KOGI!!!!!!!

Out of boredom and guilt at 5:30 I went for a quick 2.5 mile run. I came back sweaty and stinky. I was about to hit the shower and just calling it a night but what the heck? I think I've ran enough to calculate a yummy taco into my calorie consumption. I had my mind set on it since I found out Kogi was coming to Rosemead and it was only 2 blocks away. So I arrive around 6:20 and see this....








....3 hours later I get to finally taste it. was it worth the wait? yes and no. Yes because I was bored enough and had nothing else planned for the rest of the night. No because....are you kidding me???? 3 F-ing hours in the cold cold night for a few tiny tacos???? I have to admit that they are pretty darn tasty and I am already craving more. I'll have to strategize a plan to get these more efficiently or wait til the hype is over. As for the different flavors, I did try them all and there's no point really. You could probably fool someone into thinking that the tofu was chicken because the bbq flavor overpowers. I really enjoyed the flavors, but perhaps I ate these in such a hurry that I didn't have time to really savor the differences. I was soooo famished 3 hrs after my run.

Happy Lunar New Year!!

this blog must live on!! I eat ALOT but I'm too lazy to blog..

here are some homemade goodies. It's an annual tradition for my family every new years. I'll admit, I don't really eat them as much as I used to as a kid(I'm not a fan of shredded coconut) but I still love to make them. I've perfected my edge folding over the years. The fried mochi balls are REALLY good fresh! I love the warm chewy goodness! The filling is a mixture of shredded coconut, peanuts and sugar. Very simple but time consuming because we make huge batches of them. I want to continue the tradition year after year and generation after generation. Perhaps I'll alter the recipe later down the line.
