A DAY IN LAS VEGAS WITH MY LONG LOST COUSIN!!!

MY COUSIN AND I GOT TO SPEND AN ENTIRE DAY HANGING OUT AND DO SOME LAST MINUTE SHOPPING AND EATING OUT.  THE 1ST PLACE WE WENT TO WAS A FRENCH BAKERY:

http://www.chefflemmings.com/

ALL I CAN SAY IS THE PASTRIES IS JUST TOO GOOD TO BE SAID...  YOU HAVE TO TASTE IT FOR YOURSELF.  I WAS ABLE TO SAMPLE A VARIETY OF PASTRIES AND ALSO A TIRAMISU!!!

YOU GOTTA CHECK IT OUT AND TASTE FOR YOURSELF!!!

NEXT STOP WAS LUNCH... AND I TOLD MY COUSIN THAT I WAS CRAVING FOR CHINESE ROAST DUCK...  AND SHE TOOK ME TO "CHINATOWN" WHICH I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT LAS VEGAS HAD SUCH A PLACE!!!

OF COURSE IT'S DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER "CHINATOWNS" LIKE IN HAWAI'I, SAN FRANSISCO, SEATTLE, AND SO ON.

BUT HEY...  YOU SAW THE VIDEO FOOTAGE...  I THINK YOU GOT THE MESSAGE...  LOL!!!

WE ATE AT A PLACE CALLED:

SAM WOO BBQ RESTAURANT

4215 Spring Mountain Rd
Ste B101
Las Vegas, NV 89102

ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS EATING DUCK...  WHAT MADE IT EVEN MORE ENJOYABLE WAS EATING ANOTHER FAVORITE DISH OF MINE, "CHOI-SUM" (CHINESE WATERCRESS W/GARLIC OIL)...  ANOTHER "BROKE DA MOUT" MOMENT!!!

SO IF YOU'RE INTO CHINSES FOODS LIKE I AM, CHECK IT OUT!!!

"MAHALO NUI LOA", ALISSA FOR GOING OUT OF YOUR WAY TO MEET UP AND SPEND TIME WITH ME AND MY FRIENDS.  I WILL BE IN TOUCH MORE OFTEN AND TRY TO FREQUENT VISIT YOU AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!!

AND WE'LL TRAVEL ALL OVER THE WORLD LIKE WE SAID WE WOULD!!!

YOU CAN COUNT ON IT!!!

AGAIN...  I LOVE YOU COUSIN!!!
