Late Foodie Friday

Chego

Chinatown, Los Angeles

Went to Chego for the first time recently and it was pretty darn yummy! They have different types of rice bowls that come with various veggies and meats. It's a Korean fusion joint so meats include pork belly, which is what I got. The pork was super delicious and I love that they include all types of veggies, such as green beans, basil, radishes, etc. 

It's a must-try!! Especially their ooey gooey fries!!

EMC Seafood

Koreatown, Los Angeles

The boyfriend were in a seafood fix the other week and went to EMC Seafood. We missed their happy hour but decided to just stay and eat anyways. They have all types of dishes that include an uni pasta, lobster roll, raw dishes, meats, and so on. It was really good and definitely satisfied our craving!

Late Foodie Friday

Animal

I finally went to try Animal on Fairfax in West Hollywood the other week after months of planning for it. Animal is a trendy restaurant that creates unique and creative dishes using different types of meat. Parts of meat that people don't often eat, such as ox tail, pig ear, marrow, and so on. 

We got so many different dishes because they are rather small portions. It is almost like tapas style so that you could try several things in one meal. It was the most amazing experience I've ever had. The customer service was great and the food was all levels of delicious! If you don't like a lot of citrus, I don't recommend it as their plates tend to have tartness and citrus elements to it. I felt like it was necessary because the meat needed something to freshen it up and make it less heavy. But I know that one of my friends doesn't like citrus and she didn't enjoy this place very much. Other than that, I highly highly recommend this gem in the middle of LA!

Things I want to do soon

I was thinking about things that I could do in Los Angeles on a low budget and after searching around on the internet, I found a few things to put on my to-do list. Just because I'm trying to save money, doesn't mean I can't have fun! I've lived in LA my whole life and I still haven't been to these places, so why not try to do so soon?!

Maybe if you're in LA and you don't have money to spend, you could find some of these things interesting too!

1. Los Angeles Arboretum

 

The Los Angeles County arboretum consists of gardens and trails, similar to that of Huntington Gardens. I haven't gone to the arboretum yet, but really want to go sometime soon. It's a great place to take pictures and just enjoy a nice walk. The admission is $8 for adults and I heard there's a lot to see there. 

2. Los Angeles County Museum of Arts at night!

 

I've been to LACMA before, but only for a class assignment. The one thing I really want to do is go at night so that I could see these lamp posts. There is also a Tim Burton Exhibit coming up in May, so I'll definitely want to go then. I believe that admission is $10. I'm not quite sure right now, but it's on the website. I went as a student so I had a pass to get free admission. 

3. Eaton Canyon Hiking

 

Eaton Canyon is a nature preservation north of Pasadena. There are hiking trails there and waterfalls! I've been wanting to go and the best part is, IT'S FREE! You can park there and then begin your hike. My friends have gone there a few times and it looks like a lot of fun. You have to trek over small creeks to get to the waterfall and it's a nice summer activity. I also heard it's a good beginners hike. 

4. Aquarium of the Pacific

 

I have been dying to go to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California. It is a bit pricey but on goldstar.com, you can get tickets for cheaper. The price is normally $25, I believe. Anyways, I want to go and pet the rays and stuff! If you are willing to spend the money, I think you pay around $90 per person to actually interact with creatures like sea otters or seals. That's only on the weekend and with reservations though.
