Trying the Most Extravagant (Miyazaki Japanese A5 Wagyu) Hot Pot Experience in SoCal! | Wagyu House

Just when I thought there was only “one” Egyptian restaurant worth trying in southern CA, I happened to discover ANOTHER one in Anaheim that you should consider. El Mahroosa Restaurant & Cafe is not only serving up some amazing Egyptian food in SoCal, but also offers a taste of delicious Mediterranean food! What makes this place unique is that during Ramadan (which is when this video was filmed) they offer a buffet that just can’t be missed! Not only is the food tasty, but the entire restaurant transforms into a festive party placing big smiles on customers’ faces with its food, music, and vibe! Definitely check this video out to see what I mean. It is a FUN one!

Unforgettable Egyptian Buffet (Iftar) experience during Ramadan!

Orange County, CA

This is the second time I’ve tried Egyptian food and the first time that it is not-vegan! What lies in Anaheim CA is one if not THE most amazing Egyptian Restaurant you can find around. This place may seem unassuming until you try the Food!! I was lucky enough to be able to try some truly authentic food that is native to the country of Egypt, and if you’ve never tried it, I highly recommend trying it. In my opinion, mouth-watering!!! Check out this video if you want to see some Egyptian food that you just can’t find anywhere outside a 500 mile radius!

Trying the most Amazing and SHOCKING Egyptian Food in Orange County!! 

I love it when restaurants incorporate flavors and the local culture into the food that they serve. This is exactly what LA Brisket did. Tucked away in Chinatown DTLA with a second in Artesia, LA Brisket is serving some of the most delicious fusion American BBQ that I’ve had. If you’re a fan of brisket, then you definitely want to get the O.G. Brisket Bowl, or if you’re a fan of pork ribs, then try the Broadway! There’s just an item on the menu that’ll satisfy just about anyone. Best part yet? You can definitely taste LA in their food. This place is not to be missed!

Trying an epic BBQ platter at one of the BEST BBQ RESTAURANTS in LA that you just can’t miss!

This video is going to be an extension of our Caribbean Food series. Ever since I tried Trinidadian food for the first time, I wanted to expand my pallet and explore the cuisine further. Unfortunately, we only have one Trini restaurant in LA as of this video so it was worthwhile for me to try out some other food on the menu. Luckily, on Sundays, TriniStyle Cuisine offers traditional Sunday brunch and I just had to find out for myself what that’s all about! I’m so glad I did b/c the food I had in this video is AMAZING!! Let me give you a hint, get that King Mackeral!!!

Trying traditional TRINIDADIAN SUNDAY BRUNCH for the first time! |Caribbean Food series (Part 7)

San Gabriel, CA

I had no clue that what lies in San Gabriel is one of the highest regarded Indian restaurant and market in all of LA. What is unique about this joint is that it is both a restaurant AND a market. When I walk into the market, I feel like I’m a kid at a candy store because there are so many authentic Indian spices, snacks, and other hard to find ingredients that I’m just going crazy for! Let’s not forget, we’re here for the food, but the market is an amazing place to check out. Next to the market is their restaurant offering some authentic Indian food but also some fusion dishes that brings together LA and India. Oh, and for you spicy fans out there! I got to try the hottest pepper in the world, and that is available to you as well!

Ever since I tried Aussie food for the first time in 2021, I’ve been on the hunt for more Australian food in LA! After searching hard for some time, I finally found another place that serves delicious Aussie Pies & Sausage Rolls. What’s unique about this place is that it is part of a virtual food court, but nevertheless they’re churning out amazing pies and rolls that we’ve all come to love. Additionally, this place is women owned! A big support to the women behind Bronzed Aussie! Check out this video for some more delicious Australian pies and sausage rolls!

Trying MORE AUSTRALIAN FOOD (Aussie Pies and Sausage Rolls) with an Aussie (Sydney) native!

Today is another first on the channel. Believe it or not, it’s actually quite hard to find Trinidadian & Tobagonian food here in LA, but after doing some research I was finally able to uncover a gem. I’ve been dying to try Trini food because I’ve heard it’s one of the countries in the Caribbean’s that has very unique food to the country, and not shared by other Caribbean countries. After trying some of the most well know items such as Doubles and Roti, I have to say, WOW!! Trini food is AMAZING!! I have a feeling I need to do a part 2 on this, what do you guys think?

Asian Foodie trying TRINIDADIAN FOOD for the first time! | Caribbean food series (Part 6)

I have never experienced fine dining when it comes to Caribbean cuisine but it actually exists in LA!! This place is a hidden gem and righteously so because it’s been opened for less than a year since the date of this video! Sean Romeo is a talented chef and artist and I can tell that he is on his way to doing big things. The moment you walk through the doors of Cecilia’s, you are quickly welcomed by warmth and coziness. The décor is awesome, the food is on point and I certainly appreciate everything that Sean is doing. Check out this video for some fine Caribbean cuisine!!
