Portland food trucks

Food trucks are a big trend in LA.  I have to give it up to Portland tho.  they have had food trucks for years!!  Not just sandwich and taco trucks, but a big mix of cuisines and choices.

the people in Portland and super nice too.  I'm not use to folks coming up to me and introducing themselves and all.  but I've encountered it lots in Portland.

So this food stall below is a pizza place that friend recommended.  If you notice the left half has a dome. That's a wood burning pizza oven.  YES! Wood Burining!  The pizza which has there own fresh made mozzarella is deliciously.  I want to eat some now.  It is so good, I still remember it.  Honestly Pizzeria Mozza wasn't as good.  Probably the atmosphere and the low price helped but the ingredients tasted really fresh from Pyro Pizza.

Belgium fry truck!

I wanted to eat some fries cuz I love'em but I noticed the truck load of pre-cut fries in the back.  How good can they be if they're sitting precut in the back of a truck.  Maybe a box or two but this many?  I'm a fry snob.

Portland Farmers Market

Went to Portland for work for a couple days. Luckily it is summer so it was nice.  Haven't been to Portland in summer since I was a kid so it was nice to see the sun and people about.  In winter it is horrible, if you are use to perfect weather year round similar to LA, Portland is weak.

So went to the farmers market downtown.  The peaches are amazing.  It cost me $1.40 for one but it was sooooo good.  

Beautiful colored eggs.

Even the dogs were drooling for the wonderful food at the market!  haha.

They had fresh breads, meats and a grip of beautiful fruits and vegetables.

In LA you get things year-round but when it is seasonal, it taste better.

You gotta wait for your prize some times.

LA/Portland

So I had the pleasure of being home for a couple days.  My mom was nice enough to oblige and make me Prime rib for my first meal back.  Yum! Miss American meat in nice large portions.  I gained some weight on this trip.

Some friends got together to eat Shabu Shabu after someone bought a meat slicer.  Apparently it was a good deal and they always wanted a meat slicer.  Go figure, the good part is we had lots and lots of meat.

Followed by scoops ice cream. If you live in LA and haven't had scoops, I highly recommend it or I will take you myself!!!! I can always go for scoops.  

Spoons new haircut. haha! Respect!

summer Beach DaDae Po

So I went to the beach this weekend to check out the summer happenings.

At the beach you can check-out tubes

Me apartment was in the clouds today.  It was good cuz it kept it cool and out of direct sunlight.

Kite surfing kites.  My friend would appreciate this.

What's cool and crazy about asia is the lack of regulations.

If you notice all the kite surfers, they were right next to the beach.  You can also run a jet ski off the shore as well.

It was funny watching people rnu on the beach with the kites, kinda getting dragged around slowly.

Most folks were under umbrellas avoiding the sun. hehe.

Packed in like sardines.
