Shaab Japanese Cuisine

This restaurant for some reason, is an exceedingly intriguing place. Have you ever been to a restaurant where it is almost hard to find the logo of the place, or a business card at the front waiting area? Probably not for many of you. But this is one of those places. If you don't look carefully, you really don't know what restaurant you are in. Only the menu has their name, as well as on one of the walls of the exterior and one of the shade places. Why? I do not know. But it is a busy place with plenty of people, even though its signage is not the best. Parking is available pretty close by, but there isn't any validation (or at least Shaab doesn't talk about it) available from what we have seen. Plenty of parking, but it is a pretty crowded multistory parking structure. When you arrive, there are two doors that split up a tea place and then to this restaurant. Make sure you enter the right place, which is to the left when you enter, and you will be fine. In general, the

China Southern Business Class: PEK to CAN

I've been so off in my post these days. When I first started this blog, I had already wanted to write this post. Gee...I already even posted my photos beforehand onto Photobucket (which I deleted later on) and Biggest Menu. Talk about spoiling the blog post! Well now, it's almost 7 months later, and here I am with the post. Finally. *Note- This is going to be long with the many photos* Background info before we start: This trip was taken as part of our summer trip last year in wubibiAsia during July/August. We were taking this flight mainly because we needed to go back towards Hong Kong so that we could fly back to LA due to our roundtrip fare for Cathay Pacific, and we went to Guangzhou as well due to the fact that we would pick up our luggage which we had left some of at our hotel in Guangzhou. Photos for this trip were taken by our P200, just a few days before the Carl Zeiss lens broke down and could not open anymore. You can tell its age with the many scratches in the phot

Los Gueros Mexican Restaurant

Focusing back to exactly a year ago: I had just redeemed some airline miles from United for our Boston trip so that we would have some gift certificates to use in Boston. I was able to redeem four certificates (worth 25 dollars) at Restaurant.com with my miles, but I only found three restaurants for our Boston trip. I didn't know what I would do with the last one. Then, I looked at the restaurants near my local area and one restaurant that popped out was Los Gueros Mexican Restaurant. It didn't look familiar (haven't seen it before), but it was right in our area! Months pass, and then I finally notice where it is. The gift certificate is still on the back burner, not used yet. And what does it mean when I am now doing a blog post? It means we visited it. Finally :). After parking at the adjacent parking lot, we went in and were immediately greeted by some of the Los Gueros staff. They seated us and their services came along. Our server came and gave us chips a
