Chick-fil-A, LA

I have been busy lately because my summer assignments will be due soon. However, the desire to get good food never fades away lol. Today, I took a short break and went to Chick-fil-A, a franchise that specializes in chicken entrĂ©es. I can guarantee that you will get good experience during your time at this place: great food and outstanding services.

Spicy Chicken Sandwich Deluxe Meal

The price point is around $6-10 for a meal. I got Spicy Chicken Sandwich meal. There are fries with a dipping source of your choice and drink. You will never get the quality of food and services at this price point anywhere, beside here. Highly recommended.

Pink's Hot Dogs, LA

My friend invited me to go getting a good hot dog. Pink's Hot Dogs may be known as the best hot dog place in LA. I have gone there many times yet never been disappointed. Pink's Hot Dogs offers hot dogs, burgers, fries, onion rings, etc. If you wonder what you should get, I can say that you should get all food here because all I have tried so far are so gooooood. The price point is so affordable, like $8 to $15 at most. However, I usually have to wait about 30 mins to an hour or so to get my food because the line is so long. Once you get inside, you will see many many many photos of Hollywood stars who have visited this place. Here are some photos I got from the place today.


Chicago Polish Dog
Even though I have to wait for awhile getting my order, I always enjoy really good food served by Pink's Hot Dogs.

San Ya, Korean BBQ @ Koreatown, LA

I haven't had Korean BBQ for awhile, so I decided to go for San Ya, which is a low-price kbbq place available. I have to admit that this is not the first time I come here. It is a decent place, but not that kind of places you have to visit once in your life. One thing surprised me today is that the service is hugely improved; they can give a nice service to me even though it is Saturday night.


San Ya gives a decent quality of meats with a lot of variations, such as beef, pork, and chicken with $9.99. If you want to get more variations, you can choose $11.99 or $18.99 for your dinner. Food aside, this place actually has a bad reputation about services. However, waiters today kept my table full with meats, dipping sources, and water all time. They even came and checked often if I would need anything. I'm impressed with the improved services they gave me today.

This place is really recommended if you want to pay low price with decent quality for Korean BBQ.

Shabu Shabu Yo @ Little Tokyo, LA

Finally, Friday has come as well as my time to get some good food. I want to get shabu shabu badly, so I've decided to go to Little Tokyo for it. Unfortunately, my favourite place Shabu Shabu House closed for a week. So, I end up at Shabu Shabu Yo, which is a shabu-shabu place owned by Korean. The price for big shabu-shabu beef set is little more affordable. It can be an okay substitute for Shabu Shabu House, which is still more preferable though.


Beef quality here is good and delicious but not equal to one at Shabu Shabu House because it can't give the same "favorable sensation" when chewing in my mouth. Besides that, it is juicy and high grade for sure.
Peanut source here is decent yet has some room to improve, and price is about $15 for 15 pieces of beef combo with unlimited refilled rice.

Overall, I'm packed and happy with the shabu shabu here.

Happy 4th July @ Exposition Park, LA

To all readers, July 4th is Independence Day of the United States of America. There are many forms of celebrations happening during the day. Yet, most of all have fireworks at the end.
I went to Exposition Park, LA (http://www.expositionpark.org/) where it is free for admission, but you still have to pay for parking, which is about $10. It is safe. The fireworks are magnificent and have been launched for about an hour. These are some fireworks I would like to share:

Happy 4th July and have a great one.

Juicy Burger, LA

Today I wanted to get good food. I heard many praises about Juicy Burger. I decided to go there. Once I tried it, I understood why people love it so much. What's so special about this place is that you can customize your own burger: choosing a burger, a bun, toppings, etc.


The fries comes with one or several dipping sources; it depends on what size you order your fries. I tried Garlic Mayo and Chipotle Ketchup today. I prefer the ketchup to the mayo because of spiciness.
The price point is around 8 to 20 dollars, which ain't much.

You will definitely enjoy eating there. Highly recommended!

Getty Center, LA

I love Getty Center. It is one of the places I recommend you all, my readers, to visit once. Its address can be found here: http://www.getty.edu/visit/
The admission is free, but you have to pay for parking, which is typically $15 per car for a whole day (so cheap!). Once you get out of your car, all services, excluding food & drink are free. These are things you can experience from Getty Center:

Tram Service
A tram will lead you to the museum from the parking lot
Narration
Once you get off the tram, there will be a person waiting for you and people in the arrived tram to tell the story about Getty Center. It's pretty interesting and informative. I will not spoil here, so you have to go there and get it yourself :)



Outdoor Art
You will find many pieces of art outside the buildings. They sometimes are placed in unexpected places.


Architecture
There are a lot of well-designed buildings for you to enjoy by just looking at them.


Garden
I know that there are many garden sections, but some were under construction on the day I visited. Still, there are many plants I can enjoy my day.

Other Arts
Inside many buildings, you can find art galleries shown in different categories. However, please make sure that you are allowed to photograph as some sections aren't allowed to do so.

A book in Middle Ages
I have enjoyed my time at Getty Center a lot. There are many things that you need to spend your time slowly observing pieces of art in this place to be fully appreciated. I recommend you all to at least once visit Getty Center taking time slowly to enjoy your moment.
