Beginnings of Summer Adventures

        Happy First Day of Summer everyone! It's been pretty hot these past few days so hopefully everyone is staying cool. Summer started on a good note for me. My big sister decided to take a week off from work to go on little food adventures together.

        On the 30th of May, as a family we went to Veggie Grill and made a dessert stop after. I got a combo that included a Seasonal Soup Bowl and 1/2 Savory Kale Caesar. Very healthy and simple. For a little fattening on the side, at Bengees we got one scoop of banana nut ice cream in a glazed cronut, topped with walnuts and got one scoop of toasted almonds ice cream (not featured below) in a glazed cronut, topped with almonds.

        The next day my mom, sister, and I went to Shake Shack and Greystone Mansion. The burgers were really good. The bun was so so soft! As for the mansion, it was literally a maze. It was fun though, walking around. We even saw some people filming. Afterwards, we headed to Milk since we are in the Hollywood area. We had a watermelon ice cream macaroon and doubled scoop ice cream with the flavors coconut and blueberry crumble pie. We ordered the chocolate moon pie and red velvet cupcake for Dad.

        On the first day of June, we girls went to Koreatown  and ate at Beverly Soon Tofu Restaurant. We ordered a combo, Soon Tofu and Bibimbap. I love the Soon Tofu that had mushroom and beef in it. So good! Something about soups and mushrooms always agree with my appetite. And off we went to a donut shop! Fantastic Donuts! My sister and I heard about it and always wanted to try it. They have these super duper cute faces on the donuts. Too cute to eat! Ahh!

        For the second day of June, we went to a little dessert place closer to home in Alhambra, Creme Bee. I personally thought it was a little too sweet because we ordered two to share. Too much honey for one day.

        Finally Friday! Dad was off so my dad, mom, and I went to eat at ramen place, Ramen Yukino Ya. I got Tonkotsu. It was pretty good! I love ramen and basically all noodles. It was a nice day just to hang out with my parents. I will miss this when I go to college!!! Wahh!

        On the weekends, I got a sisterly date with my big sister at the movie theatres. We watched Captain America: Civil War. The following week, I went out with some high school friends, Ye and Kai. We met up at Tea Brick. I had no idea they changed the containers of their drinks until that day. It's cute and convenient to take on the go. We headed to the theatres after and watched X-Men: Apocalypse. I learned to never ever drink tea before a movie... A wonderful day well spend with my two lovely English buddies before we head to college. That weekend, my family had a little dessert  trip to Sweet Lab! We got a strawberry ice cream with egg waffles. Super good! Unfortunately the ice cream was a little sour, but it worked well with the egg waffles at the end.    

         In the spirit of my college, I've been in the Titan spirit lately. I decided to make some elephant origami figures. Take a long time but totally worth it! I can't wait to be a Titan! Last week I had my freshman orientation. It was pretty fun. Some complications with class scheduling, but other that, it was really fun. I loved the view on the terrace at the Mihaylo College building.  We had a business social there. The view was breathtaking. 

         The day after I hanged out with my lovely friend Susan. I met her back in high school (that makes me feel old haha). She's going to be a sophomore in college this coming year. I haven't seen her since last summer. She's like another big sister to me. We can talk for hours and it feels like barely any time has past. It was definitely a good day. She treated me out at Hooshik, with a Green Tea Falling Snow and Yuzu Tea, to celebrate my graduation from high school. So sweet of her. This past weekend, I had a family gathering at my grandma's house. Very nice to see everyone again before I go off to college. Good food and good company as usual. Loved my Auntie Sharon and Uncle Tommy's cake as always. The little cakes topped with chocolate frosting and little crystals for lettering are amazing. It was actually my breakfast today too. (: They were very thoughtful and gave me and my cousin gifts for college. I will definitely use them in my years at CSUF!    

        I can definitely say my summer has been so far so good. Hopefully everyone else is as well!
