It's kina 

Sisig Fried Rice, Tocino Steamed Buns, Lola's Pork Lumpia
Pork Lumpia has always been Filipino's favorite finger foods and this one is as good as any other Lumpia :) but with a Twist, they use mango ketchup (made from scratch)
Sisig Fried Rice - a twist to those who love Fried Rice and Sisig
Tocino Steam Buns - Reminded me of Pork Belly Buns that my Dad use to buy in Chinese stalls, but now, instead of Pork belly, they use Tocino and the tocino is quite good and soft/chewy too.

Fried Brussel Sprouts
didn't realized that Brussel Sprouts can be that good but tad sweet with some bacon bits and oranges. 

Tagalog Old Fashioned
Didn't really taste different from usual Old Fashioned drinks but was curios to know that they use Panutsa and googled that it was some sort of brown sugar used in the Philippines.  Also, the alcohol was reallllllllly strong!


Biko
Yummy Bico with Coffee Icecream.  And id on't know what they added, mebbe pinipig, but there was something crispy there.

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

  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
