I’ve decided to concentrate my blogging on what I love most – food. Please visit Dining with the Catty Critic from now on for updates and new posts.

Thanks!

A couple of weeks ago, I invited some friends to dine with me at OKAN. Read about my 2nd visit at Dining with the Catty Critic. Was it as good as the first?

Busy weekend

Catty Critic — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 23:53:10 +0000

The Husband and I saw “District 9″ and “Inglourious Basterds” this past weekend. I have reviews for the two movies coming up. The short version is “Yes, go see them.”

“Inglourious Basterds” was the first Tarantino film that I really liked. I know, most people are ga-ga for Tarantino movies but I never saw Pulp Fiction and what scenes I did see didn’t engage me. I did see the two Kill Bill movies and while I appreciate them from an artistic point of view, I wasn’t really grabbed by the story or Uma Thurman. IB was just fantastic. Quirky, funny, action-y…

“District 9″ is great. It’s a nicely layered movie that has a good story and action but also depth and social commentary. A really well-rounded movie. Just beware of the shakey-cam during the first half…

I didn’t get a chance to update Dining with the Catty Critic with all the places I went to in the Bay Area and San Diego last week. However, I did post about our visit to the Playa Vista Farmer’s Market.

I’m in San Diego again for the week and have plans on going to Tsuruhashi, a Yakiniku (Japanese version of Korean BBQ) restaurant tonight.

Manna Restaurant Review

Some friends and I were supposed to hit up the Korean BBQ Festival in Koreatown on Saturday but on our way there, one friend who got there earlier stated it wasn’t really all that. $15/plate with a long line and $4 for a crappy beer? Eh…

So we decided to go to Manna, a Korean BBQ joint that had an all-you-can-eat buffet for $16.99! We had our own Korean BBQ Festival.

Restructuring

Catty Critic — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:01:35 +0000

I’ve decided to do some restructuring here and create separate blogs for my food and movie reviews.

All food-related posts have been migrated to Catty Critic in the Kitchen. Still need to create a decent banner for the blog.
Movie related blog still under migration.
