Orange County Fair Fun and Food

August 4, 2011 By Lokness Leave a Comment

Last Saturday, Bryan and I went to the Orange County Fair. Five years back, we went to the fair once. Because it was a really hot day, we didn’t stay there for more than 1 hour. In my memory, OC Fair wasn’t that fun. Man, I was wrong! I am so glad that we went this time. It was a lot of fun!!!

The really exciting thing was that I got to pet animals. The little chicks were adorable! But I was in love with the goats! Some of the goats really like to be petted. They walked close to Bryan and I to let us pet them. While being petted, they looked up at us and gave us some super cute looks… Awww…. I just couldn’t walk away from them.

Baby Goat

Other than the animals, it was nice to see all the strawberry, pumpkin, beans, cucumber, mango plants. It was a good reminder to show us what our fruit and veggie plants look like.

Beans

Of course, I have to take about the food. Because Bryan and I only have two stomachs, we couldn’t eat everything. We got a turkey leg, one roasted corn, one order of onion rings, and the fried oreo. The turkey leg was huge. It looked a bit dry, but it was actually very tender and juicy. The smokiness gave the leg some extra flavors. It was good! The corn on the cob was good too. It was something more refreshing. Onion rings just didn’t make it. The batter was thick, and the onions were not sweet. I enjoyed the fried oreo. Bryan said they were like stuffed donut holes. They were tasty. If I can eat more, I would have the chocolate covered bacon, the fried klondike ice cream bar, and funnel cake. For the fried butter, I just couldn’t imagine what it is like. No, thank you! Fried kool-aid? I am not a fan of kool-aid, so I don’t care much.

Fried Oreo

Overall, I had a really good time. It was nice to walk around and see something cool. Next year? Yea, I actually want to go again! Heehee…. We will see.

The Best Apple Crumble. The ultimate comforting de The Best Apple Crumble. The ultimate comforting dessert for the holidays. Tender apples, warm cinnamon, and a buttery crumble topping. Served with creamy ice cream, of course! I made this for my parents when they were in town. Since my mom isn’t a fan of cinnamon, I baked one without it, and honestly? Still absolutely delicious. With or without cinnamon, this crumble is a winner!

Apple Syrup. We went apple picking w/ my parents w Apple Syrup. We went apple picking w/ my parents while they were in town, and drinking fresh apple cider inspired me to make this syrup. It’s sweet, a little tart, mildly spiced, & bursting with concentrated apple flavor. Perfect for coffee, tea, cocktails, or mocktails! Even just w/ sparkling water for a crisp, refreshing apple soda. So simple, yet so good! 🍎

Fall is here! 🍂 I’m hoping to go apple picking soo Fall is here! 🍂 I’m hoping to go apple picking soon, but before that, let’s bake this Fresh Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. It’s moist, perfectly sweet (but not too much!), & packed w/ fresh apples. Honestly, it doesn’t get more fall than this rustic, cozy dessert! 

Btw, still obsessed with KPop Demon Hunters! It was so touching seeing the interview & performance of Huntr/x on Jimmy Fallon.💜

Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F (29˚C), but I’m already leaning into fall vibes. This soup starts with roasted kabocha squash & thyme, blended w/ onion, garlic, & chicken broth until silky smooth. Topped w/ crispy pancetta, a drizzle of cream, & fresh thyme. It’s layered w/ sweetness, umami, & creaminess. I’ve loved every sip, and I know I’ll be making it again (and again!) once the weather finally cools down. 🎃🍂

Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now opened at Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now opened at The Shops at Santa Anita. It’s a cozy spot w/ only about 14 bar seats, but we’re thrilled they’re now on this side of town. This Japanese restaurant first opened in Torrance in 2017, & we’ve made the trek there a few times. Now? Way more convenient! 

Their claim to fame is the sliced beef don. A rice bowl piled high with tender roasted beef, drizzled w/ sweet soy sauce & creamy yogurt sauce, then crowned with a rich raw egg yolk. In my opinion, the yolk is non-negotiable. It adds extra flavors.

While you’re there, don’t skip the croquette. Perfectly crispy on the outside, with a creamy, savory mashed potato center. Absolute comfort food.

Next time, I’m determined to try their omurice or curry… if I can resist ordering that beef bowl again.😅
