Redondo Beach & Shopping...errrr..Groceries Onlylah :)

We decided to go fishing yesterday (well, actually Abah decided ;)). Redondo Beach is only about 10 minutes drive from our apartment. It's a beautiful beach, with a big pier, lots of fishings going on. There're lots and lots of birds around too..even pelicans..always waiting for their lucky day when some of the catchers throw some fishes at them.

Abang and Adik had great times chasing the birds


Waiting...


Still no fish..after almost 2 hours...poor Abah :)

Finally, at 3 p.m., dear Hubby decided to call it a day. Phewww... too many anglers anyway, and almost all were out of luck. Ikan mogok agaknya, haha..

So later we decided to do some groceries shopping, since Ramadhan is coming in less than 1 week. Naturally we're looking for Asian groceries. There's one that I had been to when I was here last year, named Bangkok Market. It's a Thai grocery shop. So off we go. Took about 30 minutes. It's located in Melrose Avenue, near Downtown LA. So we get normal things like, cili api, daun limau purut, lengkuas, budu, sambal etc etc.

Then we went to Pioneer Blvd. This is the place where most Indian communities are living in LA. They actually have a Little India here. Rows of Indian shops..be it restaurants, groceries, textiles, watches, jewelerries, electrical appliances, etc etc all run by Indians. So we went to one of those shops and grab some spices, a few types of chillies, frozen paratha etc etc.

Actually, there're lots of Asians here in LA. There're the Thais, the Indians, the Pinoys, the Japanese, the Koreans..to name a few...they live in certain parts of LA where u can find the big community there. If I'm not mistaken, where the Pinoys are, the streets name like Mindanoa Street.

Hmm..I think it's time for the Malaysians to be here as well?? I might start a Malaysian restaurant or grocery store..LOL.

Anyway, I went home fully satisfied. Now my kitchen is well stocked, and I'm all ready to celebrate the arrival of Ramadhan, Insya-Allah.
