Barbecue with the Family!

Prepare yourself for some serious food porn. Every time I glance over these photos, I cannot help but drool. Two weekends ago I went home for a holiday and my mother was kind enough to assume I missed her cooking. So we fired up the grill.

I will simply say what the foods are, and you will assume they are all delicious and tender. Because they were.



Lamb chops on the grill.

Lamb chops, onions, some filet mignon in the back. You can see some chicken on the side.


Sweet corn!

Corn! Again!


Delicious chops, right off the grill.

Wimpy's (Restaurant Review)

Rana, here!

Just a couple months ago there was this restaurant called Perko's Cafe on a nearby street corner. We didn't have a chance to go there when it was still open, and within a week after it closed, Wimpy's was open!

The burgers are okay, they don't ask you how well you want them done, and I'm a medium rare kind of girl. I went with my friends Jasmine and Aron, and we enjoyed our food. Burgers and sandwiches for breakfast. Yum.


Aron and... well... just a funny shot of the menu.


Me and Jasmine got an Prime Rib Au Jus sandwich. The fries were pleasant enough, crispy and hot. The sandwiches meat was really flavorful and tender.


Aron ordered a delicious burger. I think it's called the California Burger and has avocado slices, mushrooms, and swiss cheese on it. Aside from the burger, the fries were the best part. So delicious.


We were really disappointed at the amount of avocado on the burger. I think it was two slices? Not nearly enough for all that bread, meat, and veggie. Still, it was really delicious.


All in all, an okay experience. A tad overpriced, but the ambience is enjoyable. They have nostalgic cartoons playing all the time, and the actual restaurant is themed after the Hamburger guy from Popeye the Sailor Man. If you didn't know, his name is Wimpy. Enjoy that fun fact for today. :]
