I haven't done one of these in a while. Here's a trifecta of places I've posted on many, many, times. So I thought you'd like something with mostly just photos.
Golden City:
I actually hadn't been back to Golden City in a while. But recently, I actually had lunch there twice in two weeks! The first time with my good buddy "YZ" and the second with my long time FOY (Friend of Yoso) The Zompus……aka MrZ.
Anyway, here are the food photos:
I know, it's the same old thing….so once in a while, I'll order something different, like the Jellyfish Head with XO Sauce.
Which could have used a bit more XO Sauce. The Jellyfish texture was very nice though.
I guess this is where I bid Aloha to MrZ, his lovely wfie, Paparratt (aka MrsZ), and their little "Woolet" (Little Z of course). MrZ has gotten a big promotion and is off to Seattle. Congrats and best wishes, I'll miss you guys!

Buga:
It's been pretty warm here for the last couple of weeks……so ramen is out of the question with the Missus. She was craving Yukkwe Bi Bim Bop, so the first place that came to mind was Buga.
Of course I got the Bi Bim Naengmyun.
Of course, being open for dinner at 4 in the afternoon also works in their favor. From the placard in the window, it seems that the place is undergoing a change of ownership….so we'll see how that plays out.

The Original Sab E Lee (Linda Vista):
**** This location of TOSEL has closed
For some reason I crave TOSEL whenever it gets warmer. We visited twice in the last two weeks.
Over the last two visits we've found that the quality of beef used in the Koy Nua seems to have been upgraded. It's much more tender now.
Funny story, the first time the Missus had this, She noticed the spots on the plate, thinking it was blood and was kind of grossed out. Still, we enjoyed the beef. On our second visit, I noticed that the orange spots were actually decorations on the plate!
For some reason, the Missus has taken to the Tod Mun Pla – the fried fishcake. I think it's the sauce.

So there you go, three places I've posted on many times….at least there are a couple of new dishes, right?
I hope everyone has had a great Easter weekend!
