Feedback:

  • October 18, 2017 (Wednesday, 9 PM)
    • Tried their London Restaurant Festival Menu
    • 3 course for the price of 34.50 GBP
    • I personally didn't find the "WOW" effect that I would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant though was fascinated how attentive the waiters are.
    • Pumpkin Velouté
      • Despite not a lot, it was actually quite thick and thus feeling. I actually liked it. Went well with the mushrooms and nuts
    • Seared Calves Liver
      • This was the main course that I chose. It was really good, though would have wished if it was as part of the main course (or the appetizer), instead of the actual main course since it was too much for me.  It was really good though and big.
      • The potato puree was pretty normal.
    • Chocolate Fondant
      • Pretty and Good
    • Apricot and Almond Cake
      • Meh - you can prolly just go for the Fondant.

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
