10/16/05 Dinner at Sakura House - Sizzling Skewers of Kushiyaki 
I've been here 2 times before. I love Tori soboro here but I didn't get it this time... We had some tofu salad, veg kushiyaki, liver (my favorite!) tsukune, stuffed potato shiitake...and other kushiyaki! Food was good! and the service was also good! DIG.
10/16/05 Lunch - Chef Izumi decided to cook Chicken Udon for lunch at yydream cafe. Sounds good ^_^ and Naoju prepared Kung Pao Chicken Friend Rice (yeah....left over from Cheng Du). Udon came out so good and so does Fried rice! ひよこ (Hiyoko-Japanese sweets) was for desert. I was stuffed again :)
10/15/05 Dinner
This restaurant was called "Chang King" before. Naoju ordered spring rolls, chinese chicken salad, soup, shrimp chow men, kung pao chicken, friend rice and vegetable dish...ah...we are only 3 people...who is going to eat all that.... 
This restaurant was nothing special...I like Japanese food much better than Chinese. Chinese food is too oily and greasy. I gained 3 pounds easily eating Chinese food.... >_< 
10/15/05 Lunch Time!! My client (Naoju) came from Japan. 99% of the time, we go THE SHACK when Naoju comes in town. It's a very popular burger restaurant in Playa Del Rey. 
This is the most popular "The Shack Burger". Ground Chuck topped with grilled Louisiana Hot Link or Portuguese sausage with choice of American, Swiss, Cheddar, Pepper Jack or Bleu Cheese Crumbles. ($6.00)
I ususally have a "Tuna Melt Sandwich, but today I got a "Turkey Melt Sandwich" instead. With Sauteed mushrooms Melted Swiss cheese on Sourdough Bread with Iceberg Lettuce, Sliced Tomato and Mayo.
We had another company from Japan today, Hirotaka (Pianist). His choice was "North Shore Chicken. Grilled Chicken breast topped with Sauteed Mushrooms and Melted Cheddar Cheese.
I don't remember what Naoju ordered... it didn't look any special burgar or sandwich, so I didn't take any pic of his food, but we also ordered one basket of Onion Rings on the side :)
My friend came from Japan! It's been about 2 years to see each other.
When we are almost finish eating, something happened outside!!!! Gang (?) escaped from Police! Police tried to stop a car but the car stopped once and hit the police's little truck (how do you call this thing again?) and a taxi, and the car ran away!!! My friend saw the whole thing but I was still busy digging meat....and messy hands... that's why I couldn't go outside and take some photos of the accident. Police couldn't catch the car at the time. 
Last night (10-13-05), my friend and I went to Sushi Roku in Santa Monica.
So here is my 'pick' for today. Yeah, I have 2 places full with salad & pasta :) The other tray is my friends. We had frozen yogurt after the meal. I forgot to take a pic of my frozen yogurt. (I was busy eating...)
