Playing catch-up: RA Sushi

RA Sushi

We were scouting for cheap good eats around Irvine and found 1/2 off items for happy hour at RA sushi. Not the best but it's sure cheap and filling. If you are craving good sushi, stop by between 3-7 Mon.-Sat.

Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna: (I had to try this again. This time the rice was extra crispy)

Wasa:

I haven't had much of a life since school has started. Jeannie and I took a much needed night to relax. Amid midterms and arduous amounts of schoolwork a relaxing Halloween was just perfect. We decided to eat to Wasa, an asian fusion restaurant not too far from campus.

Mama's & Arizmendi

We took a last minute summer trip up to Norcal to camp. Unfortunately we were kicked out within 20 min of setting up camp because of illegal beverages. Oh well, instead of ground turkey with Prego sauce and Cup O' Noodles, We had Mama's and a bread bowl from Fisherman's Wharf. NICE!

Mama's

Montecristo: the homemade jam in the middle made this dish and DAMN was it good!

Chocolate Cinnamon French Toast: Nomnomnomnom

Fisherman's Wharf

Bread Bowl: sorry for the bad photo, I took it in terrible light. Hearty and filling, but was lacking in flavor.

Experiment: Enchiladas

My enchiladas definitely need some more help. The Tomatillo sauce was what lacked in flavor, next time will be better.
