Fried Rice Noodle With Beef @ Sam Woo in San Gabriel

Chocolate Souffle @ Bottega Louie (my favorite LA restaurant) in Downtown Los Angeles, Financial District

Pho @ Saigon Eden in San Gabriel

Cod Fillets with Tofu, Salted Meat, and Luffa Squash

Salt and pepper the fillets, and then dip in a quick egg wash. Braise the fish in a broth or stock (I used a combination of chicken broth, sesame oil, and soy sauce) - I also cooked the meat and squash in the broth to give it flavor. Layer over cold tofu, and top with Hoisin sauce. Served with white rice on the side.

Being home equals never-ending Asian food: soy sauce ramen and shrimp dumplings.
