If you recall a few months ago, I talked about authentic Hawaiian ice and how good it was. Well thankfully, a friend of mine told me right after that post went live, that theres a Hawaiian Ice place right here in the South Bay, Torrance to be exact. Calling Get Shaved popular was really one of the biggest understatements. The

Yes, Ocean Diner was yet another place I’d mean to visit but never got a chance to, until a few weekends ago. The line stretched out the door as I had grown accustomed to seeing. However, the wait wasn’t too long though. What attracts me to diners is that they seem so comforting. All the nostalgic decor just made me

I like supporting local businesses. It just gives me a good feeling. I stumbled upon Old Torrance Coffee & Tea a year ago and I remember really liking it, but sadly I kept forgetting to go back. I was in the area so I of course walked on in. And they had a cute and colorful menu board a comfy

I’m not participating in Muffin Monday this week so I decided to post on its more flamboyant cousin, the cupcake. Let’s face it, we’re lured to these decorative beauties. We ogle at them in display cases. We don’t care if we have to run an extra mile after we’ve devoured a few. It’s worth it. The good news for

If there’s one thing I miss about living in Hermosa, it’s literally seeing the ocean the minute I walked out of the apartment. I also miss the walks on the strand, just steps away from my house. This is why I jumped at the chance to try The Strand House thanks to an invitation from BWR PR. I was taken

Yes I took you all back to 1999 with the title. I didn’t mean to, it was just the first thing that came to mind when a fellow foodie suggested I should try The Crush Bistro in El Segundo. If you’ve ever been to Main Street in El Segundo, you know how “Mayberry” like it can be. All poised, manicured

We were looking for a place to eat in Manhattan Beach. We decided to go to the plaza that houses Sashi, a Cold Stone, and a Color Me Mine since it’s a high traffic area. There we found Petros. A restaurant who’s Greek name poses as its reflection on the sign.Perhaps it reflects its Greek & Californian fusion. At any

I was treated out to lunch last week by the kind people at Wagstaff Worldwide. I was informed that Sammy’s Wood Fired Pizza & Grill started right here in SoCal, San Diego to be exact. Lucky for the South Bay, we get to try it out without going outside of our bubble! I was told that it was more than

I love Old Torrance. I do need to go there more often. There’s just something about the narrow streets, the style of the buildings, the layout which just makes things seem so laid back despite being in a sprawling town. Just traveling less than 10 minutes takes me away from all that craziness for just a little bit. I’m glad

I can’t talk about Hawaii without mentioning Loco Moco. It’s simply a hamburger with gravy & a fried egg on top of a bed of rice. It’s just that easy to prepare that I’ve made them at home. Nonetheless being the little foodie that I am, I wanted to have it on the island where it came from. On one
