quality seafood
i first heard about quality seafood from my sister. it is basically a seafood market in redondo beach (near los angeles) which can also prepare your seafood right on the spot. quality seafood is famous for having fresh uni... yes, fresh from the tank and served in its prickly shell. i was in southern cal a few weekends ago so i asked my friends to take me there.
the oyster and clam bar
more than a dozen types of fresh oysters to choose from and shucked open on the spot
once you've decided how many oysters to get, you can also mix and match the oyster types, so if you really want, you can pick one of each!
we had a mix of smaller oysters and the big, fat ones too. big, fat ones were awesome!
steamed prawns in garlic butter sauce - gotta say the boiling crab had a tastier sauce
it's uni's turn... the pricks were still moving when we got it
i'm normally not a uni person at sushi restaurants, but fresh uni is a different story. although i can still only eat one sea urchin (about 5 huge pieces of uni) at one sitting.
btw, i've always thought uni is the brain part, but it's actually the roe of the sea urchin...
thanks to D and A for taking me there and finally feeling satisfied

midnight shopping @black friday
i am never a person who would get up early to go shopping on 'black friday', no matter how cheap the things get discounted.
this year, i decided to give it a try. not to get up early, but to stay up and go shop starting at midnight. the gilroy premium outlets have been organizing their midnight shopping event for the past few thanksgiving black fridays. all participating stores open doors at midnight through 10pm the next day.
don't assume that no one will shop through the night.
there were lots of people.
the line outside of the coach store at 12:00am... the end of the line is already on the other end of the plaza!
overall, the stores were only slightly more crowded compared to a regular weekend. i was disappointed the discounts were not that great of a deal though. the sales were what you'd normally expect from the outlets.
2:39am - our first victim of the night... fighting to stay awake
mcdonalds was the ONLY food place open and it was crazy inside!
3:20am - the most crowded mcdonalds i've ever been
3:39am - our mcmuffins, hash browns, coffee and juice - finally after the longest fast food wait
5:13am - mission accomplished and homeward bound
surprisingly, staying up all night wasn't so bad and the experience was not negative either. but maybe having this experience once was enough...
