One of my favorite restaurants in LA.
AXE, pronounced "a-shay" is a minimalist restaurant on Abbot Kinney, CA. Their interior is designed with sustainable woods, and their menu offers fresh seasonal ingredients with mostly local and organic sources.

South Bay's hidden oasis, The Belamar Hotel :)
We've been always curious about The Belamar Hotel every time we drive by. The street signage for the hotel (brown + light blue) is kinda nice and different, so it catches your attention. But the hotel itself (from quickly driving by) doesn't look as exciting since you can't really see much of anything from outside.

We had a fantastic night at Royal Claytons a few nights ago.
Our good friends Yosh and his wife Sawa from Japan were in town, so we wanted to take them to some place cool and unique in LA.

This is where we went for our Valentine's day dinner last night :)
The restaurant has been there since 1969 and is Polynesian-themed with California/Mediterranean-inspired menu. They serve wonderful traditional American style steak and seafood.

Dreams come true! I've always wanted to dine at the restaurant right by "Pirates of the Caribbean" since I was a little girl, but I never got a chance to do it. And I stopped going to Disneyland for a long time. I think the last time I was at Disneyland was more than 5 years ago. Since my sister is a big Disney fan and was in town, we decided to go there with her this time :) We had a great time there, and there was definitely the magical spirit at Disneyland which I thought was lacking at my last visit. The FANTASMIC show was amazing with all the special effects including film projected on water, fiber optics and lasers, and the fireworks for the 50th anniversary "Remember... Dreams Come True" was impressive as well (although, they had to stop the show in the middle of climax due to high wind...). At least we saw Tinker Bell fly from the Matterhorn to the Castle which was fun.
Dine in experience at Blue Bayou was really cool. There is no place like this where creates interesting atmosphere and food is excellent considering we are at a theme park. It's so dark inside that everything seems almost ghost like, and you see all the riders go by... We are in the same room, but it creates weird distance between them. It's definitely a place to go at least once when you are at Disneyland! We will be going back there for sure!
