LA with panda

Awesome relaxing trip. We didnt spend lotsa time rushing around. Just going around in a relax pace to the places that we missed a lot. To the places that we missed out enjoying together 2 yrs ago. Was really a long drive, panda managed to tahan all the way. By the time we arrived at our hotel, it was pretty late at nite. Had a little commotion while checking in to the hotel (Kyoto Grand) cos the room they gave us initially was bit eerie, and the aircon produce really loud sound. Lucky they agreed to swap us into another room. By the time we're really settled down, we were soooo hungry. Lucky its wkend, and that our hotel is just walking distant from Daikokuya Ramen. There's a small crowd there, we waited for quite awhile before getting a table. The Ramen was heavenly, because its really good, we're really hungry and the hot yummy soup really warm us up from the super cold weather outside. After dinner, we tried our luck at the japan village, and found the mochi shop stil around, and its open!! Ordered our favourite flavours, red bean and mango... mmmm ... still as good!! ^_^ We went back to Korean tofu house for dinner the following day after disneyland (we arrange it that way cos we know we'll be in disney til late, and tofu house open 24hrs =D). Because of a full tiring day at disneyland, we woke up late the following morning. Went to westwood, had our lunch at mr noodle (thai food). Shared the green curry and pad thai. So full!! that we cant get the cookie and ice-cream sandwich for dessert. Head to UCLA after lunch, lucky to find the carpark gantry open, so we do not need to pay for parking (not sure why.. mayb cos its holiday?) ahh .. memories memories .. really miss this place!! took lotsa photos around til sun set. Still feeling full fr lunch, we proceed to Beverly Hill for a walk first. manage to find Edelwise chocolate shop and bought some chocs to try before it close at 6pm (we reach there around 550pm). Parking is free after 6pm, so we took our time to stroll around the area, and went to buy some products at Lush. Dinner was at our another favourite place. Vietnamese food!! its a little drive (around 20+mins), and lucky us, there's no queue. =) food still taste as good! yay!! no disappointment!! =D Why we don't have it in singapore!!?? Cant rem what we did after Viet full, but rem we head back to hotel later, bathed and rest a bit. And thought since we're leaving LA the next day, its our last chance to grab the ramen again. LOL.. so we head down to the shop to get a bowl to share. Last day in LA, finally the shabu shabu shop is open (they had a break til our last day in LA .. phew!) We reach there before its open, and the list was already almost half a page -_- so we didnt make it to the 1st round. So while waiting, we went to walk around, thats where we saw min min! =D so cute! Panda say wanna buy for me, but i keep saying dun wan, save $$! so i pulled him out of the shop. Finally our turn in shabu.. yummy yummy yummy!! ahh ... why again we cant find as gd ones in singapore!? saw a lot of people drinking their coffee, so we bought a cup to share. In the end, panda insisted to buy min min for me .. heez.. luckily he bought it, cos min min became my bolster for the rest of the year. ^_^
