Joël Robuchon@Las Vegas ★★★

Fantastic 3-Michelin Star French Restaurant in Vegas. Speechless. Best meal ever. Superb quality and attentive service. The plates were also hand-painted instantly with elegant graphics design. Love the minute details at the restaurant. Meal A is $198. It's totally worth it.

Maruhide Uni Club@Torrance ★★★ (closed)

Uni Heaven. Must-go for Uni lovers. Uni dishes with Uni directly imported from supplier. My favorite is sashimi rice bowl #3 with Uni, Salmon Roe, and Scallop. Everything is so fresh. The Uni Cream Pasta was great. (well, Blue Marlin had the best Uni Pasta, but they were closed down) Service was really slow, so they gave us complimentary Watercress appetizer. Don't forget to purchase a box of Uni home here after your meal.

Robata Jinya@West Hollywood ★★★

Less Expensive Robata w/ Great Quality. Portions are good. Really nice Ramen with thin noodles. Love the Lotus Root Robata. Eggplant Robata had a flavorful taste of soup in it. I like to dip the Robata with the Cilantro Sauce the most. Nice service. Free parking at meters after 8pm.

Susie Cakes Bakery@Manhattan Beach ★★★

Fantastic Cupcakes. Frostings are creamier and much softer than Sprinkle's. I really enjoyed the Blueberry Pancake Cupcake, but it's seasonal. They drill a hole in the middle of the cupcake to put more frostings in it. Great service too.

July 4th Special - Blueberry Pancake Breakfast Cupcake $3.00 (seasonal)
vanilla cupcake w/ fresh blueberries topped w/ real maple syrup buttercream

Coconut Cupcake $3.00
