A couple of weekends ago we went to Kaya, a Korean restaurant. We had a coupon for their dol sot bimbimbap (go to www.cheapirvine.com our new "secret source"). We were reminded why we usually don't go to Korean restaurants with the kids--several small bowls of banchan + scorching hot stone bowls = constant supervision of squirmy kids.
Across the way we decided to stop in a Persian bakery called Assal Pastry. They sell pastries for $10/lb. The pastries were yummy, but why can't they label them to make it easier for the customer to order? I sensed the employee was getting a bit frustrated with our descriptions when we were trying to order "Um, the one with chocolate and in the shape of a triangle?" k picked the strawberry cake when we got home and declared she liked it better than chocolate.
FYI: this assortment came out to about $8.50--it adds up!
Last weekend we ate at an Indian lunch buffet in Tustin called Haveli.
k liked the garlic naan and tandoori chicken. D and I enjoyed the fiery hot chicken curry (and the naan, of course!) It was $6.99/person with our coupon (the restaurant advertises a lot) and k didn't have to pay, so that was nice. There weren't many people, but maybe because it was the weekend. We were quite full after that. (D had run 20 miles that morning, so he had reason to eat a lot.)
On Sunday we celebrated my sister's birthday. Her dessert request was S'mores cupcakes, and my mom delivered:
We also had a DiGiorno party, but that will be another post.

It's hard to look at your blog without salivating. I like having you guys in the area because you try all the restaurants for us. =)
