Part Deux aka Kacey + Udon = ♥

So I know I said I was anti Valentine's Day but at the last second I mustered up the courage to ask Kacey to be my Valentine.  To my surprise she said YES and I was elated!  We decided to get din din and I had never tried Udon so thats what we decided to eat.

She comes by to pick me up at 1830 and its off to J-Town!  It was so cool there.  I had never been and the ambiance was quite interesting.  We went to this shopping center that had karaoke and sushi bars and other places of interest.  The little Japanese restaurant we went to was so adorable!  My brother would have fallen in love with the hostess, she was absolutely charming!

The tea was perfect temperature (I can't drink hot or cold things... everything has to be tepid).  Very delicious and then the hostess brings us some pickled cabbage (also very yummy).  The anticipation of the dish was rising and in a few minutes we had our udon!

It looked so cool!  Like, there was everything under the sun in it, kind of like this Molcajete dish in Mexican cuisine, and I was actually a bit overwhelmed.  I didn't know what to try first so I went for the noodles.  SUPER YUMMY!  After that I slowly and methodically attacked the rest of the yumminess swimming around in the soup.

Kacey, it was awesome!  Thanks so much for introducing me to Udon.  I'm gonna definitely be eating that on a more regular basis.  GOOD CALL ON THE MUSHROOM!!! 

So when we were done we wanted MANJU!!! Yay cuz its the best duh!  So we drove around... what 5 times maybe? looking for parking and nope... It wasn't meant to be right Kacey?  It just wasn't meant to be.... Welp, there's always Tozai!!!

So we decide to try getting yogurt or some tea but closer to home since I was to meet Desiree at a bar in Rosemead at 2100.

After several evasive maneuvers and FML moments, Kacey gives up on Yogurt and we check out this place Darren had been raving about called Half and Half.  It was soooooo quaint and cozy!  I wish I wasn't planning on drinking after that because otherwise I would have joined Kacey for a cup of tea.  Instead I watched her drink and downloaded iPhone apps.  I am definitely coming back for some Almond Milk Tea!

It was time 2145 to rendezvous with Desiree at Al's Cocktail Lounge... continued in Part 3.
