Just ME...

Went around Colorado Blvd where Old Pasadena is.  Very crowded and vibrant despite the pandemic. A lot of shops and restaurants and just nice to walk around.

This place is a huge outdoor mall that sprawls several blocks in Glendale.  The main area where they have the Americana restaurant has a nice European Plaza/square with an Eiffel Tower Replica and Trolley Tracks and some European restaurants like La Duree and Le Pain Quotidien and Italian Delis like De Luca's.  Along Brand Blvd, there is Philz, Egg Slut, Din Dai Fung, or for the burger enthusiast, In-N-Out.  There is also a huge Ross and Marshall's store for those planning doing budget shopping.

House Hotpot Special  I ordered the one with Fermented Tofu.  It has Pork, Corn, Imitation Crab stick, etc. Japanese Seafood Special Miso Soup (it has pork too)

We tried Crab Egg's Benedict which was really good. The bun was interesting since instead of bread, they used battered tomato. Ordered crab for 20$ as it was only 3$ more from a normal Egg's Benedict. Biscuits is their famous dish here for like 10$. Reminded me of Scones and it came with Preserved Jam, Cinnamon Cream Cheese, and Cheese Pimiento.

Website:  http://snowmonsteroc.com/ Address: 9600 Bolsa Ave Suite G, Westminster, CA 92683 There are a lot of branches around Los Angeles and suburbs. It is not just popular for Boba but for their Ice Cream Sandwich (Macaroons and Ice-cream as the filling). And she's putting the cotton candy Monster Cloud for 5.90 for any drink that includes boba and cotton candy. It is better to order the most expensive drinks with this since you can choose any COLD drink.
