Park's BBQ |
Halmoni cooking my favorite kalbi! |
Rumer Willis |
After that, Sissy and I spent the afternoon with our grandparents at their apartment, watching Korean game shows and napping. It was nice just to spend time with them; I only see them every other year or so.
We had my favorite Korean BBQ for dinner, but this time it was made by my Halmoni. :) What is better than a grandmother's cooking?
Afterwards, we met up with a couple of high school friends who are now LA transplants, and headed to a very cool bar, Harvard & Stone. The cocktails were just superb (A+ for mixology!) and we even had a pseudo-celebrity sighting... Shane West from the movie A Walk to Remember, and Rumer Willis (daughter of Bruce/Demi) who was actually singing with the band. She was very pretty in person (tiny waist!) and had an interesting sound. Kind of soulful.
My uncle took me to a great diner breakfast at The Original Pantry Cafe. It is an LA landmark open since the 1920s, where Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, and even mobsters would frequent for some awesome breakfast platters. Then Sissy and I stopped by Santa Monica for a quick shop (H&M!) and met her college buddy for lunch at Kokomo Cafe.
Then it was time for the long drive back to Phoenix... but fortunately traffic wasn't too bad! We made it back before sunset, and relaxed in front of the TV. On my last night, Sissy took me to dinner at Prado, at the Montelucia Resort. The Nonna's Spaghetti was to DIE for... so fresh and delicious. Yum.
I had such a good time visiting my sister. I was definitely sad to leave her. But I'll get to see her in Tennessee at the end of this month!
