Queso De Bola Cheesecake, Corned Beef, etc

Week 12 is not over but I got some "pasalubong" from the Philippines.
Queso de bola cheesecake from the crukitchen. Sweet, salty, not too dense, creamy cheesecake. Its flavor reminds me of a Filipino rice cake called bibingka. It's sooooo goooood. I love it!
This weekend is St. Patrick's Day and all I can think about is eating corned beef and fried rice for breakfast. I'm hoarding all the corned beef at the market!
I got highlights on Saturday and the salon had a rice puffy muffin with walnuts and stuffed with red bean paste. I ate three

Cinnamon Dolce Latte

Week 11 is an uneventful week in exploring food (unfortunately, the opposite happened early Saturday AM about 30 minutes after I finally decided to doze off. Watching Hart of Dixie's Where I Lead Me episode plus an unexpected call was emotionally exhausting) . I just had some cinnamon dolce latte from Starbucks on Friday night. We just have lots of food at home (leftovers from my aunt's birthday and my mom's spread). Too full to go out! Too mentally occupied to fulfill my stomach's desires!

Larchmont bungalow and Sanamluang cafe

Week 10: Larchmont Bungalow and Sanamluang with friends (photos by Jelic). I had the Bacon Eggs Benedict with fruits. I still love Urtth Cafe's eggs. For Dinner, I finished 2/3 of my beef friend rice and my favourite shrimp cake. I also went to see the Endevour with my parents at the California Science Museum.
