Dr. P’s friend Timmy has been talking about trying out some cooked insects from Typhoon Restaurant. I proposed the idea of an insects dinner party to Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24 and got picked!!!! Thank you, Foodbuzz, for giving the seven of us the opportunity to chow down some insects (and amphibian too) last night.
Typhoon Restaurant is located inside Santa Monica Airport on the 2nd floor. Our reservation was at 5:30pm. The restaurant was already full. People just kept on coming in the entire night. We were surprised how popular this restaurant is. Does everybody like insects that much?

But it was the first time that we didn’t think the . . . → Read More: What Happened to QQ Cafe?

Kingswood Teppan Steak House
上林鐵板燒
250 W Valley Blvd #L
San Gabriel, CA 91776
(626) 282-9600
I tried to take my parents out to eat at least once a week. When they go out to eat, they always go to the same restaurants and ordering the same dishes. I like to take them out to try different things. They haven’t had teppanyaki for a long time. When I suggested to have teppanyaki for lunch, mom was really excited. Dad didn’t like the idea first because he thought it would be too expensive. He was nice and didn’t want me to spend too much money. But I assured them lunch special at Kingswood isn’t expensive at all.
You can pick two items for $9.50 or 3 items for $12.50. That’s a pretty good deal for teppanyaki.

MC Hotdog is probably the biggest rapper in Taiwan right now. I met him and A-Yue‘s bandFree 9 back in 2004. They have been back to LA a few times to perform. This time they were in LA for a concert, along with TriPoets (參劈), a rap group from Taiwan. I asked Dr. P to go to the concert with me….
Dr. P: Hmmm…. I don’t know. I won’t understand the lyrics. I don’t know their music, either.
Me: Why don’t you look up MC Hotdog’s music video on YouTube and see if you like the music?
Dr. P: (Found this video on YouTube) Oh yeah…. that’s what I’m talking about, yo! Hoochie Taiwanese girls in bikinis shaking booties.
Me: Yeah, there are gonna be lots of girls like that at the concert.
Dr. P: Yes, we’re going FOR SURE!
So here we were, at Club Tatou on Saturday night. We hung out in their drinking dressing room before the show. MC Hotdog 熱狗 had major jetlag for the past 2 days. But he was ready for stage on Saturday night!

The House of Korea
18751 E Colima Rd
Rowland Heights, CA 91748
(626) 965-2007
Thanks to my readers, I have this super long to-try list of restaurants from everyone’s recommendation. A reader told me about the $9.99 all you can eat Korean BBQ restaurant in Rowland Heights. What? $9.99? I took my parents there for a weekday lunch.
There were actually 2 prices for lunch. For $9.99 you get 6 choices of meat. For $12.99, you get 12 choices, plus soup, plus steam egg, plus rice. Since dad was feeling like having some beef tongue, we opted for the $12.99 set B.
