I love food. Like, head over heels, mad love. So when I was invited to have dinner with friends at a place I haven’t tried, Chinese Tuxedo, I leaped at the opportunity. I'm so glad I did!

Oh. My. Everything!


They’re only about a year old but I think I just found my new favorite restaurant! Tucked away in ChinaTown, this place is breathtaking! The candles, the pink neon signs and the entire romantic ambiance was just a cherry on top of the astonishing meal I had.





Then of course, there was dessert, because there’s always room; sorbet, a creme brûlée egg custard tart and a soufflé.




Every. Single. Thing. Was. Amazing! No exaggeration. I could barely believe it.

One more cool thing about this place is the menu changes every few months. I’m so looking forward to making this place a regular and trying out new dishes, as I hear wonderful things about the scallops and prawns.


I was stuffed and satisfied beyond measure and I can hardly wait to return. Just a heads up, reservations are required.

Outfit: Style Delivers Shoes: Nine West

I took a quick trip to Los Angeles, California to visit a friend and OMG, I had a blast. It was my first time to Cali (I know, right) and it was way more beautiful than I could have anticipated.

The Griddle Café

Since it was my first time and it was a short stay, I just focused on leisure. I ate, I shopped, I went to Melrose Place, and it was Halloween weekend so of course, I partied.

Alfred Tea Room

I had such an amazing time in LA and I can't wait for my next trip out here. Next time, I'll be sure to visit the museums, see more of Hollywood and do other fun, touristy things.




Til next trip,
