Read full storyEating at the oldest restaurant in LA
The Saugus Cafe was opened in 1886, and being situated besides a railways station, this was a popular food joint for all the rail passengers back then. From the outside, it looks dull and historic era dated, but in the inside, it looks clean and well kept. The waiter staff was very helpful and helped us decide on something. We ordered the NY steak, it was good, well cooked and as how we wanted. I heard their breakfast is good as well. I will come back to have a taste at how their egg benedicts are.

My thai cravings are satisfied only at the Grandma's thai kitchen. The very name itself brings homely food vibes. Most of the time, it is the thai yellow curry or thai red curry along with Satay that we order. This time we took the Pad Thai for lunch and the shrimp wonton for appetizer. They are superb. The quality, pricing and the staff over there are well above the mark.
Read full storyTry Kazuki Sushi for some authentic Japanese flavour.
An amazing sushi restaurant that you can find in this area. Since the parking can be an issue, and I always opt for a delivery. The Roscoe roll and crunchy roll was my favorites and worth a try. Other than sushi, I went for the Pork Katsu, that was good too. All the food is perfectly cooked, fresh. But the only issue is the hotel doesn't look as good as the food tastes. When I went for a dine in, found the condition to be pretty ok ok. So I would suggest you to opt for a delivery from this place.

I have tried Cupcake LA a couple of times. I even gave this contact to a friend who placed an order for cupcakes for a delivery order. Cupcakes taste beautiful, and their specialty is floral cupcakes. The last time I purchased it, they were purple floral cupcakes, which looked like flowers, neatly wrapped up. The flavors were chocolate and vanilla.

I was craving for some really good kebabs and hummus and Sotta had managed to satiate my cravings and even gave me more. I ordered a value meal where we got huge portion sizes of meat, hummus, pasta salad, rice, and pita bread. The restaurant is pretty and has a cute cafe vibe to it. My sister who is a vegetarian decided to go for the lentil soup and the falafel wrap. The food was served quickly and was very presentable on the plate. We had a good time at Sotta and decided to come back again when a similar craving strikes.

A recent addition to the Indian restaurants in Seattle. The Curry world opened up like a week ago and I decided to give it a try. My time at the Curry Kingdom was amazing. The experience was good, the staff was polite and prompt. The best thing about this place is their Shrimp biriyani. And the chicken tandoori, which was a blend of the best spices ever, was just perfect.
Read full storyShopping at West Hollywood Gateway
Shopping was so much fun at the West Hollywood Gateway. With covid restrictions easing out, it is a lot safer to go outdoors, but I still prefer malls that are not crowded, or go when absolutely necessary. When I came to West Hollywood Gateway, I was super happy to have found parking, thanks to their underground parking facility. Many restaurants are now open, and there are many choices too. The best store that I always end up going to while in this mall is the Target store. If you have lots of time to while around and want to stroll through a shopping spot, then this is the place to come.
Read full storyDesserts that you can eat guiltfree
Imagine having a dessert and eating it guilt-free. These are available at Keto Sweets LA. I ordered through their delivery service, some cheesecakes, brownies, and of course the cookies. The desserts were so good, and it tastes just like the regular ones. The composition was right, the texture was fluffy. I loved the fact that they have a nice coconut taste to it, perhaps it could be the coconut sugar or the coconut flour. I am so glad there is more to their menu, and I will definitely be coming back for more options. I saw their red-velvet cupcakes too. So much fun to order them and eat them without a trace of guilt. I am so glad to have spotted this place.

Madbun, as the name suggests has made me mad for these burgers. I don't enjoy burgers that often, but this place has just made me come back for more. I tried their mad platter, something that can be easily shared by 3 people. This is such a delight to eat. And if you are two really hungry people, then this one is perfect for you. Their BBQ loaded fries are also a good side dish. The food tastes fresh, the staff is very good, and the location is spot on. I also tried their Thai Sweet Chilli variety, it was the perfect balance of Thai flavours. This place is more than your ordinary burger joint, try this once, and I guarantee that you will keep coming back soon.

