Flashback Filipino-American Diner: 54 Holly Restaurant

“Always enough, the man said while playing his guitar, the song is called Always enough…” 54 Holly Restaurant, located in the heart of Downtown Pasadena on the corner of Holly St. and Raymond Ave. Before entering, I thought to myself, it’s about time we get some American breakfast. I’m starving and this trendy Insanity Workout … Continue reading

“Thai”ing up loose ends, Khun Dom Restaurant

It’s been a while… a long while. You remember the last time you ever felt something special between you and someone you dated? A couple of dates (or hours depending on the amplification of attraction) and somehow things get hot and heavy. Shirts, shoes, heels and finally undergarments are left and just when you’re about … Continue reading

Coffee Shop Conundrums: Indie vs. Corporate; Solo vs. Chain

$4.00 lattes are the norm, whether you go to Starbucks or your local free trade coffee watering hole. Everywhere you go, the beauty of Capitalism reigns supreme. Even in one of the worst economical recessions of U.S. history, you can afford to purchase this luxurious necessity, while struggling to pay your other daily bills. However, today’s … Continue reading

Finale for Foodoofus Dim Sum Tour: King Hua Restaurant

“The clock showed 10:31am, I think I made the right move.” Nowadays, many people have this common idea being fashionably late is acceptable to most events (unless of course you RSVP’d your payment in advance and its something you really enjoy). I decided to pull the bait and switch just to get people out of … Continue reading

Too Posh for Posch Restaurant?

Lunch, what will we ever do without you? The midday activity, any individual from whatever background looks forward to. Majority of the time, it consists of food, drinks and complaints up the wazoo. Dreading that company evaluation? Better get a pint of your favorite beer, to calm your nerves. What about that lunchbox sandwich your … Continue reading

Ton-Chan Ramen: Will The Real Ramen Spot Please Stand Up?

“I’ve heard about you.” Ever hear those words echo in the back of your head? Every time we encounter something new (be it a person, place or thing) there’s this pre-determined perception we already have just before we try it. Sometimes it’s nice, while other times it isn’t pleasant by a long shot. There’s a … Continue reading

Foodoofus Rating Criteria and The Legend of The Death Taco, Part 2 of 2

Apologies everyone, for the lack of updates from last week (especially with regards to part two of this review). It took a while due to some last minute projects from working with the awesome Midshutter crew on some fun Photoshoots and various other personal priorities that needed to be taking care of. Two more side notes: First, … Continue reading

Foodoofus Rating Criteria and The Legend of The Death Taco, Part 1 of 2

Hello everyone, I know most of you are tired of this two-part blogging spree, but I’d like to put out my criteria on judging many of these places. That way for future postings, you will further understand why I would give a place said rating, before sending any criticisms (or haterade messages) for not agreeing … Continue reading

Childhood Dining: The Coffee Mill & Bakery… Starting Point Part 2 of 2

Before I got into the whole food writing thing, I always felt pretty ignorant about food… let alone the standards of good food. What are these standards in the first place? Is it the taste? The most bang for your buck? Constantly I am reminded of an ongoing theme with me and that continues to … Continue reading
