Advice: DO NOT VISIT THIS RESTAURANT

For some reason, the previous month's review in TripAdvisor's reviews were good. But this week, seems like a lot of the the customers have the same sentiments and feedback

1) Horrendous Service
We were waiting for our table and we were there slightly early.. it was already 20 minutes past our reservation and we have to ask them again for our table. For some reason, other guests were accommodated a lot faster (especially if they were all girls and wearing 'provocative' dresses') 
We waited more than half an hour for our mains, then another half an hour for our dessert. and the couple near us was also angry because of the extremely slow and rude service.  My friend ordered steak - it arrived COLD! 
We ordered a bottle of wine, and the when we asked to pour more wine to our bottle, the guy said that the bottle was empty. I was sure there was still left!!! We actually was so pissed off that we ask them to take off the service charge.
2) Food
We ordered the 4 course set menu - nothing spectacular or good. The only food that I personally think was good was the Shrimp and grits. The crab cake too was quite good.
3) Place
It's OK trying to be hippy and cool.. honestly, it felt lack of originality and authenticity. A bit loud and dark (some people like that kind of place, I don't).  I am quite surprised that my friend said that they spent 25M pounds to do up the place!

OVERALL: never going back to this restaurant!!!

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
