2022 June List | 2022 六月清單

We bid farewell to Okinawa. I’m grateful for our friends who threw us a going away party, and even sent us off at the airport. Three years in Okinawa flew by, and we made so many great friends here that made our life in Okinawa eventful! We’ve been back in California for 3 weeks now, and the sun here hasn’t been very kind, almost making me miss the cool rainy days during our last few weeks in Okinawa.

我們離開沖繩了!謝謝朋友們對我們這麼好,不但幫我們辦歡送會,還來機場送我們。回憶起在沖繩的這三年,能在沖繩認識這麼多好朋友,讓我們的生活過的精彩!我們現在搬來加州,這裡的太陽對我們實在很不客氣!突然有點想念離開沖繩前一直下雨的日子。

Little Lapin | Lapin 小車

Selling my beloved Lapin really hit me that we were actually leaving Okinawa. When we first moved here, I immediately fell in love with the look of Lapin! The resale value on my car was great too! We got numerous interested buyers moments after we posted it online. Thank you for serving us so well the last three years, going everywhere in Okinawa with us, and letting us find precious parking spots along the Seawall. I love you and will miss you dearly Lapin!

哎,真的是要和沖繩說再見了。賣掉我的沖繩愛車那剎那,好心疼!到沖繩時,我一看到這台Lapin小車,立刻愛上!轉賣價錢也非常優秀,我們放上網賣車時,竟然出乎意料的收到一堆訊息。謝謝Lapin小車對我們這麼好,帶我們整個沖繩跑透透,還能在好擁擠的Seawall能找到車位。我愛你,Lapin小車!

TJ Tacos

802 E Valley Pkwy, Escondido, CA 92025
http://www.tj-tacos.com/

Every time we arrive in San Diego, the first meal is always Mexican food! If you’ve never had tacos in San Diego, you’ve never been to San Diego. The tacos here are Baja California style, my favorite type of Mexican food. In Northern San Diego, our go-to is TJ Tacos. Here you will find grilled tortilla overstuffed with meat, cilantro, and drenched in salsa; getting your hands dirty and making a mess is the respectful thing to do. Horchata and soda are perfect companions for your tacos. Our favorite meats are: carne asada, adobada, and langua.

每次回來聖地牙哥,第一站絕對是吃墨西哥食物!來San Diego沒吃tacos就等於沒來過!這裡的tacos大部分是Baja style,也是我們最愛的墨西哥食物之一。北邊聖地牙哥,我們的最愛絕對是TJ Tacos滿滿的肉和醬汁把手弄的油膩膩是吃tacos的基本禮儀(哈哈哈),horchata和汽水是必點飲料。我們每次會點的肉類:asada, adobada, lengua.

Joe’s Crab Shack

314 Harbor Dr, Oceanside, CA 92054
http://www.joescrabshack.com/locations/10159/

After eating king crabs in Hokkaido, we continue to eat crabs here in the US. Not as juicy and tender as in Japan, but the Old Bay seasoning is mouth watering enough. Outside of the restaurant is a harbor lined with sailboats and yachts. Taking a leisurely stroll along the piers and soaking in the Vitamin D from California sunshine is a relaxing way to spend the afternoon. Be sure to put on adequate sunscreen!

在日本吃螃蟹,回來美國繼續吃螃蟹!雖然不像日本這麼鮮嫩多汁,但吃到old bay口味的海鮮煮法還是讓我們流口水。餐廳外面排著滿滿的帆船,吃飽後在附近走走享受加州陽光(記得擦防曬),舒服極了。

Shancheng Lameizi Hot Pot | 山城辣妹子

4225 Convoy St, San Diego, CA 92111
http://www.shanchenglameizi.com/

Convoy Street is the Asian kitchen of San Diego. I used to come here with my upperclassmen when I was in college here. This time, we came with our family to challenge the spicy hot pot, but we were left defeated, by even the least spicy level. There is an all-you-can-eat dessert bar for you to rest your overworked palette before you get back into the fight. The purple rice porridge is definitely my favorite!

聖地牙哥的Convoy St.聚集一堆亞洲美食,我在大學時學長學姊常帶我們來這裡覓食。這次和家人來吃麻辣火鍋,竟然被小辣打敗!在山城辣妹子,中場休息時有無限甜點解辣,紫米粥絕對是最吸引我的部分!
