Old Town Orange

My cousins and I decided to try Bruxie; it's a waffle sandwich shop. It was my first time there and what I got was ok it tasted kind of bland. It's around $10 for a waffle sandwich and crisp cut fries combo add a drink it comes to around $13-15? I don’t really remember. Anyways what my cousin got tasted better but it pretty much depends on your taste. I wouldn't mind going again and trying different things on the menu, the waffles are good they also have dessert waffles!

After lunch we decided to walk around Old Town Orange.  Even though I've lived here for years I've never actually looked around at all the little hidden shops and never notice this cute small alley way! Only notice it because we saw a gelato and crepe place on the coroner I believe it is called Metropolitan Crepe.  I got a raspberry gelato it was very refreshing and fruity $4 for a small; comes with 2 scoops of gelato and you can get 2 different flavors.

My cousin from San Francisco is leaving today so we decided to just come home and hang out with the family until she has to go. Plus we were all tired and major food coma. Bruxie and Metropolitan Crepe have very friendly and helpful staff if you can't decide what you want to get. :)

Spending time with the cousins and boyfriend

My cousin from San Francisco came down to visit for a couple of days so I invited my boyfriend over to meet her for the first time and my cousin from Long Beach and her boyfriend came over too.  We decided to get sushi for lunch and went to this place called Kula Revolving Sushi Bar in Irvine, mostly everything is $2 except for certain items that can be found on the menu.  This is my go to place when I want good cheap sushi they have different varieties from raw to cooked sushi.

Made a bet with my boyfriend that he wouldn't try a sea urchin; he did but didn't like it. So I lost the bet since he ate it! BUT at least I got him to try it hehe :)

After sushi we walked down to a Taiwanese bakery called 85C Bakery Cafe.  Fresh pastries, bread and other goodies baked fresh daily.  Weekends can get pretty crowded lines go out the door but weekdays are usually fine.  Once you enter the store grab a tray and a tong and start picking whatever goodies you’d like. My all time favorite is in the cake section white chocolate strawberry cup! Yummy!

We ate dinner at home my mom bought house special lobster, duck, chicken feet, tripe, and made asian sesame chicken salad. (no pictures sorry everyone was hungry) After dinner we chilled and watched TV for couple hours then decided to go to Tebo Tebo Tea Lounge; it was pretty crowded and has loud music. There are lots of teas, slushy, smoothies to pick from and yummy brick toast I suggest sharing, it is pretty big.  My boyfriend and I got Paris in a Box it was good but we couldn't finish it.  After that we came home and watched a movie.  :) <3

The start of a new hobby

A little about me: I am Cambodian, part Chinese, and Viet but I've only been raised in the Cambodian culture and only know how to speak Khmer. I'm pretty shy when it comes to meeting new people but I’m working on it. What is there to be shy about right?

The man in my life: Growing up you see things in fairy tale movies about when you find your special someone your soul mate you’ll know.  You’ll get butterflies in your stomach, you’ll feel sparks when you kiss, your lips tingle, and you just melt.  I did believe that for while growing up as a kid but after my share of heart breaks I didn’t think that could ever happen and when I was just about to give up on love he pops out of nowhere like my knight in shining armor.  He supports me in everything I do and is the most patient person I know.  He always has a smile on his face and looks on the brighter side of things.  He has definitely taught me a lot to always look on the brighter side when it gets hard and that life’s to short to not enjoy it. It is your choice to be happy and not get worked up over issues that shouldn’t matter in the first place. 

On our spare time we like to go on adventures in the nearby cities finding inexpensive things to do and exploring hidden gems.  The current city we love to go to at the moment is San Diego where he is originally from.  We both love San Diego; it has beautiful beaches, great sites to see, and great food.

My cooking: I love to cook!  Experimenting on new recipes, making things from scratch, baking I love it all! Seeing people enjoying what I cook makes me feel great and gives me the courage to try and make different varieties of food.  Most recent things I’ve been making is Korean food thanks to all of the Korean dramas I have watched.  But I am looking forward to trying different culture foods especially learning more about Cambodian food.

Other hobbies: I like to do a lot of D.I.Y projects like sewing, knitting, small house projects, and simple gifts. I feel that if you make it yourself it's more meaningful. Especially if you are on a tight budget but still want to give someone a special gift.

Thanks for taking the time to read a little about me! I am new to this site and it will take some time to get use to. But I hope you would want to follow and read about my random life I will be posting tons of little adventures, cooking stuff, D.I.Y projects, and random things I like at the moment in the near future.  Lots of love :) <3
