French-Vietnamese Goodness

French-Vietnamese food always hits the spot for me. It's difficult to find a dependable restaurant that can do it well though. Say hello to La Vie. It sits in a shady parking lot in the San Gabriel Valley. My family has been going to this place for over 15 years or so. I kind of forgot about this place for awhile though. The last time I came, my food was a little dry so I didn't go back for around two years. This time, they were on the mark though. The best part of La Vie? All meals are around $20 each, which includes your main dish, appetizer, all you can eat bread, and soup. That's extremely cheap for French food. 

 Here's the bread. 

 Our super buttery pea soup.

 My lobster tail. 

 My whole bowl of butter to dip my lobster in. 

I ended my night with a souffle. Yum!

You definitely don't come here for the ambiance. The place is so small that it can actually get stuffy. Not a place to impress a date, but it's good food.

How My Sister Spent $900 HK

We all have our things that we splurge on, but this is what my sister did with $900 HK dollars... that's basically about $100 US. She spent it on macarons from France & then proceeded to take over 100 pictures of them in different poses.  

She got citron, raspberry, rose ginger, praline, pistachio, and salted caramel flavors at he Joyce boutique in Central. The pop-up shop is only open until the end of December. 

She's very happy abut her purchase. You can view her 100 pictures on her blog or you can go and spend your own $900 HK. 

Happy Eatings!
