Our holiday break in SoCal came to an end today and we returned home to Texas. It was such a fun trip filled with good food and fun. Cheers until next time!
Another family tradition is a leisurely walk around the Redondo Beach Pier. Lately, we have also been stopping at Quality Seafood for food. There is something really nice about sitting alongside other families while enjoying fresh seafood.
This time, the family at the table next to us was having an impressive feast of lobsters, uni, and crab. They even brought their own container of cooked rice and a dipping sauce, plus small hammers and a smooth rock to crack the crab shells. Total pros.
Our meal consisted of an assortment of oysters on the half-shell, fried shrimp, fish & chips, and beer. Delicious!
I went for an afternoon run around my childhood neighborhood today. I passed by my old elementary school and looped through the park I used to walk through every weekday. It was incredibly nostalgic, and I loved every minute of it.
Beautiful AND delicious!
We went for curry at CoCo Ichibanya a couple of days ago, but Koa wasn’t with us. Once he joined us and mentioned he wanted curry, the decision was easy. Back to CoCo we went. No complaints from me, Mariko, or Bay.
This time I ordered the pork cutlet with omelette. It was tasty, but I think I prefer it without the omelette. The egg itself was great, but this combo doesn’t come with much curry, and I missed having that perfect curry to rice ratio.
Of course, we also ordered our usual salad with egg to share before the curry arrived. We never skip it. That dressing is everyone’s favorite for a reason.
