Malibu Farm Cafe, Malibu Beach

Website:  https://www.malibu-farm.com/ Cafe Menu: here Address: Malibu Pier, Malibu Beach Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Star Feedback: This is actually quite good and seems like a popular spot Really good and Fresh food for Brunch! Love it! Coffee is tad sweet and they don't seem to handle it with care as they seem to have just given it to me slightly spilled ruining the latte art (and it seems like it was already ready for a while and was just not served). NEXT time: I should prolly try the burger as seems like a lot of people ordered it. cauliflower pizza (lavash bread + goat cheese + three cheese + cauliflower) I actually like this despite that it is just cauliflower! Never realized cauliflower can taste so good on a pizza farm scrambled eggs w/smoked salmon ricotta + baby potatoes + country wheat toast I didn't like this as the smoked salmon tasted too salty for me. I can just prolly skip this. Burrata Salad with Seasonal Fruit burrata...

Monica Area Sta Monica Location : 2327 Main St. Santa Monica, CA 90405 Rating: 4.5 out of 5 star Menu: Link here . Feedback: They said they are the only award-winning coffee roaster in Los Angeles (SoCal) I actually thought the coffee and food was quite good though I have a couple of things It is tad sweet - for some reason, they seem to already mix some sugar in the latte, so next time, mebbe ask them not to put sugar or make it less sweet I love that they have Green Match Latte :) love it! We ordered Paninis and Early Grey Tiramisu - it was quite good and Tiramisu was very sweet (which I guess is very American and I don't really like but Panini was good with Pesto in it) Panini Caprese   Fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, sundried tomato spread, fresh basil, pesto and olive spread I actually like it and it's very feeling. Love the fact that they add pest...

During Lunch, it comes with Free Green Tea and quite cheap for around 12/13 bucks. #4 Beef Taste like Bulalo! #1 House Special This is for the ones that likes "intestines/innards" taste.  Have a strong pungent smell which some people may not like but I actually like it!

Republique, Fairfax, Los Angeles

Website:  http://republiquela.com/ Address: 624 South La Brea Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90036 ( Fairfax and Hancock Neighborhood area , 10 minutes from the Grove) Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Star Feedback: Seems like an upper class kind of dining which prolly will costs around 50-75$ dollars per person depending if you go for drinks and dessert, as that will bring the price much more. Food is actually quite good and seems to have been inspired from various things e.g. the Grilled Octopus Salad reminded me of Tea Leaf Salad. Gioia Burrata Crostini  rocky sweet melon, harry's berries cherry tomatoes, basil I actually like this but tasted more like dessert cuz of the sweet melon. Grass-Fed Beef Tartare  tarragon aïoli, pickled red onion, potato chips This was with a twist as it was served with a potato chips.  Tartare was a bit sweet. Charcoal-Grilled Mediterranean Octopus Salad watermelon, cabbage, pistachio, chile, lime I actually...

Website:  http://lucillesbbq.com/ Address/Info: Long Beach Town Center 7411 Carson St. Long Beach, CA 90808.  They have more locations around. Phone: 562-938-7427 Rating: 4 out of 5 star Feedback: This place is know for the BBQ meats and apparently, their popular order are the Baby Back Ribs and BBQ Tri Tip.  Both were quite good (though it can't compare with the ones I've tried in Texas, see post on Rudy's BBQ ). We ordered salad as well with Brisket Burnt Ends  Ceasar Salad which was OK.  Spinanch & Onion Dip which I love! Onion String Fries (Half was already too much), and I find that a bit salty though. Comes with Free Biscuit (a bit sweet) with cinnamon butter.

Cirque Du Soleil: Mystere (Treasure Island, Las Vegas)

Image
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 https://www.cirquedusoleil.com/mystere Address: Treasure Island Hotel, Las Vegas Feedback: This is one of the original shows of the Cirque du Soleil, which started back in 1993 and is still showing till today. For those who likes a lot of acrobats, this is really a good show. I generally like almost all except the "fillers" though it's kinda funny every now and then. For me the most interesting part was the one with the Cube Act .

Zumanity (Cirque du Soleil, New York, New York, Las Vegas)

Image
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars Feedback: Other than the fact that you see gorgeous people and some really good acrobatics, most of the show is really just a small guy making "fun"/teasing people and trying to be sensual.  Compared to other Circque du Soleil act, this one is wanting of Acrobatic acts known to Circque du Soleil.  Don't get me wrong, there were really good ones like the acrobats and the chinese contortionist on a (half spherical swimming pool), however most of it were just making fun of people, engaging people to do some sort of "sensual" acts.  I honestly think that you can just opt for other cirque du Soleil. But if you are there to see more half naked people, then choose this.

Battista's Hole in the wall (near the Strip, behind Flamingo's Las Vegas)

Website: http://battistaslasvegas.com/ Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Star Address: 4041 Linq Ln, Las Vegas, NV 89109 Feedback: Just a behind Flamingo's, near the LINQ ferris wheel, this "Hole in the Wall" Italian restaurant is actually quite good.  But I feel that it's the same tomato sauced used everywhere.  It is quite filling though and we only ordered three dishes for four people! Place looks really interesting though with lots of trinkets and things hanging in the ceiling. Good thing: 13 dollar cover charge and 13 dollar minimum BUT Free WINE Free Soup or Salad Free Cappuccino Free Garlic Bread Cappucino - too sweet for me Lasagna! Sooo good! Chicken Parmigiana - It is like Chicken Patty with Tomato Sauce. Yummy Meatballs - one of their classics Minestrone - quite good!
