Cheng Can Cook: Negitoro Don

You Get What You Pay for. OK I was being cheap. I bought the $4.00 tuna pieces from Woori Market and thought it will taste the same as the $8.00, but I was wrong. It didn't taste good. Next time when you make Negitoro Don, be sure to buy the good grade tuna. Lesson learned.

Beachcomber@Malibu Pier ★★★

A Saturday afternoon well spent at the beach. Got a deal from Living Social - $25 for $50 worth of food at Beachcomber. Sea Otter Pop Martini is very special but not easy to drink. I had to take it sip by sip. Remember to mix the guacamole in the bottom of the Lobster and Mango Martini appetizer. Good-looking servers there. Restaurant parking lot is $6. I have found street parking around when I went.

Lobster and Mango Martini $14

Sea Otter Pop $10

Wild Truffle Mushroom Mac $17

Cedar Roasted Salmon $24
