			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another group of outdated pictures. It almost makes me excited for this April! Well of course I&#8217;m excited! Lol I&#8217;ll have a new set of pictures to share. If you notice alot of roof top shots thats because I wanted to show the different paintings and murals of Buddha. They have different scenes painted on each side. I also totally regret not taking pictures of food! The upcoming year i&#8217;ll eat lots of food and totally take pictures of everything!~ LOL</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/hong-kong.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-229" title="hong-kong" src="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/hong-kong.png" alt="" width="500" height="400" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Ok so these pictures aren&#8217;t exactly too clear because they were yet again taken from my phone! I couldn&#8217;t find the adapter to put the memory card in my digi cam and apparently I didn&#8217;t have my digi cam&#8217;s mem card in it lol but this is the front of Asia Time&#8217;s Square &#8220;Hong Kong&#8221; in the day time. As you can see the other little side stores beside it. Now lets take a tour of whats inside Asia Time&#8217;s square or Hong Kong!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/crawfish-hut.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-226" title="crawfish-hut" src="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/crawfish-hut.png" alt="" width="320" height="256" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This is where we went for dinner today. Well we did to go lol and took it home, but 10 lbs of crawfish! Extra Extra Spicy. 10 lbs doesn&#8217;t sound like a lot but we were getting full pretty fast. There were 6 of us eating lol. Rawr I love how they make that very spicy sauce like exactly how I like it. I believe 10 lbs is like 54 bucks. If you want it extra spicy you&#8217;ll have to let her know, but of course knowing my lao blood nothing is ever to spicy for me!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/bento-box.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223" title="bento-box" src="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/bento-box.png" alt="" width="320" height="256" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This is a place next door where i use to eat often, I don&#8217;t know what the deal is now. I think they only open at certain times -.-&#8221; I notice I would see people if I go before 2 but isn&#8217;t that the usual time sushi restaurants close after lunch and reopen like at 6?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/taste-of-korea.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-237" title="taste-of-korea" src="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/taste-of-korea.png" alt="" width="320" height="256" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Another great place! Taste or Korea! I love love this place. Their Korean food is not bad actually. I don&#8217;t have a particular favorite lol because I always just order something different and anything that looks yummy on the menu that particular day.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/decor.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-227" title="decor" src="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/decor.png" alt="" width="320" height="256" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This is a store next door somewhat to taste of korea. It&#8217;s a Decor 1. It has plenty of home decorations and of course decorations for Asian homes -.-&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/deli.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-228" title="deli" src="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/deli.png" alt="" width="320" height="256" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This photo isn&#8217;t exactly to clear but this is across from Decor somewhat or around the corner theres a Deli. The Deli makes the food for the restaurant next door Bistro B&#8217;s such as those viet hoagies or Banh Mi as many people call it. I&#8217;m quite unsure because I think Banh Mi just means bread lol but -.-&#8221; You guys know which Viet Sandwhiches I&#8217;m talking about. I think they also make Spring Rolls! Gotta Love Spring Rolls!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/bistro-bs.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-224" title="bistro-bs" src="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/bistro-bs.png" alt="" width="320" height="256" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Gosh! I love this place. It&#8217;s wonderful for Vietnamese food. They also have a Thai hot pot. The hot pots are great size for a great price. They even have a menu for family dinners. A menu that could feed up to 9 family members or more I believe. My personal favorite are their spring rolls which they get from the deli next door lol. The spring roll is awesome. I love love thier broken rice dishes also. Their Durian Boba Tea! Must have of course if you could take Durian!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/nhu-tailoring.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-233" title="nhu-tailoring" src="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/nhu-tailoring.png" alt="" width="320" height="256" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This is a tailoring shop on the other side. Of course they tailor and do alterations to special event Asian style dresses</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/khoblo-asian-candy-store.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-231" title="khoblo-asian-candy-store" src="http://thaiallstars.net/lifestory/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/khoblo-asian-candy-store.png" alt="" width="320" height="256" /></a></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<blockquote><p><strong>Mochi</strong> (<a title="Japanese language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_language">Japanese</a>: <span lang="ja" xml:lang="ja"><a class="extiw" title="wiktionary:餅" href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%A4%85">餅</a></span>; <a title="Chinese language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_language">Chinese</a>: <span lang="zh-TW" xml:lang="zh-TW"><a class="extiw" title="wiktionary:麻" href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%BA%BB">麻</a><a class="extiw" title="wiktionary:糬" href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E7%B3%AC">糬</a></span>) is a <a title="Japan" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan">Japanese</a> and Chinese <a title="Rice cake" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_cake">rice cake</a> made of <a title="Glutinous rice" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutinous_rice">glutinous rice</a> pounded into <a title="Paste" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paste">paste</a> and molded into shape. In Japan it is traditionally made in a ceremony called <em>mochitsuki</em>. While also eaten year-round, mochi is a traditional food for the <a title="Japanese New Year" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_New_Year">Japanese New Year</a> and is commonly sold and eaten during that time.</p>
<p>Mochi is similar to the <a title="Chinese cuisine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_cuisine">Chinese</a> <a title="Rice cake" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_cake">rice cake</a> <em><a title="Nian gao" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nian_gao">nian gao</a></em>; however, mochi is shaped from cooked glutinous rice right after it is pounded, whereas nian gao is steamed directly to its final form from a batter made of uncooked glutinous rice flour. In the <a title="Cuisine of the Philippines" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisine_of_the_Philippines">Philippines</a>, it is called <em>palitao</em> in <a title="Tagalog language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagalog_language">Tagalog</a> and is coated with <a title="Sesame" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sesame">sesame</a> seeds and grated coconut.</p></blockquote>
<p>Credit to Wikipedia <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mochi">Link</a> &amp; this was some good stuff! They also have mo chi ice cream of course!</p>
