Found of the Day: MMJ Oversize Jacket!

Though it was raining hard today I decided to go to Century City Mall to return some and have my favor ramen at their food court.  Luckily I went because I ended up finding a MMJ oversize jacket in my size for a ridiculously good price!  I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the price showing up at the price scanner, it was ~$86 down from $438, with additional 15% off the final price was about $83 including the tax!  I couldn't have passed it off for that price!


And I won a kindle at my DH's company Xmas party this week and got a surprise Xmas gift from my DH toady! What a lucky week for me it has been!  :-)

F21 Bohemian Long Skirt in White

Found the perfect bohemian long skirt from f21, which comes in both white and black.  I couldn't help but dig both ones.  I paired the white skirt with a denim shirt from Gap one day.

                               

Stop N Cafe @ 3rd Street Promenade

Went to check out the newly renovated Santa Monica Place today.  It was sunny, warm but not hot, perfect weather.  The new mall looks pretty good not great, but I was really impressed by the new Bloomingdale's store, very upscale and hip, love it!

Then went to the Greek cafe, Stop N Cafe on 3rd Street Promenade for an early dinner.  Had passed by this place many times, always wanted to try it.  Finally today was the day.

We ordered a Gyros Plate (with Pita, Taboly, Zaziki & Rice) and Lamb Shrank (with Pita, Lentil Soup and Greek Salad).  Both dishes were delicious (well, both of us love Greek cuisine anyway. :-)), gyros, pita were delicious, lamb shrank was very very tender, both taboly and zaziki were very refreshing.  I like the rice too, like the texture and aroma, different from Chinese rice.  Portions were just right.

HM Lace Dress & Animal Print Top

HM cream color lace dress, very pretty.  I would like to shorten the sleeves a little bit though.


HM animal print top.  I'm not a big animal print fan, but it seems like this is one of the major pieces for HM's Fall collection, so what the heck? :-)

Somethings from F21

Went to F21 today while waiting for my car having a service done and walked out with the following pieces.

1. snoopy sweat shirt.  I'm a big fan of snoopy, but haven't bought any snoopy Ts for years since I feel I'm getting too old for it.  :-(  However, I couldn't resist this one, so cute!


2. pinstripe T.  I can have enough pinstripe Ts in summer time.  :-)


3. embellished pinstripe T, love this one a lot!


A pretty productive day!  :-P

Feng Mao Mutton Kebab in Korean Town

Heard about this Feng Mao Mutton Kebab place in Korean town a while ago, and the reviews on yelp.com are quite good, so decided to give it a try yesterday.  This is a place that you bbq meats on skewers yourself at the table.

We went there around 6PM, the place was small and quite empty then.  Because of the place is operated by Korean Chinese, we were served with those typical Korean side dishes right away when we sat down.  We first ordered 1 order of lamb kebabs (10 skewers), cartilages (1 skewer), chicken gizzards (5 skewers), Chinese style cold cucumber salad and a big bottle of Korean beer to start with.

The waitresses there were very friendly, they told us since this was our first time there, they would bbq the skewers for us.  The meats came out very favorful and tender.  I loved the cartilages, so I immediately ordered 2 more orders of them then I also ordered beef belly and some kind of beef thing.  I also like the beef belly, quite chewy. But I hated the other beef thing, it was tough like a cardboard.

After we finished what we ordered, we still felt hungry so I told the waitress we wanted to order another order of lamb kebabs.  When she brought the skewers over, she looked at me and said you guys ate a lot but you looked so skinny.  Hahahaha, should I take that as a compliment?  :-P

Overall, I like the place, something different.  Too bad the drive is a little bit too far.  Here are the 2 pictures I took:



After the dinner, we stopped by the Grove to take a walk and some pictures.  There were tons of people at the Grove, the 8 story parking structure was almost completely full.  It took us about 10 mins to find a parking spot at the 8th floor, which never happened before not even during Christmas seasons!  Crazy.

It was a very pleasant night last night, light breeze and very comfortable weather.  Good day to be out and take a stroll.  We also went to BN to have a piece of White Chocolate Raspberry Cheese cake and Starbuck latte to finish the night off.
