Tam O'Shanter@Los Angeles ★★★

Chubby Curry@Beverly Hills ★★★

Best Japanese Curry with Fun Anime Theme. New restaurant, same owner as Niku X. Chef Liga's recommendation of the Smoked Roasted Duck Curry was mind-blowing with a taste of happiness. It's like Chinese Duck but 10 times better. Very crispy skin. Love the kick of spiciness in the mustard. Chef Liga is amazing and friendly. Great selection of Fifth Taste sake available. Quick service with casual & chill vibe. Board games available for playing. Order via iPad. 10% cashback Loyalty points available (cannot be used w/ Groupon). Yelp waitlist available. Paid lot parking across the street (2 hours free before 6pm) or paid metered street parking.

Half & Half Good Old Time Cafe@San Gabriel ★★★

Cozy Authentic Taiwanese Cafe. Fast food restaurant with good pricing. Affordable Boba. I actually prefer Half & Half over the 2-Michelin-star-restaurant Kato in terms of price-worth and service. It's 1/10 of Kato's price with better service. Been in love with their Noodle Soup with Thick Clear Noodles since my college time. You can choose different noodles and toppings. Have communal condiments in the back. Chicken Nuggets (Popcorn Chicken) were delicious but very oily. Boba Milk Tea is usually on the sweet side, so I recommend requesting 50% sweetness instead. Mark on their menu to order. They did raised their prices since last year. Same plaza and Katsu Sando. Free limited parking in lot or street parking.

Good Old Time Noodle Soup w/ Thick Clear Noodles $12.88
mixed combination topping with garlic chips, spicy paste, bean sprouts, mushroom slices, and cilantro
