Koh Ruessei Restaurant@Long Beach ★★★

Authentic Flavorful Khmer (Cambodian) Cuisine. Better and more decent than the one I used to go. Having been to Cambodia 5 times, I always crave for their food. My favorite is Prahok - raw vegetables served in warm dipping sauce. This restaurant did very well. the Phnom Penh Noodle Soup had a garlicky flavor, just like the one I had at the street food in Phnom Penh. The restaurant highly recommended the Hot & Sour Beef Soup. I am used to the flavor, but it's not for everyone. A little of the soup goes a long way. Better to have a small bowl of rice and only 1-2 tablespoons of the soup. They automatically give you a big bowl of rice and will charge $3 for it. Will come back again.

Prahok Fish $14.95

Phnom Penh Noodle Soup $9.95

Hot & Sour Beef Soup $15.95

Corridor 109 Pop-Up@Koreatown ★★★

Fantastic Modern Asian Tasting Menu Pop-up Experience. Reminds me of 3-Michellin-Star The Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare in New York, where Chef Brian Baik worked at. Very hard to book - need to book at ticket release on Tock. We were able to book because a waitlist just opened up. Amazing fresh seafood with a modern twist. We bought our own bottle of Riesling, and the restaurant complimented on our wine choice. It went very well with all the flavorful dishes. $195 per person (2022 pricing). Corkage fee is $30. Totally worth it. Old pop-up location was in Koreatown. New location in Chinatown.

Wedding Menu Tasting@Disneyland Resort ★★★

Disneyland Wedding Menu Tasting with Wine Pairing. Disney's Fairytale Showcase is back after the pandemic. Decent food. The Ice Glass Slipper with Champagne Sorbet had the finest presentation ever. It is individually hand-cut with a saw. Soup was served French style, meaning they pour the soup in front of you. The salad was very refreshing. The Mac Murray Ranch Pinot Noir was light and nice. Fess Parker Riesling has always been great and more affordable. The Disney Fairy Tale Team was amazing and wonderful to work with.
