This place is famous for their fresh strawberry stuffed glazed donuts, and rightly so. Hubs, who is a known donut connoisseur, proclaimed them to be some of the best he has ever had. If you are ever in Glendora (and why would you be??) by all means, get yourself one!
We had some pretty mediocre barbecued ribs with my folks at a whitewashed, suburban bbq joint. Then we went to the San Gabriel Valley for dumplings
Oh my goodness. I love me some dumplings! Now the SGV is a mainly chinese and vietnamese neighborhood just east of downtown LA, but I am always shocked at how many people in the Los Angeles area never go there. Perhaps they are intimidated by the unknown restaurants and lack of English. Maybe they worry about the famous LA traffic. Whatever. They are the ones missing out. The food is always delicious and so very cheap. That's two things i adore. Delicious! Cheap! Seriously folks. Find an ethnic neighborhood in your city and try a restaurant where you are the only one who doesn't speak the language. Point to whatever everyone else is eating. Chances are you are going to have a fantastic meal. I guarantee it will at least be an adventure.
I decided to make a healthy soup for dinner. I heated up a pot of water, threw in a few cloves of crushed garlic, a half cup of white miso, a package of tofu i had diced up, some shredded chard and crumbled geem. (Roasted and seasoned seaweed sheets). I poured that over a fistful of soba noodles my newly gluten free sister had given me from her pantry. Paired with a baked japanese sweet potato (drier and pale yellow in comparison to it's American cousin) and it made for a yummy, filling and healthy dinner. perfect for this rainy monday night!
