Let's get started!

Is it really time? Well, this might not be a food post nor a restaurant review, but I should say a few words before "officially" start up this blog. Call it a "soft" opening if you like. :)

I've been meaning to start a food blog for awhile now, especially in the past few years living here in Los Angeles. One of the first blog I read was Eileen's blog about food in Los Angeles. Ever since then I've noticed the Los Angeles food blogger community has gotten bigger and more wide spread. Over time, I've became an avid reader of many food blogs around the area and had the privilege of meeting and eating with quite of a few of them. I can't list everyone, but Tony's Sinosoul, Mike's Right Way to Eat, Matt's Mattatouile, Choi's Folie a choisauce are amongst the many I read and help me get through the day at work. (I'll also add Kevin's Kevineats which are my eyes to many of the fine dining establishments around the world....)

Finally, I'm not forgetting about you Kat of Kat9Lives! At least, I got you to try Soon Du Bu! Ha!

Let's get started! Time to break out my new dSLR and for me to start writing and posting instead of wasting my time and posting pics up on facebook. Feel free to drop me any comments and suggestion and this blog is a work in progress.

Cheers,
Danny

P.S. Thanks again to Mike for getting on me for writing on this blog. I hope to be updating this thing often!

PPS: I gotta thank my buddy Daniel at work for thinking of this "Kung Food Panda" name. I honestly have zero creative bones in my body.

I've heard many good things about some of the restaurants during this yearly event, and I personally had a great time at Petrossian in West Hollywood. Check it out and support the business of some of your favorite restaurants in Los Angeles! Another event that I'm pretty excited about is the Tequila Expo 2009 in Tijuana.

Hockey Hall Of Fame - My Date With Lord Stanley (Toronto, ONT)

Image
Entrance As we shift some of these review back to our neighbors upstairs, Canada, this is a way to introduce myself. Hi, my name is Danny, I'm a Panda, and I'm also a Hockey fan. Growing up in the United States, before becoming a foodie, a "gourmand," I've always been what you call a sport nut. I love Baseball, Football, Basketball, and heck, even NASCAR, but in the past 3-4 years, the sport that I've been following primarily has been Hockey, and my San Jose Sharks. All this was probably due to the nightly hockey conversation with my buddy Samuel, a hockey fanatic from Canada. One of the main reasons I decided on adding Toronto to our Canadian tour wasn't due to its food, but for me, selfishly, I wanted to see the National Hockey Hall of Fame. It's like going to Graceland for them Elvis fans. Here we go: Shot from Entrance Located underground in a small shopping center, the Hockey Hall of Fame was neatly tucked in a corner, though the Hall of Fame inte

Les Délices de l'Erable - Great Little Tourist Stop (Montreal, QC)

Image
Les Délices de l'Erable It's our last day in Montreal, and the last meal that awaited my buddies and I would be the main reason I had suggested Canadian trip in the first place, Au Pied de Cochon. Since we had to finish the smoked meat plate from Schwartz from the night before for breakfast, none of us were hungry and would rather save our appetite for the foie gras feast that awaited, thus we stopped by this rather lovely gelato and maple syrup shop while we were strolling around the streets of Montreal. Inside Les Délices de l'Erable This was a very clean and neat shop. You were able to not only purchase the various flavors of gelato available, but also maple syrup to take home. I would have to say though, an French speaking Asian girl was pretty hot! Various Flavors of Gelato While it may not be the best gelato I've ever had, it was definitely very good. One of the flavor I chose was maple syrup and I love the flavors in the gelato. Even though the temperature in Mon
