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.

Afternoon tea was on my must-do list for London. W Afternoon tea was on my must-do list for London. We made it to @diamondjubileeteasalon. It was beyond what we imagined. Live piano performance, great service, lots of tea choices & incredibly beautiful sweets, scones & sandwiches. Our favorites were rose eclair, fruit scone, smoked trout sandwich, & ham sandwich. That doesn’t look like a lot of food, but it was! We were crazy stuffed, & I couldn’t even finish my fruit scone. If you’re still hungry, don’t worry, because you can get refills for scones & sandwiches. It was pricey, but worth to do it at least once!

York is a charming little city filled w/ history. York is a charming little city filled w/ history. Romans, Saxons & the Vikings were all here at one point. I love walking through The Shambles. Narrow street w/ timber-framed buildings & cobblestone road. It felt like we went back in time. It resembled Diagon Alley in Harry Potter too!

Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Michelle & James took us to their favorite local pub. Nice & cozy. I think I understand a bit more why British loves pubs. It’s a really comfortable hang out place. The food was incredible! We both got the roast beef sirloin. It came w/ a giant Yorkshire pudding & lots of flavored roasted veggies. Sticky toffee pudding was perfect! There is no better way to start our Great Britain trip.

Brings me right back to Hong Kong!🍲

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. I was inspired by our recent Maine trip to create these. Moist chocolatey cake rounds filled w/ a slightly tart strawberry buttercream & a hint of rose. They’re fun little treat for Valentine’s Day. Btw, these are freezer friendly too. Keep a few at room temp, & freeze the rest. There’ll be plenty of desserts in the coming month.😉

The food in the picture is sweet glutinous rice dumplings w/ black sesame 落湯糍(糯米糍). The word “糍” sounds similar to “錢”, so the dumplings represent money. Eating them will bring you lots of wealth! 

The dumplings are chewy & gooey like mochi. Coated in black sesame seeds. Right before eating, dip them in sugar. Perfect sweet treat for the new year!

We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! T We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! Their soft serve is creamy, yet not too sweet. Lots of choices too, like ube, matcha, black sesame etc. The taiyaki is crispy on the outside & filled w/ goodness, like Nutella, red bean & custard. My only wish is that they open a store in the San Gabriel Valley, so we don’t have to travel far every time!😆
