OC Night Market – Costa Mesa, CA

OC Night Market – Costa Mesa, CA. The OC Night Market took place May 9th-May 11th. The 626 Night Market brings itself to Orange County for the first time. The night market is the largest Asian themed night market in the United States. Bringing a very wide variety of different food, merchandise vendors and performances. They had food varying food from corn on the cob, stinky tofu, teriyaki beef sticks, noodles, ramen burgers, ramen, whole grilled squid, fishballs, waffles, takoyaki, burritos, smoothies, fresh squeezed juices, hot dogs, scallion pancakes, boba tea, sushi, kebabs, beef jerky, frozen custard, funnel cake and much much more. I only had one stomach so unfortunately I couldn’t try everything I wanted but I did stuff myself to the brim. They also had different vendors selling merchandise from art, clothing, cell phone accessories and even 3D printers. I picked up maybe too many items from the Stussy/Undefeated booth. They packed all my merchandise in a black trash bag so I looked like a trash man the rest of the night. OC Night market featured a cornucopia of different performances from singers, rappers, beat boxers, dancers and comedians. Congratulations to PAC Modern for winning the Horizon dance competition and the $1000.00 prize. OC Night Market also featured the worlds largest Boba tea in the world aptly named Bobasaurus Rex. If you like to try different types of Asian food and don’t mind lines the OC Night Market is for you. Check for upcoming events in SoCal at www.626nightmarket.com. Love, peace and Fish Roe Ball grease!

Ramen Yokocho Festival – Arcadia, CA

Ramen Yokocho Festival – Arcadia, CA. Ramen Yokocho is the biggest ramen festival in the US and wasw held at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia on March 29th and 30th. It featured over 14 different ramen from Japan, Los Angeles, San Jose, San Diego and Las Vegas. Ramen Yokocho also featured the now famous ramen burger. The festival also featured the Tokyo City Cup celebrating Japan Family Day which had different performances including Japanese guitar, singers, sumo wrestling, lion dance, taiko drums and kendo sword fighting.  Now about the food, I wanted to try all the places from Japan of course, no need to eat at places from LA. I tried Mattou Seimen-Tokyo Ramen Show 3 year champion, TATSUNOYA-tonkotsu ramen ranked #1 in Kyushu, Tsujita Tokyo-#1 ramen ranking in Zagat, LA Weekly and LA Times and the ramen burger. The ramen burger was actually not a gimmick and was really pretty good. The ramen patty actually worked and didn’t totally fall apart and the sweet and savory sauce was very tasty.  Love, peace and ramen burger grease.
