A Tasty Adventure in Irvine!

5/20/2015

2 Comments

 
Our night began at Tokyo Table in Irvine’s Diamond Jamboree center, which is an adventure in itself. Tokyo table is an affordable Japanese restaurant with very fun and innovative different sushi rolls and food items. We started our meal with a delicious hot order of garlic edamame and a spicy tuna on crispy rice, both I highly recommend. This restaurant is great to go with friends.  It is encouraged to share in a family style sort of way.

Recommended rolls:
Lobster Crunch Roll
Boss Roll

Next we drove onto UCI’s campus to “Snow Monster.” This is a very popular dessert destination for the young adult age group. Snow monster is a fun place to go and spend some time playing Jenga with friends or simply relaxing by the fire while enjoying some yummy treats. 
Thai Tea
Macaroon Ice Cream Sandwich
Coconut Snow
Oreo Filled Chocolate Chip Cookie
There are many different options at Snow Monster, from snow like shaved ice, to customizable ice cream sandwiches, as well as delicious Thai tea, which comes in a souvenir Mason jar cup. They also have many different flavors of macaroons, cookies and ice cream.  Personally I ordered an ice cream sandwich with fruity pebble macaroons and vanilla ice cream.  

This is a great alternative to the average night out with friends. It is a fun change of pace and a great way to explore a multi cultural adventure.

Graduation Gift idea for your Best Girl Friends!

It is always hard trying to find personalized gifts for your closest friends, especially for graduation. When I was thinking about what I was going to get my friends I stumbled upon these adorable necklaces and bracelets on Etsy.

These customizable necklaces and bracelets are a great idea for friends leaving for college. They are so personal; as you can give them the state they are going to school or their home state. 

Depending on the one that you like, there are many options from colors (silver, gold, etc.) to length, as well as the State. You can find many different options, linked above, according to the price range and the overall design. 

Etsy is a website full of “boutiques” that are run by people, many just like you and me working from their own home. Sellers create unique items that they sell on this website. Many of these items, much like these necklaces and bracelets, are made to order therefore are very customizable with many options. 

This is a very thoughtful and personal gift that the graduates in your life will love.
