Himilayan cuisine tucked behind the busy street of Colorado in Pasadena. This place is a real find. Cheap lunch buffets with amazing food.
Steps to peace and love!
Plate number 1!
Beautiful beautiful naan bread.
What’s that meat in all that sauce? Goat meat. It has a stronger texture and gamy taste, but I enjoy gamy meats and this is no exception.
This roasted chicken repeats on our plates. It is that good. Chick peas are also a favorite.
I think this was my 3rd plate? I’m not quite sure, but I definitely overindulged myself. Truth be told, I think I would’ve been able to have another plate. Also, self-control. Three is a lucky number anyways, and dessert plates don’t count.

An unassuming pho restaurant, with nothing going for it except tradition…
And a kickin bowl of pho.
This is the Vietnamese coffee they serve, as well as this shrimp bread which I find hilarious just looking at.
I got the noodle soup with crab. I didn’t know it was a whole crab just tossed in there. Kind of looks like it’s just hanging out. The bowl was very delicious, as is the crab. Full pho flavors, and I appreciate the massive greens.
Beef pho. Strong staple.
This is fish paste wrapped around a sugar cane and sauteed. Verdict – approved.
Deep fried fish. My parents cannot live without.

The Mid-Autumn Festival this year falls on September 12th, where the moon is supposedly the brightest. It is a Chinese tradition on this night to eat moon cakes under the sky, watching the moon.
Full moon!
This is the moon cake my mom gave me when I was visiting last Labor Day. This is the only brand she buys.
First bite under the moon! Flash needed because of the darkness. Mine was red bean with an egg yolk.
Did you have a moon cake tonight? What kind of cake was yours?
