{Insider Eats} Three Drunken Goats

Pulled pork & piquillo with toast ($9)

Three Drunken Goats is a Spanish-style restaurant and wine bar located in downtown Montrose on Honolulu Avenue. It’s a small quaint town near Glendale and La Cañada Flintridge. Their food was impressive and I was quite surprised the restaurant wasn’t as packed. Reading the reviews, I can see why. They somewhat lack in service. It took forever to get our waiter’s attention and took longer than expected to get our water refilled. It was an empty night and there should be no excuse for the slow service. I’m tempted to visit there again to check out their happy hour menu. I do hope their service has improved since I last ate there.

{Insider Eats} Maccheroni Republic

Last Wednesday, I had dinner with 3 of my friends at Maccheroni Republic in Downtown LA. I’ve heard about this place through my cousin and the way she described it sounds similar to my favorite Italian restaurant, Colori Kitchen, in DTLA too. Rustic Italian ambiance, great homemade food, reasonable prices and BYOW (bring your own wine = free corkage!). She told me we’ll try it when she completes her yoga teacher training class in June. I’m thinking, “I can’t wait that long! I HAVE to try this place…SOON!” I told my good friend about this place and we planned dinner with 2 other friends last week.

{Spring Basics} Chambray Shirt + Green with Envy

The best part about living in Southern CA is that we get nice sunny weather year round. It’s starting to get warmer and I can’t help but feel exited about wearing my Spring clothes and doing outdoor activities like picnics in the park and hiking.

{Insider Eats} A French bistro called Mignon

Last Wednesday, my gf planned a dinner get together and decided to check out Mignon. When I stepped in, I felt I was being transported to a small bistro in Paris. I really wish I was! But this little hidden gem is nestled in between Babycakes and Cole’s on 6th Street/Main Street in Downtown LA. It has a lot of charm. It’s quaint, intimate, and cozy.

{My Style} Spring Fling

What a hectic crazy week. Glad the unwind this weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather in L.A. Few weeks ago, I went shopping (a.k.a retail therapy) in Ontario Mills Outlet. I needed to spruce my wardrobe for Spring/Summer and bought few items from Gap and J.Crew. Today’s outfit is fun, fresh, and minty! I never owned a denim jacket and was searching for a fitted jacket that’s affordable yet easy on my wallet. I found the perfect denim jacket at Gap for 40% off! The color is light wash and soft material. My 2nd favorite find was the J.Crew toothpick jeans in mint and it was on sale for 50% off. I love to bargain shop!

A must try aperitif is the Lillet Rose. A perfect springtime cocktail drink perfect for any warm, sunny day or night.

{Insider Eats} Coco Laurent

Few weeks ago, I had dinner with my colleagues and few of my friends at Coco Laurent in Downtown LA to celebrate my birthday. I wanted something casual and walking distance within my work. Coco Laurent seems like a good choice. I attended their soft opening last November and tried few of their hors d’oeuvres. I do remember snatching up their devil eggs like hot cakes. I wanted to re-visit and try their full menu so I researched on Yelp for recommendations.
