*Super Fantastic Food Fest 2008
*I'm a fan of these tv shows that are dedicated to
travel and food. I've been thinking, when i'm wide awake at 5am because of jet lag, that i can
lead a mini tour that exhibits all the special eats of the San Gabriel Valley area. After all, i did grow up in "little China/Taipei" and have a pretty good knowledge of the local restaurants.
Tours are starting for Super Fantastic Food Fest 2008 starting Saturday Feb 23rd.
> Itinerary:
Round 1
We start out in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley
on Garfield and Valley. We will visit the first "The Hat" restaurant famous
for its Pastrami sandwich and steak fries. To save room in our stomach, we'll only observe as
people shove their face with fatty goodness. From there we will walk to eat
skillet fried pork buns and steamed dragon dumplings. This restaurant exhibits the Northern Chinese cuisine which relies heavily on flour/dough. These buns/dumplings are filled with ground pork and they ooze pork juice when you bite into them. To finish off with
something sweet we'll do a short walk to drink boba milk tea and/or yogurt.
Before Round 2 of more eating we'll drive to a local bowling alley and bowl
away some calories before continuing super food fest 2008.
After going to Japan and Taiwan, i've been hooked on yakitori. Little bites
of grilled meat goodness. Luckily I've found a local
pub place that serves up these grilled pieces of yummy. Grilled chicken
wings, beef teriyaki skewers, bacon wrapped asparagus and best of all,
chicken hearts. Don't fill up too much because we're ending the night with late
night noodles at Noodle Planet. Almost like planet hollywood but minus the
hollywood and add a lot of asian people and noodles. They serve up any type
of noodle you want. Viet, Thai, Chinese. They've got it all and they're
open late.
