Spring Break Days 4 and 5: Universal Studios and Asian Food

On Wednesday I took my brother and his girlfriend with me to acting class and then we went to Hollywood and Highland for some touristy fun. We got lunch at a random Asian restaurant a couple blocks east of Hollywood and Highland that turned out to be amazing! I got vegetarian Bibimbap (no egg). It's a Korean dish with lots of veggies and rice, with some delicious gojuchang chili sauce. This was a seriously amazing meal and I was full for six hours! I didn't even finish all of the rice.


After Hollywood we went back to Beverly Hills to walk around.


For dinner we ate at Mexicali in Studio City, and I got tortilla soup and veggie fajita salad. Yum.

Yesterday, Thursday, we went to Universal Studios. I hadn't been there before and it was so fun!!



We rode the Mummy ride a couple times in a row:

Fun.

I also liked that all the trash cans sort out recycling:

Cool, right?

We went on the 40-minute Universal Studios tour.

For dinner after the park closed we went to the sushi restaurant in the Universal CityWalk and my brother's girlfriend and I shared the vegetarian Shabu Shabu, a Japanese version of hotpot. Veggies, noodles, and tofu in miso soup broth. It was a ton of food and ended up costing $7 per person split between the two of us.




After dinner they ate a bucket of doughnuts. I did not partake.


I would definitely recommend spending a day at Universal Studios. We all had a great time!