Amara chocolate has a warm friendly vibe. This café style place is a family-owned restaurant, with a great menu. They are known for their amazing choices of coffee and hot chocolate. I had the Cortado, the pure Venezuelan Coffee. This was so good, will give Starbucks coffee a good competition. I just ordered the desserts and coffee here, but I saw that they serve amazing lunch options as well. Talking about the churros, they were the best. I rarely like churros because of their deep-fried texture, but this was one really good. Try the tiramisu flavor, which is my all-time favorite.

My friend was moving cities and he sent his pet hamster to my home. Initially, I was a little worried if I could take care of another pet. But Cheeku the hamster is such an adorable and low maintenance pet. He cleans himself after meals and does his business in one particular spot only. And I am so glad I adopted Cheeku. Hamsters are nocturnal animals and are only active at night. So they are perfect pets for office-going youngsters.
Read full storyUnique chocolate flavors and free nationwide shipping as well.
I found this place while I was looking for food tour options in the city. I found the chocolate tour and I signed up for it. This was during the per corona times. I and my friends gathered together for this tour. The tour was for about 45 minutes with good information, good samples and lots of product tastes. We got to taste some chocolate nibs, some Tanzania Chocolate, and also got to see the manufacturing process. So yesterday while I was looking for this place again, I saw that they only offer a curbside pick-up option. So I picked up their specialty Amaranth Crunch, the Tanzanian chocolate, and the 70% Dark chocolate. When they open up for the chocolate tour, I highly recommend going.
Read full storyLA sweet bouquet to my rescue.
I wanted to give something unique for my sister-in-law’s birthday and I knew she like sweets and flowers. Rather than give a combination of both, I wanted to do something like a bouquet with the chocolate arrangement. I had seen many such displays on the internet. And I found the LA Sweet bouquet. Gave them a call right away, because during the pandemic they are open only on an online order basis. So I booked a combination of flowers and chocolates, and it was beautiful. She used a combination of strawberries and flowers. She had so many options- using macarons, using chocolate-coated strawberries, and many others. Give this one a try, you will never regret it.
Read full storyI made my own healthy ice cream in 2 ingredients.
In reality, icecreams are more fattening and sugary than you can imagine. So I decided to make my own recipe. After browsing on the internet, I found this really cool 2 ingredient ice cream. It says frozen banana and peanut butter. Since I did not have peanut butter with me in the fridge, I used a fruit instead. I froze 2 whole bananas for a day. Used the frozen banana along with some mango slices inside a mixer. After blitzing at high speed, I got a creamy texture ice cream, which I then scraped into a glass container and kept in the fridge for 5 hours. Later, I used the ice cream along with some chocolate fudge. They tasted yum. And they are so healthy, that you can eat them all.
Read full storyMy dog Candie is so adorable
Candie is a 5-year-old lab. I got her when she was a tiny puppy, and ever since, her naughtiness has never stopped. Every evening I either take her for a walk or we go to the terrace and play there. One evening, when I was busy, I could see her pacing up and down each and every window trying to grab my attention. I was so engrossed in my work that I did not realize it. My mom saw her and told me about this. I immediately saw the time and realized it was time for her walk. I opened the door and there she was standing straight and tall. I let her in and she went right up the terrace. We had a good time together. She is my stress-buster and my ultimate favorite.
Read full storyI bought mothers day gifts from Greenwood shop
For Mother's day I gifted my mom a unique-looking potted plant and a few flower plants. I went to the Greenwood shop, a beautiful store full of plants, and all things green. I absolutely love this place and the vibe; the staff is friendly, they give their honest advice based on your budget, liking and your preference. I also like their collection of pots and ceramics. I asked for help in organizing a nice green gift basket for my mom, and they helped me to pick up a nice aloe vera plant and a few lilies and roses and added other gardening items. My mom loves gardening and she loved the gift as well. This place is a must visit if you have a green thumb, or are looking for gifting plants as gifts.
Read full storyStonefire Grill can elevate your mood
This is worth your wait whatsoever. We ordered from Stonefire Grill last week and we were told there is a standard 45 minutes waiting period. We agreed. But the food took longer than they said. So that was pretty sad, but the food was totally worth it. We had a salad with sriracha ranch dressing. Another thing that I really liked was their pizzas. Also, if you like combo meals, do try out their chicken combo which comes with a special Santa Fe salad. Next time, I will go for the curbside pickup option. That would be quick and will save you a lot of your time.
