Liang’s Village Cuisine
Mom loves to use food as an excuse for me to drive more often, so we went to a Taiwanese restaurant that recently opened in Arcadia called Liang’s Village Cuisine last night. It was hard to choose what to eat since a lot of the foods were close to home. The first dish we ordered was duck noodle soup, and it actually was pretty good. It wasn’t too flavorful and flavorless. The amount of duck pieces they gave was not bad either.
We also ordered these fried pork slices. Mom said that they used another part of the pork to make this in Taiwan, but she said if they used that part of the pork here in the states, it might be too fatty and oily. The flavor of this was pretty good. I think it’s because of the seasoning of the batter that they used to fry in.
The next dish we ordered was the fried tofu with soy sauce, and they also came with this hot sauce that I find it tasty. It almost tasted like some sort of salsa when you add it together with the cilantro on top.
Last but not least, we ordered pork chop with rice, which is a popular dish in Taiwan. That quickly became my lunch today since we couldn’t finish our food at the restaurant. It tasted alright. I felt like the pork piece they had could be better, but it wasn’t bad. Overall, I thought the restaurant was alright. If I were ever to go back there to eat again, I would probably get the duck noodle soup and the tofu again since they were pretty good. Other than that, the rest of the food seemed nothing too special to me.

Brother’s 26th Birthday Dinner
Today’s my brother’s 26th birthday, so my mom, my brother and I went to Chang’s Garden to eat since it had been years we’ve been there. I’ve been starving all day since there weren’t much food in the house, and I couldn’t wait for the food to come. Thankfully the service at the restaurant was fast, even when asked for iced water. The food came quickly, too, and my mom already got some of the food before I even took photos, so I didn’t say anything. It wasn’t until half way when my brother said that I haven’t even taken any photos, but I didn’t mind. I was hungry as heck. I ended taking a photo at our half eaten plates of food for fun. The seaweed fried fish in the back was so delicious.

As we went back home, I saw these roses and went to take a photo of them. Mom really liked it and thought it was unusual for her roses (or she was talking about the left one, at least) to grow like this. It’s too bad that by tomorrow, it’s going to wilt even more. Oh well. Such is nature.
LA Arboretum in May
On May 15th, Bridget came to visit Arcadia, and as a part of my Arcadia tour, I invited her and Kanie to the LA Arboretum to check out peacocks and flowers. We didn’t stay there for long, though, so I didn’t get to take as many photos as I would have liked. I’m also pretty bummed that we didn’t have a photo of us together. Gah! But the arboretum was still beautiful as always. These night blooming cereus are one of my favorites. I was surprised of how many colors they came in.
