Overall Feedback:
This place probably will be awarded a Michelin Star soon as it at par (or better) than some Michelin Starred restaurants that I have tried. The food is European fused with a hint of Asian / Japanese -style and is definitely a must-try for food enthusiast.


and the menu...



and the food......
Sourdough Bread with Chicken Butter and Duck Liver Parfait
I love this! Love the Butter, the Parfait, and the Bread!

Doughnut with Dressed Crab
Nothing spectacular (honestly)

Mackerel on a Miso Soup.


Chicken with Mayonaisse mixed with Ink Squid
I love this! It went great with the Black mayonnaise.


Beetroot, Beetroot, and more Beetroot
Beetroot wrapped with some sugar flakes and in the middle injected with some panna cotta. Interesting and sweet


Vintage Rib Eye - 250 g with Peppercorn Saue

Sea Bream with Crispy Pork

Monkfish with Cauliflower Puree


Apple & Cucumber Sorbet
This was amazing and refreshing, a hint of mint, cucumber jellies, and amaretto

Chocolate Truffles with Blackberry Ice cream
Nothing spectacular, nor the ice cream was good

Almond and Pistachio Cake with Artichoke Ice cream
The cake was nice and the ice cream creamy, though it pales in comparison to the Apple & Cucumber sorbet

Lake Elsinore Walker Canyon Live Camera

By JC -
It's been really hard finding the live camera for Walker Canyon at Lake Elsinore so that I can check out if there is super bloom. Alas, they have one this year (2023) but the city decides to close it for safety reasons. I guess you can just see it from the Live Camera :( http://63.42.216.178:8088/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

Tiger Sugar Instant Milk Tea Instructions

  Actual Tiger Sugar (This is their Black Sugar + Pearl Milk Tea with Mousse) Oolong (Red) and Peach (Green) Tiger Sugar Tea that costs like <$3.00 per cup March 13, 2021 I have tried "The Alley" instant milk tea, now I found Tiger Sugar Instant Milk Tea in the Chinese Grocery Store (Hong Kong Plaza) in Rowland Heights, CA and costing $2.98 each .  There were three kinds: The traditional Black Sugar, Oolong, and Peach.  Since I like my milk tea with actual "tea" so I only bought the Oolong and Peach Tea flavored one.  Now I tried looking for the instructions in YT, since there were no instructions in the cup (it was kinda all in Chinese).  So I googled and found the instructions in Etsy  (and priced there for $7.99 per set or 2 cups, kinda pricy as the mark up is like 25% more than in the supermarkets ) Where I bought it? Hong Kong Supermarket (18414 Colima Rd #1, Rowland Heights, CA 91748) Instructions: Submerge the Tea Bag into 450 ml (~2 cups) of hot water
