Mama Woo's Doesn't Disappoint

We went with my mom to Mama Woo's tonight. It's located on King St., across from McDonalds. They've got a few tables if you want to eat there, but a lot of folks seemed to be getting take-out. I always say that a Korean restaurant's food should be judged by its' side dishes. Mama Woo's has awesome side dishes. The main dishes were delicious, too!




Said side dish choices...




Mandoo soup...


Kalbi plate...


Fish jun plate...
Fried tofu, potato salad, and fish jun were my faves. Thumbs up. Yes, I recommend.

Friday Night Saimin...

We were craving saimin tonight and decided to try Dillingham Saimin. We always passed by it, but never stopped in. To our surprise, there was lots of parking in the back, and the restaurant was bigger than expected. Overall, great service and the soup and noodles were tasty. The french fries did not disappoint. It was quiet and mellow with an old school ambiance.




Yummy fries...

Wun tun saimin...


Cold saimin was yummy...



Couldn't wait to try the apple pie a la mode...

Las Vegas Baby...

I was on hiatus from my annual Vegas trips while managing the stores, but now I'm back on track. My dad loves the Vacations Hawaii tour packages, so we left on Thursday and came back on Tuesday. Scratch that. We left on Friday because Omni Air International sucks and there was a major delay. Despite our trip being cut a day short, we still managed to get a lot done.

Here I am waiting at the airport. Love my new Banana Republic booties. They match everything and were an additional 40% off when I bought them in-store a few weeks back.

Here's me and my pops riding the shuttle bus to the California Hotel. I do like that you don't really have to worry about picking up your luggage and can get straight to the gambling.

Buddha in the lobby of the Cal...

Main Street Hotel and Casino, where we spent many hours gambling and eating...

Banana cream pie from the Main Street buffet...

Lappert's ice cream, where I bought a mocha every night to keep me going...

We made a stop at the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop because a certain Pawn Stars fan wanted me to bring home a Chum Lee shirt. We thought it was open 24 hours, so we went late one night hoping to miss any lines. Turns out they only buy stuff from sellers through a small window 24 hours, but the shop itself is not open 24 hours. We were told that all the main people on the show are never in the shop anymore. Got my shirt and got out.





Went shopping at the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, because they have an Urban Outfitters and H&M. I was intrigued by the giant stripper with pole located in the mall. Only in Vegas.

Passed a Savers and convinced my dad to stop, so I could search for vintage goodies. No luck. It was all too new to be considered vintage cool.

Also checked out The Orleans, M Casino, Hilton, and Stratosphere.



Ended my stay with breakfast with my favorite Vegas residents.

So glad to have taken a vacation but so tired and unready to get back to work.
