chicken sandwich, and Don ordered barbeque chicken pizza.

Manna Korean BBQ

The gang is back (minus Raymond) Here we are at Manna All-You-Can-Eat Korean BBQ in Koreatown. I love this place! I always end up smelling like barbeque when I get home. I like the bulgogi beef and beef brisket. I eat them with my salad and rice wraps and dip'em into soy and vinegar and sesame oil.

Peace

What a wonderful way to jump start the weekend by spending time and having dinner with friends despite the long... loooong wait outside the restaurant. I got my guys and Venus got her girls together and we headed to Ichiban in Glendale. We waited outside for about an hour to get seated. Everyone was upset and hungry by the time we got in. Granted it was Friday and everyone and their momma's were out for dinner but dang... Oh, Ichiban...

The Gang at Ichiban

We all ordered sushi and chit chatted over dinner. It was awesome. These guys are so fun. We spent like $150 dollars for dinner for 8 of us. We should have gotten some sort of complimentary dish for waiting an hour outside before actually getting seated. All we got was a small bowl of edimame. Not enough for 8 of us to enjoy.
