Eat, Shop and Relax

What a great weekend we had with Auntie Adela! It's always nice to have visitor once in a while. We had brunch at a small local Taiwanese Restaurant after we picked her. They served Shanghainese dim sum and dishes. I always got mixed up with Taiwanese and Shanghainese food because they are very similar. We had sweet soy milk, crispy Chinese donuts and a few delicious cold dishes. It was simple and good!
We went to Roger's Gardens because I need to pick up some soil and it's a nice place to go anyways. It is one of those places that you wonder if their stuff is actually better or the price tag make you feel they are better. I believe that their quality is better and they do have more variety.
She took us to a Foot Spa in Monterey Park. I've tried it before in Thailand. But it was the first time to try a Chinese one. The huge detail diagram on the wall seemed pretty intense. It was not bad. It was softer and more tickley than the Thai ones.We wrapped up her visit with a dinner at the shabu house in Little Tokyo. Before dinner, I've found this cute little iron on book at Kinokuniya. Iron Me On by Mike Perry.
